We can see, Yes, its sweet looking, but just show us the pictures of the car outside. If there is one thing i hate more then photoshop backgrounds, its shitty photoshop backgrounds, These pictures cover both bases. Forget about the back ground, show the pictures on the street!!
Holy WallClimb Batman!!

Shelby needs to replace everyone in their coach design department.
The airdam looks EXACTLY like the cheap aftermarket tuner airdams that high school kids were buying for their Acura Integras and Honda Civics in the mid to late 1990s. The headlights look like they were stolen from the Lexus IS250. The large, rounded shiny black side scoop couldn't be any less attractive and doesn't fit with the overall design, and what's with that black strip on the hood that looks like a plastic stick-on accessory?
The car has excellent mechanical design -beautiful, if you will, through the philosophy of form-follows-function. The incredible one-piece billet engine; the aero-brake; and the performance . . . incredible! Yes, the potential is there. The potential to woo the masses. The potential to put posters on the bedroom walls of millions of boys. The potential to make Shelby one of the major names that comes to mind when one hears the word supercar. The potential to become an iconic iteration of what a supercar actually is, just as say, Ferrari, or Lamborghini, or McLaren has done.
Sadly, this is another example of a car with incredible potential that just won't sell. There are plenty of cars that have excellent aerodynamics or integral downforce-generating design features that are beautiful. Just because it passed wind tunnel testing doesn't mean it has to look the way it does. Nobody that can afford a car like this would buy a car that looks this cheap.

Back off, haters! Yes, it's not the most original design (Lamborghini Diablo,anyone), but it's a classic supercar shape. I think it looks menacing, purposeful, and reassuringly expensive, not cheap or plasticky.
I think it's much more attractive than the fat, bloated Veyron or the needle-nosed Enzo, for example.
Things I Hate:
2009 F1 cars, Bernie, Max, religion, trolls, BBQ sauce, ignorance, Ferrari Enzo, ricers, any car that weighs more than 2 tons (except the Bugatti Veryon), airplane food, English class art projects, death metal, server crashes, license restrictions, immaturity, prep schools, cold weather unaccompanied by snow, girls named "Shaniqua" and boys named "Deontre", racists, sexists, xenophobes, optimists, pessimists, rude moderators, gay bashers, bible bashers, Jew bashers, Christmas events/sales before Thanksgiving, flatulence, pennance, Hebew school, divorce, Detroit, haters, h4xxorz, pr0n, indies whores, hicks, hibillys, right-wingers, conservatives, watchdogs, hot dogs, lap dogs, prostitutes, Michael Vick, bad splrz, 1337spkrz, dead batteries, baby stabbers, bird flu, Communists, Masochists, Facists, Hitler's dirty sanchez, zeppellins, lead paint, lead gas, expensive gas, gas siphoners, spammers, whiners, #%!@es, snitches, bad signatures, contains, anything burnt (except rubber), FWD, iDrive, stupid traction/stability control accronyms, frozen cooling system sensors, non-diet soda, seltzer water, energy drinks, caffine, CAFE standards, smog, overpopulation, parasites, UFOs and anyone who claims to have seen one, asteroids, asterisk misusage/abusage, Rick Rolling, people who say "Joo" tube (it's owned by Christians), hunters (guns = cheating, hunt with spears), bees, global warming, political ads, car ads (not VW ads), crossovers, etc.
