Default 2011 Shelby GT350: One Pudgy New Mustang
by admin 01-19-2010, 11:46 AM



It may seem like sacrilege to ask this but, does the Shelby name mean anything anymore? The 2011 GT350 seems like a 'Stang with a supercharger and a chubby body kit. Considering the upgrade's $34K asking price, color us unexcited.

We'd normally lay down rose petals ahead of Carroll Shelby's storied boots any day of the week, but this latest "special" edition 500 HP Mustang isn't exactly lighting our pants on fire, especially considering the price. At $33,995 for the upgrade, the GT350 45th's anniversary car is a helluva lot of cheese to ask for a body kit, wheels, a supercharger, Baer brakes, a Borla exhaust and Ford Racing suspension bits. The stock Mustang ain't no joke in it's own right so charging double the price for some extra doo-dads is an awfully tall order.

that back end is...to say the least, pure sex.

but 34gs + the price of your car is steep.

I don't think people realize the 34 doesn't include the price of the car. or does it? correct me if im wrong

you are correct, does not include the car, or additional option package. You must order the car from Ford and have it sent to Vegas

I like everything on it, but there is surprisingly little going on with the front and rear bumpers. There's a lot of just plain old flat space with undersized holes and center exhaust makes me want to bang my head against a wall. What were they thinking when thought center exhaust was a good idea. Not to challenge Carroll, but c'mon. There's no serious mustang history with center exhaust. I'd rather get the GT500.
