Thought this was a cool shot. It is from a motor trend article.
The front bumper looks like a ricer add on. Kind of chintzy for a Shelby.

Yuck, not a fan of all that plastic. Love that '65 model though.

You could add chrome bumpers to it....

I would like to see those chrome bumpers in person. I do like chrome accents on my Mustang. Yes I know that it does not make it go faster or handle better, but it does have to look good doing it. :ecit fd

I don't know, I like it. The large front valence keeps air out from under the car where it screws up aerodynamics. I really like the hood.

Well its only $34k on top of buying the base car.

I like it....34k like I'm not sure. After market/Ford Racing upgrades most probably be installed cheaper but then you won't have that magic name.

In that price range there are other cars that I would consider.

Definitely. At that point I'd be looking at a Z06. Hell, you can get a C5 Z06 now for relative chump change.

I like it.

I also like it that you can work your own deal for best price for a "regular" mustang through the dealer, then pay Shelby directly for the upgrade. As opposed to paying the dealer $15 or 20k over sticker for a Shelby in the showroom. I think this new marketing deal may net Shelby more sales, as the dealers had to have been slowing him down with those markups.
