Shelby GT350R Buyers Can Get a Back Seat, Wives Lose Veto Power

You can posture all you want, but if you are a guy with kids in the market for a new car, and you bring up something with only two seats, your wife will probably say no. We all know that is the death knell for many of your sports car dreams. This is exactly how I ended up with a normal Boss 302 Mustang back in the day rather than the Laguna Seca model.

Ford Performance has taken that veto power from spouses around the world with the announcement that you can now buy a back seat for the Shelby GT350R. It’s not even that expensive, considering the last time I looked at the cost of factory Ford upholstery, just the top section for a Boss 302 seat was nearly $1000.

The alcantara-trimmed back seat kit sells for $999 and includes the entire rear seat structure and seat belts. Boom, the most track capable Mustang ever complete with a back seat. You’re welcome. Now come get me and let’s hit the track, honey.
