sounds like they may be putting effort into a later version, but didn't do much for this one....

if they do release a 300+ hp version, that would be cool, but at what cost?

At what cost? Way more than a mustang or taurus sho with more power than the shelby st could ever put out.
There's a point when a specialty model no longer has a target or a viable market. When your talking a focus near or above 40k it not only loses those markets but puts itself in its own insurance class since insurers aren't going to want to foot the bill of a high cost replacement.
I can see a few collectors maybe buying, but thats it. They just need to kill this thing with fire now...

Exactly! I'm not spending Boss money on a Focus. For a $10K premium with a decent power bump, maybe. Big maybe.

Still, I don't understand why nobody has complained that shelby(yes, they deserve lowercase only) copied Bojix.

At least one person is smart enough to see

Conclusion: Bojix > Shelby

Couldn't even pull off a good copy

The lip and skirts are the best part of the Bojix kit. Everyone at SEMA had the vented hood.

I just noticed... they sourced the vents from the mustang, or are my eyes decieving me?

Deception. Mustang has 6 or 7 louvers. Similar profile though....

RS had the vents first.

actually longer and a bit wider and 7. guess it was the small hood that gave the illusion

Did Shelby do a good job?

Why are the no images showing the dash?

IMO Shelby using the ST1 spec along with seemingly overpriced upgrade amount, makes me have zero interest
