I'll be honest with you, it didn't impress me all that much. First off, the Shelby hood scoop looks real tacky. In fact, Ford's own hood scoop on their GT appearance package looks 200% better. And then, there's the front grille, which is nothing more than an overlay clamped over the stock honeycomb grille. Compared to the '08 Shelby GT500's complete grille (also at my dealer's showroom), the '07's setup looked real cheapy. Your car may indeed hold its value better than a regular GT, not because of its looks or performance, but only because of the Shelby nameplate. I’ve seen the ‘07 Shelby GT upclose at my local dealer.

Just imagine what these 'jumps' in design can do for the rest of mass produced vehicles in the coming years! Thanks for such a detailed take of 'how it works'!

Racing doesn't mean weaving in and out of traffic on a busy highway like ricers do, racing can be just you and one other car on a completely open parkway at 1 in the morning or something and u both race from 30-90 or something. That warrants losing ur car? so you can speed doing 90 and get like a $300-$500 ticket, but if u and another car are both speeding next to eachother then u can lose a 25-30 thousand dollar car? that's bs. Unless that guy and the other "Racer" were driving like retards in a side street or something I can't see why you'd get ur car confiscated. I own a 99 z28 and I'm not going to go 40 miles to a track everytime I want to put the pedal to a floor for a couple of runs. I hope these police use good judgement with this type of stuff.

I wish I could own a car as sick as a 03-04 cobra but there still too expensive. I can't imagine buying a car like that only to have police confiscate it. I'd rather get a huge fine than lose a $25,000 car $$ used in mods. wow that is so f’ed up haha. I wish I could own a car as sick as a 03-04 cobra but there still too expensive.

I would love to see a video of this. just add some equal length manifolds and f.i. and put two industrial size turbos on it(youll need it to make it rev past 3000, you know, to 3500 or 4000), then lemme drive it so i can die happily of a heart attack wow. looks like hes got great f/r weight distribution what with all that massive motor behind the front suspension. lol. whats the weight on that anyway, atleast how much more or less than a iron block 460 v8 is it?
