    Help us GT500 MSRP Buyers out...

    good advice All good advice. I wonder how many on here that claim MSRP actually have the keys in hand with their bill of sale. From this board, it looks like most people were on a list somewhere, then they found out their good deals evaporated when the crazy market for these vehicles hit...

    C&D Not crazy about the 'vert

    http://www.stangnet.com/Ford-Mustang-News/Car-and-Driver-Test-the-Shelby-GT500-Convertible-060824.html This is one of the news items on the main page. What does this mean to everyone? I hope that reality sets in and the mark-ups from dealers come back down to earth. Some people...

    GT500 Supercharger impressions

    question for mk2 When does it feel like the blower is kicking in? Do you have to rap it out before you notice it? I like the GT500 setup, but in some ways I feel a twin-screw would have been a better choice, like the Ford GT has. From what I read it allows more power in across the entire...

    What are you paying for a new GT500?

    wow... :lol: :lol: The GT500 is not for everybody, neither are the other 'specialty vehicles' on this platform. The Saleen 281E, Cervini, or even a Foose clone are built on a muscle car, winning retro design. Anybody who gets their panties in a bunch because the free market is at work...

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    MK2, I agree with the publicity, but once you get beyond that and get your pocketbook out, you start sizing these s197 platform special editions up. In my mind, the latest news of the Shelby GT being released in 'probably' greater numbers than the GT500 makes me think having a car by...

    2007 Shelby GT preview on Edmunds

    Nice Car... We'll have to see what sort of Premium it brings, but right about now I'm feeling sorry for the poor saps who paid 60-65k counting mark-ups on the GT500 thinking it would be the 'only real Shelby in town'... Now we have this car, with more credibility as a Shelby (being prepared...

    C&D Review: Vette vs. GT500: My take

    :bs: I'm sorry, but all you have to do is pull the skins off both of these vehicles, then tell me what they are built for. The C6 is a sports car in the purest sense of the word. Let's agree about that. And they're comparing apples to oranges. The Shelby GT500 is nice, fast, kick-a$$...

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    Your thoughts? The Saleen has race suspension components, a twin-screw blower, the 'wow' factor - sans the Shelby name, increased rarity if you look at 281e build numbers, more options - including a glass roof on coupes, and higher pricetag. Initial reports show better 1/4 mile performance...

    Shelby GT

    Hi all, Long-time lurker, first-time post, I've been watching the development and roll-out of the GT500 with anticipation, and am generally interested in the special production vehicles of this current platform. One thing that worries me, however, is the shear number of special...
