To be fair, they're much closer to "real" Shelby's than what the Vegas team produces, even if that's the company Shelby founded. In the sense that the ford team put's a serious amount of engineering and design work into their Shelby models. Whereas the stuff in Vegas is basically just. throw a...
Exactly, find another new good looking, fun to drive, modern rwd v8 powered sports car with almost 500 hp that's destined to have a ton of aftermarket support for this price. Then we'll compare. The challenger and camaro essentially don't exist anymore, not in their current form. Aside from the...
I think it's certainly possible, and that such a vehicle would have a ton of appeal. I would rather see a mid-engine mustang as it's own stand alone model, an expansion of the mustang sub-brand just like the mach-e. So you could still have the front engine, 4-seater coupe if you wanted to, with...
Well said, I'm surprised to see how often people get Shelby's approach to car building wrong. I've seen so many car fans who seem to think Shelby was this staunch conservative car builder who just put a v8 in everything because it was patriotic or something. In reality, he was an innovator who...
Not bad, but because the trunk shut line droops down now, I'd like to see someone try this there the blacked out part follows the mostly linear line running under the taillights so it's more even. Might look strange with the black going under the taillights, but I'm curious.
We can hope. But until Shelby hires real engineers and designers again, I wouldn't be too optimistic. Not to sound too mean, but the fact that Shelby went from creating their own unique cars with tons of creativity and devolved into a tacky tuning shop annoys me.
Damn, I was excited that it was a Shelby variant being tested by Ford and not the lads in Vegas. Don't get me wrong, what they do is cool, but the Shelby corp based in Vegas is basically just a tuning shop at this point, nothing too exciting imo.
While such news doesn't surprise me too much, I don't believe the answer is to layoff thousands of engineers. The last thing you want to do is overwork your employees and stretch them thin. That never leads to anything good.
Long wheelbases generally look pretty good. The key to a great looking design is a long wheelbase, with short overhangs. The reason 70s land yachts look so bad is their front and rear overhangs just go on forever.
