I like it but that overhang on the rear is getting longer each year and looks to be longer than the outgoing shelby. That will defintely hurt handling. (corner turn-in and throttle tip-in when exiting a corner).
I think the next gen should focus less on sheer power and more on handling. We have had the power, just had issues getting it to the ground. Fix the handling dynamics of the car and it will be a worldclass pony. No, i'm not talking about IRS necessarily. Simple things, like more mass towards the center of the car instead of pushing it out from the center (overhangs), lower center of gravity, things like that.
