Hmmm...Overpriced , overworked "special" car for a collector somewhere.
I once had a R8 V10 620HP for a whole day on German Autobahn, came back to my 2007 Mustang GT and thought to myself, what a great car, no, not the AudiAudi R8: no longer in production.
Just be clear, I was posting kinda as my opinion to the group and certainly not contesting anything you said. I agree 100% with both your posts. And like mentioned above, it's what you want the car to do. That's where your money goes. Also I look at a car kinda like a watch. A living breathing entity of sorts with varying levels of refinement. Mustang is a mustang, even the expensive ones. I wish I could just daily a bad ass stang but it snows here. I wish I could buy one car/daily that gave me the fun of the Mustang and did snow. Those tend to be pricy!I wasn't saying any of those cars are direct competition for this Shelby, just something else someone with $200k burning a hole in their pocket could choose. They all give up HP to the Super Snake in exchange for something else.
It was more just an observation that there's nothing there that makes me want to go out and get a second job.
I agree that all of them make a normal GT with a whipple bolted on look like a bargain. I don't want one of those either but I understand why someone else might.
