I really don't think the Shelby name belongs on a $40,000 tarted-up hatchback but to each his own.

True. Chevy even used the name of a racing series. LOL

Funny thing is that the shelby charger was just as fast as the big 350 at the track.

Kind of like what Chevrolet did with the SS moniker for a while there...

This is not a Ford offered option, it is a post title package. So basically its Shelby America wanting to put the name on it.

Similar to the Super Snake, GT350 etc etc

I just threw up in a cup, then I threw up in my mouth, then as I was throwing up in my mouth I drank the throw up from the cup. That is how disgusting this over priced Focus is. Shelby American should be ashamed of themselves pricing this piece of crap package at $15,000. Looks like a $200 combination of stickers and parts from Pep Boys.

Interesting...

500 units of garbage...

Why not just buy the ST, improve suspension, add power, get Shelby badges off internet,'then rejoice! You saved 12,000$

I had one of these in 87 but with the turbo and it was good competition for the time also don't forget the GLHS Omni and Charges.

I agree,

Shelby American is whoring out the name slapping it on anything and charging insane amounts for it. Its sad.
