Unfortunately, I had a feeling the people at Shelby would do something ridiculous to celebrate 50 years of the Shelby Cobra name.. and they did, by releasing the limited edition Shelby 1000. It’s got 950 bhp. In a Mustang. Now that is what I call a disaster. Only 50 will be made, so it’ll be exclusive, and around 200,000 dollars each. But I think it’s a big, big mistake. I was hoping that for the 50th anniversary, they’d make a special edition Shelby that actually focused on HANDLING, not just power, because that was always their weak spot. And it seems they’ll continue to ignore that, although they did fiddle around a bit with the suspension. Power, they’ve been able to do quite well. I expect that the Shelby 1000 (which should really be called the 950) will be blindingly fast in a straight line, and yet continue to disappoint, in typical Shelby fashion, on the track. Oh well. At least it’ll look and sound good.
