looks to be £26,500 on top of the base car  
 
Nah, they've gone like for like between USD and GBP for the pricing of the car ($32K vs £33K), so you can expect that Shelby to cost £40K on top of the base car. £73K is a LOT of money for a Ford. That or a GT-R? No contest, you're going to take the Nissan all day long. 
 
  
Is the 70k car the gt350r though ?
