This as well as other dealer sympathic and promotional topics should be at the Ford Salesmen forum where they would receive their due attention. That's right. I, as other TMS members, will not pay too much attention to such insignificant forum. We have to keep in mind the limited financial resources and sacrifice which would be required in order to be able to buy a GT500.
Trust me, the Ford dealers and their salemen do not need any additional help or exposure.

I got the call Last week to pick options. My price was locked in at sticker + Not at all sure I want to complete the deal as I like my Auto so I can do other things while driving. A cell phone is not one of them. If I resell it I still have to pay sales tax and he will to so the state may be the only one making out. 7.5%x45000.00 X 2 is a good deal for the state.$6750.00 and they have not done s--t to earn it.

Lets see so a mid $40k car just became a mid $60k car because of a bunch of guys who probably won't barely drive it. Which is the only way to really enjoy a car. Again how is this car worth $60k+? I really love Mustangs but I'd jump to a Z06 for that kind of money. It pains me to say it but it's the better car in that price range.

Bullitt and Crazyhorse....let's watch these a few of these folks soil themselves for a few months, then we can walk into a dealer and buy what we want on our terrms. I've wanted a GT500 KR for 37 years, 2008 may be my time.
A GT/CS with the FRPP Whipple twin screw kit(warrantied) will make the same power as a GT500 and weigh 350 lbs less....Hmmm.
Always liked that Q-ship/sleeper idea.
Another choice would be next years GT500 with the FRPP twin screw for less money than these dorks are paying this summer on ebay.

Is it possible for there to be a production car at a dealership yet? I am being told there is a Shelby GT500 in the showroom at a dealership in Gaffney SC. It supposedly got there yesterday. I thought production didn't start until Monday of this week??
edit: I did a little researching on my own and this is supposedly a VIP car and it really is there.
I'm going to check it out this weekend.

Got a call from a dealer, #6 on the list, wanted to know if I was still wanting the GT 500, $25,000.00 over MSRP, told him "NO" and I guess the first five on the list also gave him the same answer.
The dealer I`m #1 on the list told me on Monday they got a flyer from a dealer back east looking to sell their GT 500 in CA, asking price, ready for this, $45,000.00 above MSRP, this to CA dealers.

When you go over there open the driver's door and look for the date on the blue DOT sticker. Let us know what it says.
