Because to me all it seemed to be was an appearance package with a ten horsepower bump in power. Am I wrong or did I basically just sum up the Shelby GT (AKA the Hertz car or this generation with a manual transmission)

No more special than any other limited run trim (ie Bullitt) of pretty much any Mustang.

Yeah but a Shelby is usually supposed to mean something

It had a special suspension package as well. Talking to Shelby guys, they are thinking they are gonna go up in value because they actually went to Shelby american and have a CSM number and are just kinda few and far between.

The CSM number is special but even with the suspension mods I feel like the GT was kinda half assed. I still like it but I always thought they could do a little more
