The Shelby Name Plate Doesn't Raise The Price, Shelby Himself Said In A Press Confrence That The Gt500 Was For All To Enjoy And That Base Price Will Be Under 40k

Mikesan said:The Mustang GT is the 5% exception because Ford didn't make enough and demand is high right now. V6's are now advertised here in NorCal for $16,888. By next year anyone who wants one will be able to get a GT for $300-$500 over invoice easy. Just a prediction.
My goal for a GT500 is $1000 below MSRP. Will I be able to do that in the first few months? No way. By the end of the second year run? Probably. I'm glad Ford says they will make enough to satisfy all the demand. Because if they limited the production, only the rich would be able to buy them and they'd sit in heated garages with covers on them. In 30 years a pristine one will be worth a whole lot more than the MSRP.

They changed the Shelby letters on the back
Changed the front splitter shape
Changed the hood
Back off from all the leather inside
Changed the tires and rims
The Stripes will be tape instead of painted
Is this bait and switch?
I wished! It would put the car in another level.kristopher said:Any chance they will drop the solid axle and go with IRS?

TrueBlueCajun said:I agree with everything you've said......except for the centered Cobra emblem on the grille. Keep it to the side for the Retro nostagia look. It wouldn't hurt to keep it to the side. As long as it has the HP and performance they claim, I'm all for it. The Shelby name just brings the price up so if it was up to me, I'd prefer to have the name off so the cost could be lower. We don't need another Saleen/Roush Mustang (higher priced Mustang due to a name splattered on the car).

Play Fast said:I though I read somewhere that during testing with the '05 GT they also found that the irs actually made the cornering performance worse than the solid rear axle did. Am I dreaming or does anyone else remember reading that?
