STRIPPED-DOWN INTERIOR, AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY
Where the Shelby does win out is inside, where it gets a full suite of Ford features like a touch-screen navigation system with SYNC, a Shaker 1000 stereo, leather trim and less black grainy plastic. The Boss 302 is very Spartan, something we can live with, but might be off-putting to those who can actually afford this car. The optional Recaro seats deserve mention for being both comfortable and extremely supportive, and come with holes for shoulder harnesses, although using them with a non-fixed back seat seems like a poor idea. They’re a $1,995 option and come paired with a limited slip differential. That’s not a bad price, but on a vehicle like this an LSD really should be standard.
The stereo is a real piece of crap that wouldn’t be fit for a base Fiesta, and let’s be honest here – a great deal of the whole muscle car experience is blasting loud music while cruising the main drag. Would it kill Ford to put something half-decent in a car that costs more than $40,000?
