I know that price might be over what it would be to build it yourself or by a shop, but it's not worth it to spend that much on 1000hp built by Shelby...who knows though,I don't do American
I think they should throw slicks on it and take a real pic just to make us happy..
Im gonna save up for one of these and name it thundercougarfalconbird. Ford FTW!
@quinn so I was wrong I'm not afraid to admit it, but pointing it out to everybody by saying its okay to laugh at someone for being wrong, yeeeah okay that just makes you so much cooler man.
it looks like they put the front wheels on small blocks and erased them lol
The huge amount of smudge tool blur under the front passenger side wheel really gives it away. Pretty sloppy attempt there.
Considering the car isn't tilted, and the front wheels (which should seem bigger because of perspective) were just made smaller. I could so better than that
I really don't think this car would have much of a problem lifting the front up anyway, but indeed shame to whoever photoshopped this.
So hmm think about it, what would you rather see: fake something the car CAN do because they dont want to change the tires to advertise it the way it comes or fake something the car could never do? Thats where im cummin from
Yeah and shelby also didnt know about it from what they said on the previous page.. Im sure if he knew he wouldnt let this slide. Regardless, this car could easily do it with the right tires while nissan and shit like that could never do the fake
Except the Nissan commercials are blatantly obvious that they are fake and at the end of the commercial it says that it was fake. This however, was something faked, and made to appear that it was real with no intention of saying otherwise. There in lies the difference. Don't try and justify their actions. And before you go all "omg you guys are such haters maaannn" No. Just stop it with that cr...
Cuz automakers do stupid shit like that all the time so give shelby a break for faking 2 inches when the car could actually do that if they wanted it to..
All im saying is they photoshopped the front end 2 inches while nissan has a commercial of their TRUCK going down a ski slope doin stupid, way more rediculous stuff. Keep that kinda stuff in mind before you bash shelby
FORD didn't do this. An aftermarket company did. But I guess haters have to hate.
not a fan of the Stang anyway. as hyped up as the gtr, although at least it had balls
@quinn as funny as that was, that was a low blow dude, your probably going to regret that. Haha real sad that such a good company like shelby has to fake something, lost a lot of respect for them.
Automakers fake things to sell cars, but obviously, you can't sell these things, so demonstrating wheelies is....showing the cars potential. But when you fake it, you just loose credibility.
I agree with Justin. All carmakers fake things. Remember the perfect balance commercial for BMW? Everyone thought it was sooo awesome. What when an American company does it, they get called out. Doesn't surprise me.
@patrick nbd, it makes it fun to argue, as serious as I sound, I love arguing with u and some other fanboys, it brings some liveliness to carbuzz, I know a lot of people with gm products, I love the old ones, like my uncles 67', new ones are, eh ok.
What happened to that one guy who hated chevy because he claimed this one suv he owned literally was falling apart. Like touched a button and it fell into the dash or something. Anybody remember that kid?
Haha I don't hate Ford. I'll just ruffle the Ford boys feathers. It's just part of the rivalry.
Why does Patrick hate ford so much? Any way, I've been in a couple car accidents in gm products, and I just don't like them because of that, if it was a ford or Chrysler that the accidents happend with, I would probably hate them, bad luck with gm
@Zachary, you mad? You make some random a$$ comments sometimes. Why do you hate GM so much?
Me and the other people he just disowned make laugh at him, se how he feels
I'm sorry guys, I hate people like that who just think there cool go calling people who are Wrong out, sure we all favorite car brands, (I like ford, patrick Chevy, ect.) so naturally we back them, so next time Quinn gets something wrong...
People who were confused. It's ok to laugh at them. Zachery Maurer, no pistons (admits it :) ), dillian Dixon, Caleb d lanehart, Sheldon couch, drew storresten, Paul dickey, Phillip Holbrook, ray Garcia, Jared Palmer, Clint Edwards, Dan Morrison.
Who cares if its fake? Carmakers use fake photos and commercials ALL the time
Lol I was one of those guys the suspension just doesn't show it enough nor do the tires
Haha this is too funny, i was reading this yesterday and someone called it fake.. That guy has great eyes..
The rear tire doesn't even remotely look like its moving i notice it now lol
Put some bigs-n-skinny's on that thing with some tranny and rear-end development and you won't need to fake a wheel stand...
No suspension squat in the rear, no droop in the front. And there is nothing on full tread street tires that could do a wheelstand no matter how much power you put into it.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt but now looking at the front tires closely I can now see the editing, way to go Shelby for losing credibility
Hahaha.... Oh I can't wait to hear all the morons talking about power and tire thickness and Shelby's supreme suspension set ups now. Too funny
It's too obvious. The rear tires would be wrinkled if it had enough grip to lift the front end.
Hahaha yer crazy camber not I would hate to see the camber when he's on full lock hahahha
Lol I was about to make a sarcastic rage reply to that different color garage comment..
Lolz, I know right, I've never understood the mentality of like "It's fast, we simply must put stickers all over it!!1!!1!!"
AND NOW I'M LOOKING LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT FOR THAT PHOTO! Way to be.
@mikey I own a 1971 notchback mustang. It was ordered from the factory with the Mach 1 package (granted I know it's no Mach 1 if it isn't a fastback) but still, such a fun and cool car. As for Shelby America, SERIOUSLY!!! I STOOD MY GROUND FOR THAT..
What is a great company like Shelby doing lying about this. I hope they had a good reason
@sheldon I agree, that's wrong
I'm sick to my stomach, Shelby really had to lie and then post a photo shop picture of that nature? Shame on Shelby surprised Shelby doesn't smack someone himself
Yeah fordfan probably did, their has been multiple GTR articles that he hasnt commented on. Annoyed the hell out of me but it was fun to prove him wrong! haha
Egg on your face much..?
good question, I loved Ford fan and his antics. helped me hate on the gtr.
@mikey, ya bro, me to, my favorite mustang of all time, I have a 200.00 1:18 model of it in my room :)
I hope he did but wish he would comment on this so he could get owned some more
Anyone know if ford fan got banned? Feel like i havent seen him commenting lately
Duh!!!! Its hilarious how many people were like this is real! Lmao what else did ford fake? That their cars get 30 mpg+? That their mustangs from the gt500 had 500 hp. Oh wait. Top gear figured that one out themselves. Haha
haha what the hell?! Why would shelby lie about a car that has so much going for it, so stupid. Just makes you think why they did that, kind of shady...
*Grabber green best combo! O and did I forget the GT40 and GT43.
I'm really disappointed in Shelby...
1971 Mustang boss 351 Mach 1 has to be by far my favorite Mustang!
One of my favorite cars now is the 1965 Lincoln Continental. I hope I can get my hands on one some day and restore it.
What's funny about it is that most of the Fords I like are actually Mustangs. I won't ever say no to a GT500, Mach 1, Boss, Bullitt, Saleen, Rousche, or Cobra. But I also like the Lightning, Raptor, SVT Focus, Falcon, Thunderbolt, and some T-Birds.
@Patrick i respec that alot. Too many people will continually hate a company because its a rival to the one they like, which is plain dumb
@brad, idk if you have seen me and Patrick before, I'm talking about prior arguments
A real car likes everything it's annoying how everyone just argues about dumb crap on these sites just enjoy the car news even if it's something like this I like everything just get alot with people ya miserable fu***
Actually Zach there's tons of Fords I like. The 03-04 Cobra is one of my favorites cars ever produced.
Zach, he just said that it COULD do it with slicks. How is that dissing the car? You saw his name and just went at it.
Haha where the ford fan boys now?
Patrick doesn't like any ford product beside the gt, so naturally he will hate, no matter what, and I hate Chevy, do I naturally hate, ad u can see, me and patrick normally argue
Where there's smoke.. There's that guy who did it being fired
There are many cars with that much horsepower that can't pull up the front tires at a drag strip launch, so how do we know that the Shelby can? The gearing might not be enough to get the front end off the ground. Maybe the shocks won't squat enough to transfer the weight and get the front tires off the ground (rather likely I'm guessing, I bet it was set up towards handling instead of launches). M...
Those mother fakers!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This is so hilarious. Even though this thing could easily do it with some slicks. Why would they even fake it? Tisk tisk Shelby.
