I don't believe this is true. This is a Ford project, with Shelby being involved as a consultant, not the other way around.

Granted, I do think Carrol's actions towards the replica community in recent years has been reprehensible; but I don't see this as a similar front in that direction.

I do think this car is a fine step forward in Ford's attempt to renew excitement in it's camp; and the specs on this car can hardly be ignored, especially considering that it really isn't far off at all from being production feasible (as opposed to most concepts, even the new GT when it was first shown). It touts 605hp from the 4V V10, and weighs in at less than 3100lbs and re-uses a large number of GT parts.

Think about it, its almost 300lbs lighter than a Viper, with an additional 100hp. I say bring it, and bring it fast.

Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
