They are dropping like flies. I was told a Torch Red w/ Performance White was totaled here in town. I had seen it a few time but was never able to catch up to it.

The only problem with regular insurance is that because the car is $55-65K to replace, your insurance premiums reflect that price. And, if/when the car depreciates, you get reimbursed REAL market value (not this ADM stuff). So, if a used GT500 only pulls $35K in a year, then that's what you get.
On the other hand, if you had "collector car" insurance (assuming you meet the driving qualifications, etc), you can get it insured for an agreed upon price. so, you could still have it insured for $65K. Your premiums would be higher for that much insurance, but still not as high as with regular insurance. and, even if it was higher, you still get a lot more coverage

Interesting a lot of the Red ones are involved in accidents. I know there is a statistic about it. A GT500 on Red on the NW side of town was wrecked a couple weeks back as well. Not sure if it was totaled or not. Friends of the Owner seen mine at a street show and were quick to point out to me to be careful with it.

Accidents happen, I just hope no one was hurt. That being said I am no professional driver and given what I know about this new Cobra I would not buy one (if I could afford it) until I took professional driving lessons. Call me crazy but it just seems to make sense. Way to many people out there with plenty of money and no brains or respect for all the power the cars they buy have. Drive safe guys

#how are u how did u know the #of your shelby production # that is
Sad to hear about the wreck. Often when a new powerful car hits the Market, One hears about many accidents. Same happened with the new Vette and GT Supercar. Many of my friends have Terminators putting down much more than mine and even still, 500hp is enough to cause trouble without a moment's notice. Drive those fast cars carefully guys.
Depends on how One works it out with their Ins. Co. Mine is listed as Classic Collector attached to my Roush and is covered for Replacement Value - not Market Value.

Exact number yet to come from the Shelby Registry. Ford has verified that she was built in May 06, rollout did not start till June and she is from the first production run. The last six digits of the VIN - i have been told - the first three of the digits less than 200 means early production. All Shelbys i have seen have 200 or greater in these digits of the VIN. No one i have asked has one with less than 200. If anyone does, please let me know. My Ford guys can run it and get your build date and determine if it is at least close to mine.

Shelby wrecks
I wonder if it's the 350 added pounds the Shelby has over my cars weight, or the 20 more HP I have than the GT500? I can't decide which of these is making so many wreck. Erik

Appears to me that the owners get these cars and are not acquainted with them and their behaviour; then they are not careful and get into trouble. Both my cars are S197 and manual shift, but, that is as far as it goes. A Roush and a Shelby could not be more different in terms of handling and how they react in situations. The Roush will spin in a certain situation that the Shelby will slide in the same conditions. Takes time to get to know the cars and to use them for their performance purpose as you grow with it.
