OK, so it doesn't have the same roof and I'll dare to say "yet" here), and it hasn't been lowered or given the carbon-fiber updates that our fearless leader's project Shelby has received, but this stripeless, Vapor Silver GT500 definitely caught my attention when I heard it was getting one serious upgrade.

This brand-new Shelby GT500 currently is in surgery at GTR High Performance in Rancho Cucamonga, California. In addition to the badly needed lowering, the 'Stang is being set up with Kenne Bell's gigantic "Mammoth" supercharger.
