I know, I just wanted to answer that Ganon's question.

Not a huge car nut like a lot of posters around here... but is there a single Shelby car that isn't at least cool?

Darn it Tornado! That was another car I was trying to forget about and then you had to bring it up.
 
I think this is a neat car, and is one that any car enthusiast would respect if they see, and a regular person would just see it as a cool old Mustang. The GT350 would be subzero, but this only gets a cool, albeit a very high cool.

I like that Focus :cool:

I wouldn't hit you for liking a not so popular car, I actually like the Focus aswell. Of course, I'm kinda crazy about the Ford Focus in general.
 
I like the Shelby Dakota....
 
Cool.

I prefer the camaro over it though

That was it beyond a aftermarket steering wheel LOL it was the '70s after all.

American car, so seriously uncool.

And just like I took issue with the "V8 is best talk" in the other cool thread, here we are again. More baseless trolling logic to make a decision in the cool thread. No surprises here.

The car that took Shelby from racing to marketing. Still cool, but it sure as hell is not cool like a GT350R or Cobra.

Small blocks hitting 8,000rpm+ ftw.

Altough awesome video, your comparison is moot. There were GT3350 street cars, and there were GT500 race cars. Comparing a street car against a race car is absolutely off.

No, my point is not mute. This is a subjective comparison, and I'm merely comparing a Shelby I think is "sub-zero" (GT350R) to one that barely gimps out of "meh" because the GT500 was the point at which Shelby become more concerned with image and marketing [and money] than racing. Also, I'm not really aware of any serious competition history of the GT500, I have always perceived it as purely a street car.
 
Any Mustang (sans the Pinto chassis ones) will get the instant freezing freshness from me.

Yes. Just so much yes.

GT500 intended usage and sound:
*snip - driving on the street

GT350 intended usage and sound:
*snip - racing on a track

This. So much this. I'd rather have a GT350 any day. Just like I'd rather have a first-generation Camaro Z/28 instead of an SS, or an AAR 'Cuda instead of a Hemi (thank you GT6!).

I'd love just one of them to buy a Mercury Cougar instead, but noooooo.

Yes. A kid I went to high school with drove a Grabber Blue '68 Cougar. I would have taken that car over a Mustang any day.
 
I immediately thought of that guy when he posted :lol:

When I said "Just look at it. Sub zero." I was referring to the '67 Shelby GT500. What did you think I meant. A Shelby is generally cool provided it is not some piece of crap with a Shelby badge stuck on it with traditional Shelby garnish.
