New Shelby Concept: The GR-1
http://www.thecarconnection.com/index.asp?article=7411
I like it 
Looks really cool 
Ford confirms that the engine installed is a V-10, as in the 605-hp Cobra concept. At that concept's introduction, Ford execs said that 700 hp for the V-10 was a distinct possibility, given more Shelby-fication
Looks really cool

Nice. After Ford really did it with the Ford GT, I believe what they say from now on.

It's got a big badonka-donk ...
But, uh ... Chevy called ... they want the Corvette's profile & design cues back ...
I'd drive it

That's fast
Speaking of the Ford GT, the latest issue of Makes and Models reports the test drivers have achieved 205 mph. Isn't that quite a feat for 550 hp. The car must be awfully light.
I like the look of this new concept but looks like it will be competing against it's own family.

But I'd say it looks more like the old Daytona Coupe

I think the GT2 can do 200 w/100 less hp and a huge wing. Actually 205mph sounds somewhat conservative to me.

The rear is definitely reminiscent of the original Cobra Coupe... the front fenders remind me of the Aston Martin Vanquish.
