good find, but on the back of that generic tow truck, uncovered??

Iit looks more like someone ELSE saw the pics of the cobra and tarted their car up accordingly to look like it.

Are those style of wheels even out yet? It has a few unique features that I have not seen available yet. The rear valance underneath bumber and the Cobra badge looks to be a little bigger than in years past. why would they need to hide it? Everyone in the automotive world has already seen the car. I am not saying I know for a fact that it;s a prototype but it looks pretty darn close

you are smoking crack. Sure beats the Camaro/Firebird GM is building for us right now.

Those aren't really "spy photos", since the car has already been revealed and tested by just about every magazine.

I find it shocking that Ford would move a car like that on a flatbed, but who knows.

Well it will be cool to have mid 12 second car out like that for $50K.

They are being driven/trailered uncovered cause they have been already shown at dealerships and have to press shows. Many seen the one at a Indiana dealership then many photo's were taken of it on the trip back home.

Default Fake!

Sorry, but that's not a real Shelby! That's just a 2005 Mustang that has been modified to look like a Shelby! Shelby replicas are already out on the street.

The shelby's are out and about too for testing. I work on four or five a day. They have been taking them to dealers for show and tell.

Who the hell would take that over a Corvette. That's dumb. I've always respected the performance of the Cobra 03 up, but why wouldn't you get a corvette instead. It sucks to have a car that some crap V6 mustang LX model some kid has can look exactly like your car. Sucks for ford. They just throw in a bigger motor or slap on a supercharger, I don't care what you say, I hate it.
