Earlier this year, Shelby announced it would <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/04/report-carroll-shelby-done-with-building-cars-wants-to-sell-mo/">focus less on building complete cars and more on selling parts</a>, and that transition began when the company brought much of its manufacturing in-house and created a new speed shop to customize <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang">Mustangs</a> at its Las Vegas facility. <br />
<br />
Looking to the future, Shelby has now posted a query online asking its customers what they want to see from the company, and in the process it's proposed four Mustang aftermarket packages ranging from a V6 model to a twin-turbo <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/shelby+gt500">Shelby GT500</a>. <br />
<br />
While probably the least likely to appeal to the everyday <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang">Mustang</a> enthusiast because of its cost ($100,000 not including the car), the twin-turbo <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/shelby+gt500">GT500</a> obviously caught our attention. The concept, codenamed 2010-04a, would be based off the 2007-2009 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/shelby+gt500">GT500</a> and would feature a twin-turbo system with variable boost good for 1000+ horsepower at the rear wheels in addition to an adjustable suspension, widebody kit, 10-point roll cage and more. <br />
<br />
On the other end of the spectrum, Shelby is considering offering a package for 2010+ V6 models carrying the Shelby GTS moniker. This seems more likely to make it to production, especially since Shelby has already produced a working prototype. The GTS would feature various visual and performance upgrades and the package would retail for somewhere between $9,000 to $12,000. Finally, the last two concepts are based on the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang">2011 Mustang GT</a> and would feature the same styling upgrades as the V6 version. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/07/new-shelby-models-could-include-v6-twin-turbo-gt500/#continued">Follow the jump</a> for a full list of proposed features for both the twin-turbo <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/shelby+gt500">GT500</a> and the GTS model, and let us know which packages you think Shelby should offer.<br />
