First 2010 I actually like, smartened up and took off those stupid looking side stripes off.

Menacing looking.

Here's a picture of my Camaro next to my friends' $90,000 2008 40th anniversary Shelby KR. Without knowing the Shelby cost 90K everybody that came out to look at them liked the Camaro the best. These were his friends and mine. Many said the Camaro had a cool chopped look to it. Granted the Camaro has that new car on the block interest right now. I happen to like Mustangs myself. I just like the new Camaro better. American muscle is American muscle.

you are correct nobody really calls it a ford mustang shelby gt 500, but if you look at the title of the car it will say ford mustang shelby gt 500.

Variety and options are a beautiful thing, I hope they make more variations this would be cool for any car.

Ever notice that a lot of people try to make out a wide variety of offerings/options as a bad thing?

What is Ford supposed to do? Send out a note to performance shops asking that they please refrain from modifying the Mustang.

Geez, that 2010 Shelby is just a dog in the looks department...the 09 style was a little better. It sure is a rocket though.

Doesnt flow. You can describe 750hp in fewer words. Its almost as if they let a 6th grader name what they would think the fastest car in the world should be called.
blah blah blah

more like smart companies out there realize that the mustang sells and if you tweak it and make it your own you can profit from it.


simply good business practice.........

I agree. But it still results in the brand being whored out. I don't look forward to seeing all those versions of the Camaro....hopefully we won't?
