Shelby just got back together with Ford, there's nothing confirmed model
wise; Except that he was already involved in the new GT (as in GT40
exotic not Mustang) but they'd have to be stupid not to put out a Shelby
variation... Especially considering the redesign for 04 has all kinds of
retro look and some retro Shelby additions would suit it perfectly.

Amazing that he is still that creative. He must be near or past 80 yrs.
old. Truly one of the American Auto industry's finest.

He's 80 I believe. The news has me all exited about the possibilities...
a new 2 seater Cobra, Shelby Mustang, he's also hinted that he's
interested in the current compact sports "tuner" cars, so a Shelby Focus
might happen (don't laugh there's already an SVT focus, and the car is
quite strong in pro Rally over in Europe).

The Rally focus is a quite different car than the SVT. All wheel drive and
300 ponies. I'd love to see one of those at the dealer.

If you're more comfortable being wrong, just so long as you're older
than me, I guess I can see your point.

How was it "obvious" that I wasn't around during the muscle car era? Are
you saying that I show my youth by being correct about the history of
Camaro's and Firebirds?

What history? I bet you've never even lifted the hood of a
327"-427" Camaro or 389"-455" Firebird. And they're displayed at least
once a month on every main street U.S.of A. Pity.
