So I dont think there will be any of the first wave sitting on the lots at all.

YOU SHOULD REALLY START READING WHAT PEOPLE TYPE!

wow I cant believe how people are willing to pay this markup, on Friday someone drove down from Palmdale (over 2 hours away, and to get to Pearson Ford a bit closer to 3 hour drive) and bought this Shelby at that markup, and Palmdale is anything but a rich neighborhood. It looks like dealerships are gonna get what they ask for this thing.

"Spoken for" and "paid for" are two different things.
How many are on a list?
How many will actually buy the car?
As soon as they hit the street the clock on the hype is running.
There aren't that many dumb AND rich people.They did not get rich by being dumb. Having your car depreciate $30K in 8 months is pretty dumb indeed.
It's a desirable car to be sure, but after you've seen 20 of them around town, it's just like a corvette(I refuse to capitalize that word). Our chevy dealer has 40 corvettes lined up...any color you want. Next year, you will see Shelbys lined up also. I'll wait for the KR version next year(handling pac and drag pac,twinscrew) and I never pay MSRP on anything.

I wonder how long before one of the boneheads totals his GT500 and the insurance company only gives him retail value. Whoooops, there went 20 or 30,000 dollars.

Fortunately, people like that are the minority.
There won't be many folks able to get financing for Shelbys with markups, I shouldn't think.
I don't care what some believe - this will all settle down by the end of this model year, at the latest.
