I think that Ford has still retained the rights to use the " Shelby " name, but will launch
the 2015 SVT COBRA edition without old Carroll's name. Just my thoughts

+1 on that. That is why two New Edge Cars reside in my garage. To me it was the height of the brand.SVT>Shelby all day.
SVT is just cooler, I miss the days of sleeper Mustangs.
When the terminators and new edge cobras and Foxbody Cobras blended in with regular Mustang GTs.
No gay racing stripes and flashy crap, just sleek fascias and cobra/svt emblems.
I really miss 97-2004 era

I would love the return of the SVT COBRA name plate myself also. I respect the heritage of Shelby automobiles . . But the SVT BRAND has been disrespected by many magazine etc by saying the SHELBY GT500 is produced by SHELBY . Even Randy Pobst stated in his Lightning Lap GT500 test . . I quote “THANK YOU MR. SHELBY.“ . In the comparison test between the Hennessey HPE 550 vs Shelby GT500 vs Dodge Challenger SRT8 , the commentator gave the misinformation that SHELBY removes the standard mustang gt’s 4.6 and replaces it with a 5.4 L supercharged engine. Mr. Coletti would have made it known that SVVT MAKES THE GT500 if he was the lead engineer in my opinion.
This, Being 16 at the time of the New Edge stangs, I think they'll always be my favorite stylistically. I know I'm probably more in the minority here, but I was real disappointed they went retro in 05. I wanted to see the evolution of the New Edge with a better chassis under it. Instead, cars got bigger and the styling was sent back 40 years.
they already said they are dropping the shelby name since he passed
