Ford has made it their #1 priority to kick Camaro's ass.  Chevy just released their ZL1 Camaro a week or two ago (which is  impressive in its own right) and now Ford has totally eclipsed their numbers with this new Shelby.  We are in the hay day of pony cars wars right now...I just hope they don't get all Mustang II when they restyle it in a few years.

i beg to differ.. a lot of people don't know the importance of matching parts.. and how many people can make that much power with that kind of gas mileage? gas mileage isn't important to me, but i have to admit, that's pretty amazing for the power they're throwing at the tires

Except what everyone is missing, Chevy designs their own pony car. Mustang has to sub it out to shelby to get a mean machine. What does that say about Ford's Engineering team?

Still a mean car, but food for though.

because carol shelby and his design team are second to none in the american car world.. ford would be stupid to discontinue that relationship. ford has proven that they have what it takes to build top-notch pony cars.. look at the new coyote 5.0.. i'm not a mod-motor fan, but i can't dispute the fact that 500hp stock is a great starting point to build a super fast car. at the rate ford and shelby are going, they're going to be guning for the corvette sooner or later

I would bet good money that the only reason Shelby's name is on that car is "MARKETING".  Kinda like GM does with their Allison transmissions (and did with their Calloway and SLP cars) and Dodge does with their cummins engines. If Shelby's name wasn't on that car it'd simply use another legendary name such as Boss 351. To say Ford couldn't do it alone is ridiculous....

The new Mustang GT w/5.0 is pretty amazing in stock form...way better than the Camaro SS.

Overall I think Ford is on a roll.  The new F-150's are awesome, the new Fusions are very nice, the Taurus is a great car.  Ford has come a long way with their interiors and I think the Mod motor has finally proven itself.  I'd say Ford's engineering team has nothing to prove.

shipping costs are typically about $4000ish..
exchange rates works in our favour :)

but they need to be converted to RHD which is the big cost, and the fact that there is really only 1 place that brings them in and compliances them.
but.. getting off topic.

can't see what the numbers turn into when these thingshiznit the track.

probably pretty py for the amount of power.. 200mph makes it sound like they're geared for top speed.. a ring and pinion change could turn that around pretty quickly, though.. i'm estimating 12's with the untouched shelby setup
