I guess it's a good thing the '06 ZO6 has a pretty rear end,since that is pretty much what EVERYBODY ELSE wil be lookin' at.

44k$. Damn.

Looks like it's gonna be fast, tho

But I dunno if it looks good or bad.

Looks a little like a dodge ram from the front in the pics

I'll have to see it in real life before I can say anything.

I don't know if it's a compliment or just plain funny that the ford guys are excited about this thing being able to beat GM's 8 yr old technology.

Ford sure knows how to build an ugly looking car.

I think the chances of it being equipped with a "V4" are very small. Especially since the vast majority of 4-cylinders are inline design.


Though I think VW had a V4 once upon a time?

Re: [PICS] Ford Shelby GT500 Vert

that thing is effin badass.. i love the look, the front especially.. very cool..

470-480 tq is definately respectable...

i guess that means that GM has to find a way to put the LS7 into the Camaro to outmatch it

considering the previous Cobra weighed ~400 lbs heavier than the GT.. and the new GT weighs ~3500lbs.. it doesnt surprise me that it'd weigh ~3900lbs
