GT500 Vert is out in the open...

Just posting FYI...
Nothing revolutionary about a 475hp convertible.

I love that interior for a vert! The only problem is I love it with a yellow exterior Regardless, I love the all black interior.

Just think what Ford could be if they were half as genius with the rest of their product line as they are with the Mustang?

You take a look at the Mustang, then you take a look at a Taurus... HMMMMMMMM

Why do they have a fugly old man in their PR pics? Why didn't they put that hot blonde from the ferrari video in there? Or, at least, a younger guy?

Re: GT500 Vert is out in the open...

My question is, how much involvement did that fugly old man have in the creation of the new Cobra? It does have his name on the side of the car and all. Was he deeply involved, or is it just a marketing gimmick?

I have heard that Mr. Shelby "consulted", but didn't have much of a day-to-day impact. Hearsay though I guess...

Yes, that's right, I didn't recognize Caroll Shelby's face.

I don't care. He likes Mustangs, and I don't. And he's still fugly.

Of course hes fugly. He is like a billion years old. Seriously though, if he really had little to do with the new Cobra, it really irks me that his name is on the side of the car, regardless of how legendary he is.

He may like Mustangs, but without him there is a good chance you (or anyone else here) wouldn't be on this board. Give respect where respect is due grasshopper.
