Up for sale in our Tampa showroom is the car that has been at war with Corvette since its concept back in 1962, the 2012 Shelby GT500\\. Built off the Mustang platform, then redesigned by Shelby American in Las Vegas, Nevada, The Shelby has done an excellent job of making a name for itself throughout the years.

Backed up to a 6-speed manual transmission that encompasses some of the finest quality alloys that allow for some of the smoothest shifting and ludicrous speeds you could imagine. The interior is a very high end Leather sport bucket seating from Recaro, which built its name off creating some of the finest racing seats money can buy. The dashboard was designed to not let you forget you were driving a Mustang, but to adorn several Cobra emblems to remind you what is lurking under the hood as well. With real-time diagnostic software built into the dashboard as well, which gives you the most up to date information about the engine you could require. The paint is a very beautiful factory black, which shows off just the right amount of flash, mixed with a healthy dose of aggression to make this Shelby one mean street machine.
