I wonder if that KR on the showroom at my local dealer just got devalued yesterday> 
My question George, and yes you did mention it before, why is it not street legal? What keeps it from being so?
Anybody?
And it sounds like George has already made up his mind on his next car.
Maybe sooner than later George. You did just have a birthday, right?

I must agree. I liked the standard lights especially the way they look in the shot of the Kona Blue Shelby. Looks good with the Shelby front end. And I wasn't a fan of the standard lights before now.

All I know is Ford's window sticker on the inside of the passenger side window clearly states it is not street legal and the rectangular space where that information appears is corvered (more like concealed) with a stick on picture of a silver w/blue stripes GT500KR on the outside of the window. I'm sure that is not Ford's idea of providing full disclosure.
Apparently most Ford dealers were clueless and found out about this minor technicality only after taking delivery.
Ooooops!

You guys think 07-09 GT500 prices are going to tank after this thing comes out? I have noticed that they are already starting to drop off quickly, but I think car is a big improvement over the previous car. Compared to the GT and base model this one has gotten a lot of attention. I'd prefer an 10' but if an 09' can be had on the cheap I may go that route......what do you guys think???

Is it more $$ than the Camaro SS and SRT-8 Challenger? Sure it is, I won't deny that. But has anyone really found out how much a FULLY LOADED SS costs (all options)? We know its gonna be in the low $40K range maxed out. And I don't see the SRT-8s flying off the lots (there are LOTS of them sitting now). This thing is easily 100+hp more powerful (and knowing SVT, the motor is under-rated, as usual) than both those cars, and still lighter (an assumption, but a good guess at the same right). Why can't you just let people be happy with what they see. Would you rather the car NOT come out, and have the entire "muscle-car revival" die out and we all drive Smart cars?
Let the people be happy for what it is.I'm sorry everyone, but most of you all in this thread are so happy with what you see, and I hate it when someone spoils it.

Always gotta chime in with a "glass half empty attitude" don't ya? What do you think people paid for their 2007 and 2008 GT500s in their high-point? Tens of Thousands OVER MSRP I can tell you that (which equates to $60-$75K for their GT500s). Your in the VERY SMALL minority who think this won't sell. I am already talking to several people about ordering one. And the car hasn't been "officially" introduced yet (Auto Show style). People want what they want, and will pay for it. Don't doubt that.
I suppose one has to do a price analysis in light of hp/dollar for other cars and then look at the (relatively) small increase for what one gets.
That said, despite it being "expensive for a Mustang" in my book, I think this is an excellent car I would love to own!
Can ya get me an X-plan on that??

I like it. I have been waiting for this to debut since we saw the 2010. I was a little iffy on the nose, and the stripes in the seats im not so sure about. But overall I like. Cant wait to see more of it.

Sylvester is a keeper. I am excited with the prospect of the new gen but it won't be at the expense of getting rid of the '08. The earliest would be the 2011 MY, so for 2010 I'll just be a cheerleader for the guys that get them.

I can't see ADMs being very big at all on this one. Of course they will try, but, succeeding is another story.
The sales pitch of "they are only going to make 1000 shelbys and never make one again" is obviously gone now. The economy is in the toilet and the power increase is the same that you can get from Ford Racing for a few hundred bucks.

And the current economy means that dealer ADMs will not last long...if they even try it at all.

Agreed. And the "early adopters" who already shelled out big ADMs have already gotten there's. Doubtless there will be a few who will add another - or trade in - but everything you said above is bang on, IMO.
