200g's is a little steep but should be badass if it can get traction. Wonder why they didn't just use the 5.8 block to start with..

That price is ridiculous. I can't wait to know what parts they add to justify a 150k starting point.

200k is a lot steep!! I guess your paying for the exclusiveness of not many being made. I know for my 200k I wouldn't buy that.

OK, OK, this is just nuts!! I love Mustangs, but $150K and $200K? For a Mustang? REALLY? I was blown away when Saleen came out with their 25 Silver Anniversary cars at $100,000 a pop back in 2008 I believe!! I think Carroll has finally lost it!! I mean think about it, for the price of the "off road" car, you can buy a nice, pre-owned Ford GT, that will BLOW THIS AWAY with even the slightest of mods!!

Oh it's 200k+ the article stated the package price starts at 150k not counting the vehicle purchase. :ROFL3:

I think Carol Shelby has fallen victim to Alzheimers or something. 200K for a souped up Mustang is not only completely retarded, it's also an utter insult to the entire Mustang community.

Shelby is hurting and I don't think trying to get rich on every sale is going to help 200G's -> BAD
