[QUOTE="Uncle Rusty, post: 15238522, member: 167811"] You'll get a hell of a lot better performance out of say a VMP TVS kit compared to the Shelby. Your car already weighs 200lbs less, and you should be able to safely make 600+whp on Stock internals which should keep you close or matching the performance of the 13/14 Shelby's. Since you have an automatic, you'll never have to worry about blowing the transmission up because the 6R80 is a beast and can safely handle up to 1000HP. If you go that route don't forget to upgrade suspension/control arms to put the power down, don't skimp out on the heat exchanger, and make sure you have decent rubber. May want to consider getting a higher stall converter if you want to launch harder or like to take the car to the strip. The Shelby's certainly do look cool, but to me it's just not a huge visual difference...slightly different bumpers and badges, and a slightly nicer interior but it's certainly not night and day or anything.
