Default New Shelby Opinions

Hey everyone, I love my ISF but as its almost paid for ive been thinking about giving it an American friend What does everyone think about the 2014 Shelby Gt 500. The most BadA** Cobra ever produced. Shelby himself pasted away recently and it being the last cobra he personally had a hand in building. Great options like The SVT performance pack, Track pack and recaros. Im thinking with the facts as is about the car in the long run it will probably have some serious value (30-50 years) as all Shelby cars with these kind of stats do over time. Any opinions on the car? What do people think about it?

People know I dislike American cars BUT I was literally emailing dealers this weekend because the car is so insane, so powerful, and would give me my fix for speed at 30k less than a GTR. There are very very few American cars I would buy and this is one of them.

For the category that car is listed in, best bang for the buck IMO. I would buy one in a heart beat (given I was debt free) Also it looks more B.A. Boss than the GT and Saleen series.
