New Shelby F-150. $20,000 more than a FS/CB and completely pointless!

We already know the value of our Cybertrucks (even if most people don’t get it). But this thing right here, is preposterous! You know, I got to meet and hang out with Caroll Shelby more than a few times (via a mutual friend) and there’s no way he would have approved of this thing. They say this is the 10th anniversary of them making this, he died in 2012 there is a correlation! 🫤

They don’t even bother to give you the 0 to 60! 810hp and I bet it couldn’t even keep up with an AWD/let alone a CB off the line. AND it’ll cost a fortune to fuel and maintain this thing. Who’s buying this?

Our trucks are not perfect but they are egregiously underrated even at $120,000 and this just proves it better than anything else I can think of. Today you could get a CB for $40,000 plus less than this! If you’re just a petrol-head, a speed junkie or a huge Shelby fan you would just buy a Cobra, Mustang or any of the other varietals of Shelby creations, right?

So, who’s buying this? AND who’s responsible for telling them that they just should’ve bought a Cybertruck and making sure that they get my referral code?

Well, they DO sound better.

But, if it were me, a Raptor would be better.

They’re pretty cool. The cybertruck isn’t for everyone. To each their own.

To each his own I guess.. To be honest I find plain CT's with Core Wheels and covers super ugly.

I'll stick with the truck that can power my house and drive itself.

The choice to purchase any Shelby is not about money/price, it will sell simply because it's a Shelby. There will only be 600 sold in the US, we might see a few on the road or at a car show.

I definitely know it’s not about money. But buying a Shelby is about going fast, isn’t it? That’s why I don’t think Caroll would approve of this. I don’t think this thing really does that. I know it doesn’t do it better than my beast.

Other options…

Just thinking about the cost to run that thing over 5-10yrs.
