The 2006 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500 is another example of what's working with domestic car companies. Designers of the new Shelby Cobra GT500 have constructed a standout product that is obviously desirable but lacking representation in the market place. And, unlike GM, which has an odd habit of creating and pushing high-powered versions of cars that don't sell, the new Shelby Cobra GT500 is based on a vehicle that consumers want so much that they're willing to wait for it and pay sticker price or more.

Which goes to prove – American muscle lives!
