Whoa, I never said the GT350 looks good, I just said it's more worthy of the shelby name since it's not just a small package added on to a regular mustang.
Anyone seen the 2010+ up close on the trunk? I ******* hate that it looks like it was rear ended right there. The trunk area between the tail lights is bent outward at the edges and just looks like something that would belong on a poorly made kit car.
Only thing I feel ok about on the new model is the engine, and the front end is about equal to me in looks with my 06's front end. But the rear is just plain ugly as all hell as well as how the damn body isn't even painted on the side skirts and ****. Used to be only the base model mustangs were left with unpainted side skirts, but now even the top GT has that nasty looking ****. It's supposed to be so it looks 'smaller' since it's supposed to pass visually like that's not there, but it just looks cheap and incomplete IMO.
I wanted to trade my GT in or sell it outright and get a 5.0, but I'm not doing it cause that rear end is just the ugliest thing anyone has ever created next to the pontiac Aztek. That and the 370z look like dogs dragging their asses on the floor.

Oddy enough, Shelby seems to have removed there info on the GT 350. They used to list it. A protracted Google search turned up that they sold it from 2005-2008, cost $2200 and was a claimed 20hp more (mostly due to different hood and catback).

Same with the mustang and same with my 05 and 06 gto. Like i look at the prices now and mine was still an amazing deal when compared to ones for sale today, lots of cars were going for great prices because as you said dealerships were just trying to move them.

Unfortunately it's all looks...no functionality. And to be honest with you, I had no clue what a shelby GT was when I bought mine, just didn't want to be another guy with a plain old GT haha, so I bought it because it seemed like a "stand out" package. Now I know a ton about them.

How great is this: mustang guys calling out each other on a GM board? 
Tear his cobra a new exhaust opening! Snake95: you gonna take that from a vinyl warrior driving a wannabe Shelby?! lol

Your buddy would take me from a roll. The reason his 1/4 time is close is because his 60ft was probably not great, but trapping 3 mph more than my car means that he'd pull me up top most likely. This of course is all true if the elevation of the track he was at is close to the one I ran at!
