Is the Shelby Gt 500 going to be the new SVT cobra, or is svt working on a new cobra as well. If they are seperate cars, anyone have any specs on the new cobra?

They just announced the California Special is up next. Check out the press release from Blue Oval Newsellhef said:They are making models in between though, there is talk of a Boss and Mach 1 in between the Mustang GT and GT500.
drmustang said:Talking about a joint venture or a collaborative effort between Shelby and Ford is about as plausible as an eighty year old playing in the NFL. Does anyone think that the Ford big shots are telling their highly paid MIT graduate engineers to go sit in the corner while an octagenerian calls the shots. Don't think so guys. The "Shelby" name here is a marketing trick and as good of one as any Ford product has had in recent history.
Klay said:they never said shelby called the shots, they said they worked together on the project which is highly plausible
that doesn't mean shelby did a whole lot, he probably just gave his opinions on a few things
