    The idea behind this car just seems kind of corny to me.
    Nonetheless i like the idea of new colors being offered.
    I would just like to attend barrett jackson without constantly being told how much of an "american icon" that company is.
    Best Regards,
    Vern

    Thats how I feel, a NEW color Combo to choose from. The Shelby GT should come in More Colors with more Stripe Color options. BUT MAN, I wish they would make a Hood with the Scoop Molded in like the '65-'66 Shelby Mustangs (instead of riviting one on like they did the Cobra).

    I agree 100% on the hood thing. I know it is supposed to be a tribute to the Cobra, but this is a Mustang. Why not have a hood that is a tribute to a Mustang based Shelby?
