I cant believe Shelby GT owners are even talking smack..You want over priced, buy a Shelby GT for $11,500 over a GT..lol
I've had the car a year and it has been trouble free, don't beleve everything on the net sir. I remember reading all kind of horor stories over at svt performance.com prior to buying my cobra. It does come with a 5yr, 100,000 mile warranty if something does happen.
Read my post again.. Not net rumors , just daily life at the shop... Believe what you want.... I'm looking at the service write ups right now. LOL, not rumorsJust lots of customer concerns and $110 per hour labor rates
LOL..this thread is comedy...throw a CAI, smaller pulley, exaust and a quality dyno tune, and you have 520 + rwhp safely..A rock solid 6 speed tranny and much better brakes than GT's and Shelby GT's..
I cant believe Shelby GT owners are even talking smack..You want over priced, buy a Shelby GT for $11,500 over a GT..lol....The fit and finish from Shelby is a joke..I have an 08 on my showroom floor and the fake hood scoop looks like it was spray painted and the paint near the fake fastners is peeling.I am plenty happy with my 420 rwhp GT and full Steeda suspension and interior and exterior enhancments for less money than a 340 flywheel hp w/ Ford suspension Shelby GT .The GT500 does not suck, a few refinements, and you have a car quicker and faster than a Z06..I cant believe some of the comments ive heard so far on this thread..
Let me know in a few months what your dealer charges your to fix the squeaky brakes, and the shudder in the rear end.
Nothing like a car that has to be parked in reverse or it discharges the battery.. Lets see remote only, battery dead,,,,LOL,
Do you have long legs?? When the driver’s seat control module faults and defaults to all the way forward, good luck sitting in the seat.
Corvettes are nice,,, and they only cost $130K or so (ya need two, as one will be in the shop most of the time.)
NOTE: none of these are internet folklore or guesses,, just daily routine at a Chevy dealership . Ford, and the mustang have their own issues for sure,,,but Chevy has a host of um for real.
Best of luck… I’ll take a new Gt500 (at or near MSRP)
7,000 plus units per year is not "limited"...1,000-1,500 is..IMO...
the only thing that i am curious of is why the dealers near me have so many Shelby GT's on the lot. If they are limited production and going to retain better value why are there so many? there are 5 ford dealerships in my area. they all had between 5-20 shleby gt's.
Carrol Shelby should slap you right now..
Carrol Shelby should slap himself for whoring around his name at barret jackson with all those richs *******s that ruined our car scene
All proceeds go to his childrens' foundation. Those rich a-holes, giving money to benefit a non-profit organization.
It's not that, it's the fact that Carroll Shelby will sign his name on just about anything if he is given even a small amount of money. The SGT is a GT with a CAI/Tune and some black bullets instead of the regular ones...Sorry if the majority of us don't see that the SGT is worth 35k or so. I mean, even given that the SGT is an SGT, I wouldn't buy it. You can get a GT for 24-25k now with a lot of options. Paying 10k more just to get a name on the car? Just...lol@the logic there.
Is that really any different than buying a Roush, or a Saleen though? Nothing more than glorified GT's with a few bolt on parts a custom hood/spoiler and a fancy paint job in all but the more extreme models? And because one was put out by Jack Roush and the other by Steve Saleen, dealerships expect a huge premium for them. I'm not saying it right or wrong, but I don't see Carrol Shelby doing anything that hasn't been done a dozen times before by other big names in the industry?
100% different then what...someone going all out and buying a GT500, over a regualar Shelby GT?I agree if you buy a Roush Stage 1 or 2, but if you get the Stage 3 then no, it's 100% different.
Same with the Saleen. But then again, the Saleen and Roush also have a different body kit on them (spoiler, front clip, and in saleen's case, rear bumper).
Saleen supercharged cars with a tune are making 450rwhp easy and running 11's. Roush's are making 420rwhp or so and running low low 12's or high 11's. And like it was said in a different thread, you can buy a saleen supercharged car for 48k (less than the SGT-C) or a Roush Supercharged Stang for like 48 or so also.
