Well there you have it sports fans. That is a killer hood.

 

so how many people that kicked in 15K OVRER msrp are going to be trading up for the new topdog....


still waiting for mrsp...

 

I will tell you I'm going to take my GT500 hood and save it but enjoy the KR hood as soon as possible.

 

oh i'm so gonna buy this hood the day it comes out!!
this is $#^(ing awesome!!!

 

We all have to agree if anyone catches wind when the hood might be available or how much, you need to post it asap.

 

I heard they are only making 1000 of these. If thats true, then Im sure people will have to spend 100,000+ to get one.

 

$100K for a nice looking hood and the bling-bling 40th anniversary package?

Dealer sales managers are not exactly known for intellect abundance but I doubt any of them are dumb enough to think the GT500KR is worth much more than the combined MSRP. I've yet to see a dealer advertise a GT500 with the $11,000 40th package which has been available for months.

I've seen one dealer make a mut out of a GT500 with Saleen graphics and that didn't pan out too good.

 

Love the hood but I know I won't love the price for the whole car. I'm sure you can spank the King of the Road with some simple mods anyways. I appreciate the Shelby name and all but it's not worth thousands to me.
