Justice----Obviously you haven't seen any white GT's in person. IMO they are pretty awesome. Easier to maintain too!!

RE: Pictures of the new Shelby GT
I can almost promise you ppl are gonna end up paying 40K for the Shelby lettering on this thing. 
And with only two colors schemes available (black w/ silver stripes and white w/ silver stripes) these things won't have much originality to them. They could have at least offered the GT-H color scheme. While they were at it, they could have done a bit more under the hood and got it up to 350hp......then gave it the GT350 designation. Guess that idea made the bean counters too nervous or something.
If this car seems like a good idea to you, stop and do all us mustang enthusiasts a favor.............PASS on the Shelby GT. Send a message to Ford that we don't need a stinkin GT with a CAI and Shelby's name at a 10-12K markup. What we want is our 400hp pony..............DAMMIT[>:]

What Shelby needs to do is go back to his mustang tuning roots. Take a GT, strip her down (yank out the sound deadening, back seats, stereo equipment, etc.), do some righteous stuff to the 3V........or stash the 5.4 in there, do a full suspension workup, rollcage install, put some racing seats in there, full exhaust, and some unique styling ques. Then offer it as an aftermarket GT350R. Then watch it eat the GT500 alive with less power.........hmm. Yea.....you're right, that would never fly with Ford. Oh well.

That was a concept for a new Shelby Cobra that was built a couple of years back. Seems that that's all Shelby Autos does nowadays..........build concepts. This one and the GR concept have both gone no where...........so far.

Yes, white looks good, but black looks better... But white is also on my list of colors I could drive around in!

I like the looks of these... wonder why they never hit production? Maybe theres no market for them.. or price? I really like that all polished aluminum body in that GR

RE: Pictures of the new Shelby GT
Thats the first time I've seen it in white. I imagine it will have a choice of standard or automatic transmission being that it isn't a rental. Like everyone has echoed we need a standard Gt with 400 horses. May I suggest a Gt with a supercharger standard. Now that would sale all day long but that's to easy for Ford to do so we have to suffer the consequences.[:@]
