The vents, if functional look pretty good to me, but the stripes still don't cut it. We need painted on full stripes.

It's a Mustang Cobra.

Exactly. Except for the fact that Ford named it the Shelby Cobra GT500, it's not a Shelby Cobra. Ask anyone, Hau Thai Tang, Phil Martens, Bill Ford, Carroll Shelby...they all know. Even though they want you to think they think it's a Shelby Cobra GT500, it's really not, and they know it.
It doesn't say Cobra anywhere either btw... So I guess that just makes it a GT500, which it does say. But only if you order the stripes. In which case, if you don't, it becomes a Ford Mobil 1(assuming the oil cap says Mobil 1).
And nothing helps to bolster a company's image more than an eye-catching, high-performance vehicle, according to Jim Hall, vice president of Industry Analysis for Auto Pacific.
"Every Mustang that goes down the road is an advertisement for Ford," he said. "It's hard not to see a new Mustang in traffic. And the Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 is going to be that on steroids."

I don't understand, it's not a Shelby? The Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) is including this car in the Shelby American World Registry.DBK said:

I was being sarcastic to rocknrod. It is a Shelby, regardless of what word appears where on the car..
You Optimist You
I totally agree! If they are functional a lot of hot engine air will be able to escape...Again..no fake stuff...just functional is all I want. I too can do without the stripes. :beer:

Oops, sorry DBK, my bad, I accidentally quoted you when I meant to quote rocknrod.DBK said:
So rocknrod, it's not a Shelby? http://www.saac.com/2007_GT500.htmrocknrod said:
I am really not worried about the badging not being present right now because it's an early adoption of the production car. Truly, ask yourselves if there has ever been a car made from 80's on that was named something that didnt have it's name on the car. If they call this car the Shelby GT500, it will say Shelby somewhere....

You are absolutely right about that! I liked the hood on the prototype cobra better. or they could have slapped a cobra sticker on that orange gt race car they have.

Nope!
Your being dupped.
Somebody posts a picture of Carrol Shelby standing next to a prototype.
If it doesnt say Shelby on the car, it isnt a Shelby.
So far, what I see from SVT is a Cobra Mustang.

Sorry, but that's really stupid. If Bill Ford asks you how you like your Shelby Cobra GT500, you're gonna say "I don't know because this ain't one. It's a Cobra Mustang Bill, you're mistaken, and the title and insurance are mistaken."
Someone is stupid. Blindly stupid....... :rollseyes
rocknrod said:
Yeah, because I call the car what the company calls the car. How dumb. Man, all these media releases from Ford need to stop listening to the employees and start listening to rocknrod about what the car is named.
Notice you have no response but name calling. Probably because there is no logical reasoning that could lead someone to dispute the name given to a car by it's manufacturer...
Show me where the yellow car says Shelby on it?
If the actual car comes out with the Shelby name on it, I'll be happy.
If not, why don't you call it what it is ?

If it has neither, I'll call it what the manufacturer calls it, because that's what it is.
Nope !DBK said:
"Mustang Cobra"
Look at the rear gas tank cover (Mustang)
Look at the cobra emblems (Cobra)
Steering wheel (Cobra)
It's a Mustang Cobra model !
Case Closed.
rocknrod said:
So what you're saying is, it doesn't say the word Cobra anywhere on it...I agree.
And you'll call it Cobra because it has snake emblems and you want to, but what Ford calls it is irrelevant?
Not a logic you'll win many battles with. I just find it really, really weird someone would make such an effort to argue that the model name a manufacturer assigns a car is not the actual name. Oh-kee-doh-kee.
It's not me you should be upset at.DBK said:
You should be upset however.
