Shelby Mustang GT1000

Panicked Ford executive:
GM is giving us hell with a much more attractive car, and now they're invading our space! With the ZL1, we'll have to actually compete against a product in our price range and we won't be able to tell everyone how the GT500 is better than anything they've got! What do we do?
"Brilliant" Ford executive:
I know! We'll create another halo car!
Reasonable Ford executive:
Wouldn't that be confusing? It would just be adding another trim level to the already complicated structure with the GT, Boss, track packs, GT350, GT500, and classic models, like the Cobra. Don't we have enough Mustangs? Maybe we should try actually building a better car.
"Brilliant" Ford executive:
No, that won't be a problem! Now we'll really give GM hell! With a new halo car, people will be buying Mustangs like crazy!
6 months of production pass.

Reasonable Ford executive:
I told you it wouldn't work.

Interesting post. Might make a hell of a lot more sense if Ford had anything to do with the Shelby 1000 but, alas they do not.

The car was featured recently on www.who-really-gives-a-rats-ass.com as COTM.

Just another tuner car that isn't worth the $$. JMO.

I know, I don't understand why people think Ford has much to do with this trim line. This is all about Shelby trying to differentiate from the GT500 which is encroaching on his business. Plain and simple. I honestly don't think we have room for Shelby at these levels of performance.
