Carroll Shelby is a greedy bastard

[White5.0]

roughly $20,000 for a replacement KR hood. yes, a freaking hood.

Now i can understand how they want the exclusivity but DAMN.

Ford needs to drop the stupid ass shelby name and just go back to the good old SVT cobra. That way, the cobras will be more affordable and replacement parts will be hundreds of dollars, not thousands.

Man this kinda thing makes me miss years like 2003 with the SVT Cobra, SVT Lightning, and Mach 1..

I'm sorry I don't mean to be a smart a$$ but I'm so sick of hearing this story.

[Shorty429]

That's just unreal.

[u1arunit]

yep he is a real asshole

[RUTHLESS]

The funny thing is that I singed my car and it depreciated 20K. Whats the deal with that!

hearing it?....i honestly havent heard it until today just looking around on that website. if its a repost sorry i didnt see it on here before.

I know you have a GT500 but this is in no way me saying bad things about people who own shelbys. I like the cars a lot but please don't even act like this is not ridiculous just cause you have one

[MBH]

lol that's more than a gen II viper hood

[97LaserRed]

imma slap one on my v6......

[scorpio333]

But the $80K for buying the car is completely reasonable? I was at Shelby and saw these cars and wondered why no hoods on them in the lot. They are bad ass but you can probably build 2 for that price yourself.

I like the comment about buying one, stripping it and putting V6 parts on it as a sleeper.

No... I agree with you don't get me wrong!

I'll take it a step further. Have you ever looked at a KR, SGT, 40th or SS's fit and finish? I'm glad my car is a SVT with Shelby's name stuck on it.

[street591]

So I wonder if I bought a KR and completely stripped it down to sell everything on it if I could get a free motor?

[jaa55]

that sounds like a plan

no i've never actually checked one out real good in person, but if i bought one and wasn't happy with the fit and finish i would be upset cause they are pricey


all im sayin is if it's that expensive for a hood, it better come with free guaranteed pus*y for a year from a playmate or something lol

dude if you are talking about the 2009 KR if you look close the blue stripes.. not even painted on. i cant quite understand it.

[97LaserRed]

Lmao free ***** for a year. Sum free F boxes!

[mr4teth]

Here I found a cheap option to replace a busted up KR hood

[AdamantiumSilvr]

totally rediculous!! Dang!

That's just unreal.

[frankstang]

A $19,000 hood marked down to $9000 ? Yeah it's carbon fiber, and yeah it's off an exclusive car, but c'mon.

And $650 for hoodpins ?

I have a lot of respect for Carrol Shelby, but he/his company is entering into the world of the rich and ridiculous.

Kinda reminds me of the Arab sheik who sends his exotic cars back to the factory for oil changes at a cost of 10's of thousands of dollars.

[MBH]

lmao I googled shelby kr hood.... first link "Shelby KR Hood on my 2005 Mustang V6?" hahahahahaha up yours Carroll!

cheap option: $399 http://cruizinconceptswholesale.com/...IRHOOD&cat=160
