Shelby American announced today a Try Before You Buy program that allows enthusiasts – for $2,500 – to have track time behind the wheel of the current lineup of vehicles. The $2,500 “experience fee” is applied to the cost of any Shelby vehicle at time of purchase.
The first track event will be held on 9 May 2015, at the Spring Mountain Motor Resort & Country Club in Pahrump, Nevada. Track vehicles will include a base model 2015 Ford Mustang GT, 627 horsepower 2015 Shelby GT and the 2014 Shelby GT500. Subsequent events are set for June 2015 and early fall 2015.
“Once you climb into the cockpit of a Shelby, you’re hooked,” said Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American.
Small Groups Only
Track day is limited to 20 guests who will receive personal instruction, including time behind the wheel with factory drivers Gary Patterson and Vince LaViolette. Each guest will have the opportunity to drive each of the vehicles.
Guests get a bag with a Shelby polo shirt, backpack, a GoPro camera to capture the excitement of the track, catered lunch and refreshments during the day. Each event will run from 9 am to 4 pm and include a rotation of each vehicle among drivers.
