"The automaker will add in January the Ford Mustang Shelby GT, a retail version of a car previously sold only to Hertz. Ford said it will reveal on Sunday details of the new Mustang at its website, www.fordboldmoves.com. The car will be priced below the $27,000 Mustang GT. "

Yeah- I wonder what the "Market adjustment" will be? $10,000.

USA Today needs to find better sources. It's not even possible for it to be less than the GT.

Reporters!!! Most likey he/she got a press release handed to him that said "Less than a GT500", but the clueless moron doesn't know the difference.

Haaaaaaa, i buy two!

My first thought was, "great, just after I buy an '07, a hotter GT comes out....within the same model year" Then I look at the bright side....they get the extra 25 horses by using the Ford Racing Pack, which requires Premium Fuel. With fuel prices rising daily because of the idiots at BP, I'll take my stock 300 ponies and regular unleaded prices any day.

Well, I see your point, but if we do little math, an average person usually driver about 1500 miles per month, which requires about 80 galons of fuel. Price difference of regular and premium is usually about 20 cents, so 80x20 we are just talking about $16 more per month on fuel.

Personally, I think you can't buy Shelby GT for $27K, it will be much more than that and, you are right, it doesn't worth it for 25 more horses, but if you could, I think it would worth to pay $16 more per month for it.

USA Today needs sources that aren't

Amy with the Shelby company is estimating a price point of 34k. Let's just say that price has not been warmly received by the visitors of these forums!

Steve, believe it or not a lot of people have reported getting much better gas mileage after adding a high octane tune to their GT. Basically the higher fuel cost of 92/93 octane is offset by the improved mileage. If you can keep your foot out of it that is

Higher cost for premium, what, $4.80 per tank at the most, are we really that cheap these days? lol the media has us so under control.

I agree...34,000 sounds like too much...not by a lot though...I was thinking it should be around the same that the GT/CS...+$1,000...this is not my opinion of what it is worth, just what I think would be ok

A GT/CS is about $30K and the FRPP they added to the GT-H are about $2K so $34K sounds fair for the complete package. $35K if they delete the GT/CS interior.

That's one thing that would look great in the Shelby GT. (the GT/CS interior)
