[QUOTE="Lemers, post: 14535210, member: 135110"] Should it be an SVT, a cobra, a Shelby? 1. The Shelby name does not make the car cost more. Cars are designed to a price point. In the last GT500 it was a starting price of $55k (if it had Shelby on it or not) 2. The name does not change what the car is. If the last GT500 was called a Cobra it would have been the same. 3. The Shelby name is more recognized than SVT. Not gonna say the same about cobra though. Also what sounds better "I have a Shelby or Cobra" or "I have a ZL1 or Z28"? Enthusiasts know what you're talking about with the Camaros, but anyone who's watched Gone in 60 seconds knows what a Shelby is. 4. Any costs of using the name is speed across the advertising costs of all mustangs not the few thousand GT500s that are made every year. 5. The Halo mustang is in itself an advertisement for the mustang brand. It get magazines writing, movie cameos, and people talking about it. I like the Shelby name because I connects the car to history and a cobra is an AC Cobra to me. [/QUOTE]
