Next Shelby GT500 with AWD?

[302 Hi Pro]

I found this article interesting and wondered if our new Shelby GT350 Owners found the same splined front hubs on their cars?

This was posted before and old news. Below is a photo I took last August at the Monterey Historic races. While anything is possible I'll hold my excitement on this until we have more proof it's going to happen.

I agree with one of the comments to the article that its taken from the existing parts design. Strong enough for use on FWD/AWD but on the GT350 that also translates into strong enough to handle higher braking and cornering loads. Stock hubs on many cars are not up to the task of sustained loads from track duty especially when full R compound rubber is used. Not just on big heavy cars either, spec Miata /MX5 cup teams change hubs every season after experiencing failures.
