“One of the biggest changes for this Shelby is that the convertible acts and feels like a coupe,” said Jamal Hameedi, SVT chief nameplate engineer. “Before, they had a very different character, and the convertible is taking a big step in the sportiness and handling precision area, without degrading the ride.”
I did Jamal's Home Theater system
He has a freakin SWEET upper level penthouse in Royal Oak, Michigan.

I am going to the dark side. My 81 Z/28 will not have a Z/28 stable mate.
Sorry GM, to little to late again, I waited for the Z/28 for as long as I can. I am sure the Dealers will screw everyone over for a few years just like they did the Shelby and SS.
I just place my order for a 2011 SVT Shelby GT500. I am paying invoice price. You can hardly mod a SS with a super charger for that AND still keep your warrenty.

I'm really starting to want this car, especially with the gas tax finally gone, I hate throwing away a grand for absolutely no purpose whatsoever. I also like being able to see out of the Mustang which I can't in the Camaro. Hate to say it but maybe a mustang in my future.

Hmm, thats basically what it always was for real. The consensus of all the numbers I have seen and sights I have been to was 3,850 without the Shaker 1000 stereo. I guess Ford just rated it less conservatively this time as that's not any significant REAL weight savings......
