"Starting with the already-quick Focus ST, Shelby adds Ford Racing suspension components and bigger brakes with cross-drilled rotors, all finished off with a Borla exhaust system incorporating larger, circular outlets. Cheesy body graphics aside, some of the styling enhancements include functional hood vents, a hatch spoiler, unique interior bits and wider wheels and tires. Shelby does mention a tuning option that will increase the engine's 252-horsepower output to more than 300, although no pricing is mentioned. Speaking of price, Shelby says this souped-up hot hatch will carry a "budget minded price" (*ahem*). What is that you ask? Well, after you buy a 2013 Focus ST from your local Ford dealer (base price: $23,700), the Shelby upgrades will cost an extra $14,995. Production of these cars will be limited to just 500 units."

What a joke. For that much money faster and nicer looking cars can be had. Looks like they are trying to milk everything out of Carol's name they can now that he's gone. To me, that company really doesn't mean much now that he's gone. And by doing this, it just proves my point.

So, Ford thinks they can put Shelby on anything now?

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

Carol did it when he was alive too.
