I don't necessarily want the first one. I am not willing to pay AMV. SO if that becomes an issue, I'll wait.
I'm just tired of waiting for it. It has been a long time. I sold my last mustang in May of 1996. I have been jonesing for one ever since.

Yeah despite all the talk about the AMV.....I'm pretty certain I've got a MSRP deal locked in , BUT if not I hope to have the discipline to hold off till the prices stabilize...which they WILL!

Which would be a shame, cause I was really looking forward to pulling up to one of these at the lights in my Shelby GT500 and having a good ole fashioned '60s style shootout that'll make all the surrounding Nissondoyotas quiver in their Michelins.

I'm just still keeping my fingers crossed that they don't nix the interior they showed us in NY early this year, Crazyhorse...and that they keep the Shelby markings on the car. If they lose the whole lot of 'em, I think I'll be waiting for the next SE model.

I'm just not feeling it. The engine is a gem however, although an aluminum block would have been nice. Those wheels look awful - it's amazing what a difference an inch makes.

I agree........and man those wheels SUCK. They get uglier and uglier everytime I see them. Something just doesnt look right with the car.

In the Road and Track article (go look at it or get it if you haven't) it shows some views of the interior. The leather quality looks nice. The red stitching is on the steering wheel and front seats. IT doesn't look like the dash has the stitching (too bad, I liked that), but, the pic is limited on what you can see.

My feeling now is that those are NOT pics of the final car, since the rear medallion is the standard tri-bar pony variety and there are no Shelby markings on the exterior anywhere.
I do agree with other posters here that those 18" wheels are kind of "meh." They should have given us the 19" ones. And the ride height and offset looks kind of iffy too.
Oh, well, that's easily fixed, I suppose. Either way, we'll know in about two weeks. If the leather dash and panels have been dropped, however, I'm definitely out.
