that is where you're wrong. They're putting them into production for the public. Theyre just gonna be called the Shelby GT. And instead of gold stripes they're gonna be silver.

most are fine, however, a rear drive pony car is rented for one reason and one reason only: abuse.

i know that, but it still isn't a shelby gt-h. because of their limited production, these cars will be worth their weight in gold down the line. same can't be said for the run of the mill shelby gt's that are going to be turned out by ford. ofcourse your going to have to make sure to fix any renter abuse when you get your hands on one, but still a worthwhile investment.

I used to work for Budget. Insurance is needed. You don't always get a fully functioning car. When it was inspecting at first it may have worked fine, but the service/drivers aren't always the best. I was one of them in my younger/wilder days.
