The fact there is a multiple page thread about the name Shelby here but no threads on the Dark Horse in the Shelby forums speaks volumes …
no one with a Shelby wishes their car was named Dark Horse instead but I’m getting the feeling some of you wish it was named GT500 or Cobra
Denial is...
Correct … I have tons of friends in the exotic world and same thing for Huracans… the AWD ones are faster but the 2wd cars are more sought after …
manual transmission Lamborghini pull big premiums over automatic even though they are slower …
in fact the last few heritage GT350 Rs have sold...
yes the GTD is freaking awesome… I know some people bitch about lap times but from what I’ve seen … yes its fast but it’s also a total drivers car … its more then its lap times if that makes sense …
also its funny … the old old school Shelby guys think the last real Shelby’s were the 1967 cars...
Then why are new Dark Horses selling for 6k and 7k off sticker around here and my car 6 years old with 16k miles would still sell for well over sticker?
yes I agree that Shelby American has fallen off but to suggest the name Shelby still doesn’t carry weight is incorrect…
if the S550 Shelby...
There are 2 year old NEW Dark Horses sitting on lots by me at 7K discounts ........
Seeing massive discounts everywhere.....
I dont think there was ever a time where Ford Performance GT350s or GT500s were selling under sticker - partially because of that Shelby name ....and yes I know that Cars...
There are some people on the S550 GT350 and GT500 forums that would like to have a word with you ….
We have quite a few members that actually drive/track their cars and track them …
curious if you have ever had your car on a track?
I have about 2 to 3 hours street time in the GT500 and my opinion mirrors yours. Unless your driving at 9/10 or 10/10 it’s kind of boring and you can absolutely feel the extra weight on the nose of the car even when cruising…but the acceleration is impressive… but Tesla acceleration is...
Im going to steal someone elses thoughts from the S550 forums......this is the problem......so even looking past the name....
First there was the supercharged GT500 that launched in 07
Then in 13 and 14 they went to the Trinity supercharged 5.8
Then in 15 they launched the VooDoo
Then in 20...
LOL we live in the future......yet then......
Adds retro fox body and classic Mustang guage options to S650
Launches anniversary addition S650
Launches FX package on S650 hinting back to fox bodies of the past
I mean if your really living in the future...isnt the name "Mustang" inherently...
My GT350 has an actual oil temp sensor and gauge
will be over MSRP at first just like the Dark Horse was but my guess is eventually you will see deep discounts similar to the deep discounts you can get on the Dark Horse today …
without the boomers to get all excited about the Shelby name...
I am going to have to disagree with everyone who says the Shelby name only means anything to boomers........ I have TONS of kids/ teens/ young adults that get excited when they see my car......have let tons of young kids sit in it when they get excited to see a Shelby exc......
Remember ...the...
I’ve driven a Plaid. It’s cool but after you have floored it a few times …it just has no character. And the 99.9 percent of the time you’re not flooring it … it’s like driving a really fast Camry
