Just got off the phone with someone at Shelby Auto with the following information. First, the MSRP of the Shelby GT, after Shelby does its things will be $35,595. The GT will come with 3.55 rear axles, not 3.73s.The options, both performance and appearance, will be above and beyond that and performance upgrades will be outside of the Ford Warranty. Expect the Paxton Supercharger to be about $4500 and the brake upgrade to be $2000, so a fully loaded GT is pushing into GT500 territory. I personally think it will be worth it. It should be lighter, more mobile and, I think, more Shelbyesque!!

Now add in any Shelby options and you're easily looking at a $40K car without any ADM.
Also, a base GT costs $26,270 (with the $745 D&D), then add the $2,140 for the 54U Shelby upfitter package and it comes to $28,410. So the Shelby GT costs package $7,185? Is that correct?

I could be wrong but I thought they started with the GT premium rather than the GT deluxe. That would be $26,805 + $745 destination charge = $27550.
So what is the cost-benefit analysis of purchasing a Shelby GT vs a Mustang GT?
Add the upfitter package @ $2140 and we are up to $29690. $35,595-29180= $5905 for the Shelby GT goodies.
But then you have to take into consideration that most folks can get the Mustang GT at X-plan price (just go to blueovalnews.com and request a pin). So assuming that X-plan = Invoice i.e. $25,875
Subtract $500 for the current discount and the difference between an 07 Shelby GT and a 07 Mustang GT is $10,220.
Since the Shelby GT will have an additional 19hp (plus handling and cosmetic extras). That works out to $537.89 per additional hp.
So the question I've asked myself lately is would I rather have the Mustang GT and put $10,220 of goodies in it or would I rather have the Shelby GT. In the long run the Shelby GT is probably a better investment but this is only if you didn't modify it (to the point of not being able to return it to it's original condition)
Then there is the possibility of ADM.

I thought that the options were going to be covered under the Ford warranty? I recall a few discussions on here about that. That was one of the attractive things about this to me. Of course it being a Shelby was important but the warranty was huge. I cant wait until we get positive info on this thing finally from Ford and pricing.
A draw for me as well. I hope we can get clarification on this soon.
