It has all the luxury items that prople think they need like rear DVD's etc. but statistics show that the vast majority of the time people drive alone or with one passenger (even if you have kids, you're probably not going to tote them around in a 550 HP SUV). I'm sure it's pretty fast but nowhere near an average sports car, or even some sporty cars, for that matter. Don't get me started on the handling. Anyway, I just think it's a little sad that Shelby is giving his name and expertise to a project like this.

You'd be shocked at how fast even an SUV or truck can move with that kind of power.
The Ford Lightning for example in a straight line at least will beat the pants off of most things on the road bone stock. And when lightly modded they are well capable of taking down Corvettes.
That being said I don't think Shelby had much to do with this. Looks like another case of I'll sell you my name and you can slap it on a bunch on nonesense.
They should have been spending the time and money on a Shelby Mustang. I want a GT350 so bad I can taste it.
