Who here is getting 1 of the 2000 GT500s for 2010?

JUST KIDDING!

Confirmed it was BS.

Still doesn't mean an all alumimun GT500 engine is NOT coming for 2011 though.

Good chance there will be an engine change in 2011, but that is not the year to buy. I would never buy a new engine (in this car) the first year. Let someone else be the test driver.

The Shelby contract was renewed for years 2010, 2011, and 2012 but is not expected to be renewed beyond 2012.

So based on the above information I plan to buy one of the 2012 GT500s as it will be the last year of the Shelby GT500 run and will have a proven engine/car/drive train installation.
I plan to keep the 2010 I have purchased as it will also be a limited run with this body style and engine.

I would also look for a price increase in 2011 and 2012.

If you are buying these cars as an investment thinking they are going to be worth big bucks you're in for a rude awakening. They made WAY to many of them to be worth anything.
Even the special packages from Shelby are a dime a dozen.
The changes in the motor for 2011 will be very small. From what I read and heard from insiders at Roush is it will have an aluminum block and the internal components of the Ford GT.
I have one of the first 1500 2007s and I haven't had a problem other than a bad COP when I first got it.
