What is with all the parrots here and elsewhere? Everybody agreed the interior was great for 1.5 years, now that's everybody's fav thing to hate about the car. I'm sorry but the interior is awesome compared to any comparably priced car, and in some respects is better than a Vette dash.

The interior is a bit chintzy, but the regular Mustang GT is a performance bargain, not a luxury car, so it's excusable. The issue here is that the interior is the same for the Shelby and once you're over $40k it's harder to excuse.
There a number of 300 hp luxury/near luxury cars at this price range and certainly a number of really great used cars in this range that are much nicer. One example, one of my workmates just picked up an '08 Corvette and the interior isn't bad at all... and it has 435 hp and an independent rear suspension for less than the price of this "Shelby."
I rented a Hertz Shelby GT last year. It was fun, but the "Shelby" package amounted to little more than a poorly executed body kit and a louder exhaust. The "hood pins" on the 1,500 mile example I rented were already rusting and the paint was rubbing off of the plastic hood. If it's performance you're after, buy a regular GT and put some aftermarket parts on it.

I feel like I should be playing "Rocky Top" on repeat in that thing........

$40k car with a $5.00 interior - nice. My childhood Big Wheel was made with nicer plastic... Do people buy these without a test drive or what???

I agree -- it's definitely a nice ride, and I wouldn't complain if someone gave me one. (Okay, I'd be thrilled.) $40-$65,000 though? Forget it. The orange/silver combo is hot, but at least show some effort to make the interior special, e.g., use some orange stitching on the seats, steering wheel and other interior bits. With a little spice (thanks, ansky), $35-$40,000 might start to make sense.

Theese are on the road allready I see one in the rush hr commute. (In Phx AZ) I think the orage is a bit too washed out when compared to the Camaro's hugger orange.

Holly Shiiiiit....is that their 45th model they brought out this past 2 years. I'm sick of these fake pathetic edition they bring out every other month....lets perfect the base model first then come with these numerous editions. Ford, im with you but lets make some sense and think little bit like the japanese.

The problem is that 95% of these Special Editions aren't from Ford.
I still chuckle when everyone puts the blame on Ford...

I really want to like the Mustang. I loved the initial pics of the car. Then, I saw the interior. The interior kills the car and makes it not worth $30K, let alone $60K. I don't care if it's a Shelby or not. A car with that price tag shouldn't have such an ugly interior.

"Only for the Mustang could there be a special edition of a special edition."

such a nice car to have the most bland interior ever. You might be driving a shelby but it will look like a Taurus from the drivers seat.
Give it some spice Ford, what a waste.

What's wrong with the Taurus, anksy?
Oh... the old Taurus? ... wait. :(
