No red?

 The car will be available in Fighter Jet Gray—exclusive to the Mach 1, Ford says—as well as seven other shades: silver, black, white, blue, and red, plus Twister Orange and Grabber Yellow.

Just a matter of time before the bean counters take over and recommend not to pay the additonal royalty fees....

History repeats itself. Drop the unique Shelby and replace it with a easier to produce quasi performance model.

Ford owns (since mid 1967) every trademark except "Shelby". They can stick Cobra, GT350, GT500, etc on whatever they want with no fee. They licensed Shelby to use the Cobra name on 2 seat cars. When Shelby started building his own cars again (based on the Mustang GT) he just called them Shelby GTs.

Not totally true.  If you check the Shelby Licensing site , Shelby Licensing owns Shelby, GT350, GT500, Gt500KR and shares the use of the Cobra name ( Ford on Mustang sedans like SVT used and on roadster Cobras for Shelby).  The Shelby GT was used to differentiate from the SVT Mustang Cobra.  Ford pays license agreement fees to Shelby Hall Trust under its licensing agreement for the use of Shelby Licensed names.  Shelby American also pays fees for those names.. But they Ford and Shelby American do not use the same name at the same time.  SA used GT350 2011 through 2014 and then it went to Ford.   Ford has GT500 while SA has done GT500KR, Supersnake, etc.  SA Shelby Mustangs use "Powered BY Ford" side markers as  on their Shelby Mustang models.  The Cobra Mustang logos are also different between Ford and SA.

As far as the topic here, I feel Ford bastardized the Mach I name with the release of the Mach E model. 8)
