First he took a big step down by doin that new sixer shelby lately (I dont care if it is a fast sixer, it's still a sixer), and now he's collaborating with West Coast Customs... I know they do good work on big dollar clients, but why in the hell is a legend like Carroll Shelby teaming up with the same guys who do "Pimp My Ride". There's something wrong with a man as great as Shelby in car history teaming up with guys who put bubble exhaust tips, TV screens pointing down from spare tire wells, juice bars, TV's in front bumpers, and the like in and on cars.
Sorry for the rant lol.
Paul, I agree with you for more recent cars, but didn't Ford buy the GT-500 name from Shelby in the late 60's so that they could just slap it on slightly built factory mustangs?Killercanary said:I've never owned an SVT product, but I am upset that they just abandoned the cobra name in favor of Shelby. Shelby mustangs were hot back in the day, but the cobra made a name for itself with the '93-up models that have gotten better and better every year since SVT debuted them. I feel ford sort of turned its back on current cobra loyalist in favor of jumping on the retro bandwagon even more in bringing out the old shelby name just to appeal to some of the 50+yr olds that remember the shelby back in its hay day. Shelby was shelby and the cobra was SVT... I personally think it should have stayed that way but what does my opinion matter?
