| S204 Racer | Re: 2008 STi vs Ford Mustang Shelby GT... Such different cars with different intentions. I like them both, but I'd not pay the premium to have the name "Shelby", I'd just get a regular GT and slap on the body kit (without the name, of course). Really, it's not all that fair a comparison in other ways, too. The only reason the Shelby costs almost $40K is because it says Shelby on it. And the only resaon the STI costs the same is because it had the nav system and fancy wheels. Performance wise the Shelby is mostly just a Mustang GT, which is $25K ... $10K less than a base STI. Even so, I do enjoy comparisons that say things like: Quote:

Join Date: Jun 2004 Trader Rating: (1) | Re: 2008 STi vs Ford Mustang Shelby GT... There is nothing lamer than a fake hood scoop. Of course, Mustangs have featured them for years. The hypocrisy of false aerodynamic elements that serve only to create drag.....inexcusable. I shouldn't complain - their inclusion contributes heavily to the Mustang sucking which is a good thing - because I HATE Mustangs. This ad is not endorsed by this member.
