Shelby GT-H to be released as a retail model

[flieger67]

My father found this news article and sent it to me this morning. Apparently the GT-H is going to be released as a 2007 model for retail purchase. The article claims the news was given to Ford dealers at a meeting in Las Vegas. I wonder if retail GT-H will come in other color schemes and if it will be available with a stick.

They'd be dumb to not make it available with a stick. I'm sure the only reason they have only an auto in the rental version is so people who can't drive a stick well don't destroy the cars.

I want to see how much they're going to charge for the Shelby GT. I was planning on getting a GT in the winter but if the Shelby GT is cheap enough I'd love to have one of those instead.

Several sources point at there being more than one color scheme available.

Ford...you're really hurting me here...its like I decide what vehicle to buy and before I do they come out with another model! ah!

Mach 1...or new GT...or GT/CS...or '08 Boss...or Shelby GT...

Ok I can probably only afford one of those, easy choice!

'08 Boss...

Here is someone's artful wishes (photoshop) for the Boss:

That boss is SICK!!!!!
I read in this months Fast Fords that the new boss is actually a creation of the Saleen group commemorating the Parnelli Jones car. Anyone else read that?

 

[boatillo]

No, but makes sense as I think those guys did a great job on the P.Jones version - if I had the money I would be cruising one of those right now

The news spreads fast, the GT-H was posted on Focaljet.com also.

What mods does the Shelby GT-H have that a stock GT doesnt? I noticed it is said to have 325hp....
