    GT-500 = Boat

    :hail2: Amen Brother! These cars a sweet. I saw three at a local mustang show this morning and the crowd was wild about these things. Also at the show were some Roush, Cervini, Saleen 3V, and one Foose Stallion (nice looking car)... Not to hijack the thread, one thing I did notice is...

    GT500 value

    Agreed, nice thread. I wish the practical thinking displayed here would seep into the brains of the guys willing to throw money at these cars for crazy over MSRP prices. I expect a RAPID burst in the present bubble as some have said, but I don't see an overall decrease in horsepower anytime...

    What are you paying for a new GT500?

    I'd go one better, Opant. I'd venture to say there's not one person reading this forum that doesn't consider value inherent in rarity. That's all he's talking about. It's new, nobody has 'em yet, it's rare. It's the same reason I dream of owning a Viper or a Saleen Extreme. The performance...

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    Well put. You reiterated the point that was made at the beginning of the post in which Saleen definitely seems to have the performance advantage. The market right now is nowhere near as hungry for Saleen vehicles as anything with a Shelby name on it. I don't know if this will change for...

    Why pay the price when the cars are beat up?

    :eek: Someone's calling someone out! Whatever... Back on topic... I noticed the reserve on the ebay deal wasn't met, so the point is purely academic at this juncture... I believe the someone already explained the avg mpg and how it can read low unless you are doing highway speeds...

    Why pay the price when the cars are beat up?

    :shrug: All of the above is likely overreaction. This car is tougher than anything the first 60 miles can do to it short of a crash. Now I do think it does something to the worth of a 'new' car to put that many on it. But this is more psychological than what could be proven by measuring...

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    There does seem to be a paucity of real-world numbers for the Saleens. I always figured it was their rarity, but despite rarity it seems the automags are always getting the pricier versions of everything to test. This is a good comparison and maybe the s281SC is the better care to pit the...

    John Hennessey’s Shelby GT500 upgrades info??

    :lol: Just take a look over at www.viperalley.com to find out stories about this guy. Even some of his posts are crazy! Not a guy I'd ever do business with. Take your chance and let us know: If you get your car back check the vin on everthing! Give us some info on how it worked (or...

    Went to a Local Car Show and Was Surprised to See 3 GT500s...

    Agreed, If these things go back to MSRP prices, this will be THE best deal going for your HP buying dollar. I can't wait! Chuck

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    Good question... the engine block from the larger 5.4L is steel, not aluminum like the Ford GT. The added weight of the forced induction upgrades compared to the Saleen... Most of the Shelby's extra weight is in the engine compartment. This effectively makes this car handle that much...

    Nothing that cheesy.... :lol: I've just noticed this board in particular has a lot of people interested in the GT500 and VERY few that say they already have there's. Since I posted this I've been to other sites and found some dedicated forums.... Not to knock this board, I still enjoy...

    GT500 Owners Post Up

    :SNSign: O.K. This is simple. If you have the keys to your GT500 and can go out to your garage and look at it, please post up. I know of MK2_GT and the evo modders, but how about everyone else? This thread will help us get an idea of who owns one so we can ask the right people...

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    I'm talking about the 05 to present. As RICKS said, the present S281-E is a 550hp monster and the 2007 is likely going up in the 600s. :jaw: There were like 10 of these built in 05 and around 80-100 total built in 06. They only build per completed order. That's what I call rare. These...

    C&D Not crazy about the 'vert

    ???? So you don't think the negative press has any effect on the public's view of this car? People have built this thing up to a level that is pretty unobtainable. I think the C&D writeups that are negative will have a sobering effect and take some of the wind out of the sails of htis...
