I absolutely LOVE what this thread is turning into…

Here are some recent USED super snake sales…
225k for a new SSR is actually a bargain

 

[robvas]

Wasn't that a $155k car new?

This is like people who pay big money for "special edition" sneakers.

Here's what would satisfy a lot of people, but Shelby will not do:

1. Give a couple cars to some YouTubers and whatever magazines are left.
2. Get some performance data. This way they can legitimately say things like "5 seconds faster around ______ raceway than a Standard Dark Horse or 2020 GT500", or "runs a 10.1 1/4 mile"
3. Let these YouTubers test the cars and come back and say "this car ran 5 laps at _____ raceway and didn't have any overheating problems. Great job Shelby!"

Until then...

They are out of their mind.

Shelby American has become a complete joke. Out of their minds.

Not Jack Doherty though. Couldn't drive a nail.

For a starting price of 225K - what would you rather buy???!!! Thats exotic car territory IMO. I bet optioned out you’d be looking at close to 300K on this car.

I would be cross shopping Lamborghini Huracan STO or a used Aventador…. Maybe a Ferrari of some sort… just my 2 cents If i was going to burn 300K on a car.

Lambo or Ferrari sounds much cooler, for sure. Then I thought about how much to get those cars serviced vs. a Ford. In the end you’ll be paying a LOT more for an Italian exotic just in parts and service.

I agree that the S550 went too European. The added roundness doesn't make it look more refined, it makes it look more like just another boring family car. I think the mustangs in the mid-60's actually looked best of all.

If Chevy had just modernized the camaro's interior and fixed the visibility issues for a 2024 model I probably would have bought one of those (in SS convertible configuration) instead. When people occasionally comment they thought my S650 was a camaro at first, I take it as a huge compliment.

So the S650 went too Japanese? It literally has a Honda front-end, and that includes the headlights.

I don't know what Hondas are like in the US, but most of them down here are fugly AF.
When I read this I had to give Bonnie a hug and tell her the mean man doesn't know what he's saying.

Which Honda would that be. I have not seen one that fits that description.

Not sure what model and year that is, but I assume it's a 2023 Accord. The Mustang has had the look of that front end for a very long time, with the exception of the headlights, so I don't think they have copied anything from the Japanese.
