Bronco Nation Update - 9 JULY 21

It's summary time!

We came in off the holiday weekend hot, hot, hot with Shelby vs. Shelby. This video got our friends Shelby Hall and Shelby American some major attention ... and lots of speculation was raised :sneaky: Here's just a sampling of what was said:

• Motor1 - Ford Bronco Races Mustang Shelby GT500, Future Shelby Bronco Teased
• AutoBlog - Did Ford and Shelby just announce a high-performance Bronco?
• TFLcar - It Looks Like Ford Just Teased A High-Performance Shelby Bronco — Watch Out Wrangler 392?
• autoevolution - 2021 Ford Bronco Track-Races GT500 Signature, You Won't Believe Which Came First
• MotorAuthority - Shelby boss hints at tuned Bronco
• Bronco6G - Shelby Vs Shelby Feature -- Bronco vs GT500
• CarBuzz - Shelby Teases A Go-Faster Ford Bronco
• Carscoops - Shelby Looks Set To Work Its Magic On The New Ford Bronco
• Muscle Cars & Trucks - Shelby Ford Bronco Hinted in New Video?
• TopGear - A Ford Bronco actually beat a Shelby GT500 SE in a head-to-head race around a track

As CarBuzz proclaims: "This could be epic." :cool: Also by way of speculation but with its own dose of supporting arguments, what's this we have here? Preparations for Possible Off-Roadeo in New Hampshire.

I love some good rumors ... just don't leave us guessing for too long, right? Something that fewer people will love, save for the cash-heavy, ready-to-buy-now among us: Dealer Marks Up Base 2021 Ford Bronco to $100,000, Because Why Not? As John Lyly wrote, "The rules of fair play do not apply in love and war.”

Back over to Bronco Nation articles:

• We'd love for you to join us at Super Celebration (West). I'm partially responsible for this Sesame Street/Beauty-and-the-Beast-esque title. My apologies. But seriously, Premium Members get in on our dime. Not a Premium Member? You're welcome to sign up now and get in free immediately, whether you've been a member for a day or a year. No shame in that game! We know you'll benefit, and that makes us happy. Not only do you get a kit of Bronco Nation members-only and personalized gear, you also get deals and perks throughout the year -- plus use of the additional features of the site, like the ability to create and arrange meetups using the map tool. And speaking of premium members who have been with us for a year, watch your email for a communication early next week :love: Like Ford, sometimes Bronco Nation takes you down to the wire, but probably also like Ford, it's because we're trying to squeak out the best options and news in the background. Thanks for your patience, and thank you even more for your support. Our founding members have gone through a lot, but hopefully all the good. things. outweigh the pains. We are truly so appreciate of each and everyone of you on this platform, from registered users, to digital members, to premium members.
• Not sure if you can make it to Colorado for SuperCel? We have plenty of other events, and a handful this month too! One definite highlight for the vintage Bronco crowd is @TOMSOFFROAD's Rock & Roll.
• And last but not least, @tzuercher analyzed the 2021 Bronco suspension, which sent me down a rabbit trail of Ford's Twin-Traction Beam front axle. I threw a link into his article in case you were unfamiliar with the history like I was. If you've been thinking about modding the suspension once you get your Bronco, Todd gives you a heads-up on what may be coming in the aftermarket parts world.

This concludes Laura's Wall of Text. tldr? Bronco Nation and the Bronco community are excited by Shelby Hall's driving and Shelby American's interest in the Bronco; expensive Broncos are being sold; we want to thank our members and registered users; and the Bronco suspension is solid, but if you want to modify it, you''ll have the ability.

Have a wonderful weekend, y'all!
