I will disagree with that sort of lol. Strictly speaking on terms of MSRP the Shelby Mustangs IMO would cost them same as they do know if they were back to SVT Cobra Mustangs or whatever ford wants to call them. Where the extra bump in pricing comes from IMO is a solid chunk of those specialty parts are unique to just the Mustang. Maybe I am just dumb but I don't think Ford bumped the MSRP just because of the badge
Ford fan boys favorite dig at the Camaro is that it is nothing special because its a parts bin car. Well They have a fantastic bin to pull from and engines/transmissions/chassis shared across multiple models bring cost down. LT4 used in 3 vehicles, alpha used in 3, A10 in multiple vehicles, cooling lessons learned from C7 Z06. That's a lot of know how and trickle down and cost savings.
Now where I will agree is people (general public and greedy delaers )definitely view the shelby name as premium, same way some people view M or AMG as premium and thats why they charge ADM and idiots pay it
