Its funny to see peoples thought process. This past weekend I was down in Ocean City Maryland for one of the east coasts largest car shows. Sheer awesome was it. Mustangs completely dominated all other models by far and there were thousands.

There were tons of Shelby, Gt500's. I got talking to Shelby owners at the mustang show cars and funny how them and the other owners of the high end mustangs take there cars out for car shows only or an occasional sunny day drive. Everybody talks about how the Shelby can perform great but they ain't track racing. They got a 3k braking system and the cars sit in a garage or drive on highway only. The car has a awesome suspension system that people drive on open highway and mostly straight. The 13 Gt500 goes 200 mph but who is doing 200 mph in them on American public roadways?

The stock GT 500 will out perform a 5.0 on a track or anywhere for that matter but for doing 99 percent of what Gt500 drivers do with the car, another model can be made just as fast for a fraction of the price. I didn't meet one Shelby owner that drove it for a daily driver or track race.

 

56k for 13 Gt500. Where? What dealer is selling that. No way.

 

im talking msrp.. it get things first and early you pay to play.

 

The car will easily cost 60k if lucky. Maybe at end of year clearance if they can't move the car. 65k easy or more now for a 13.

 

and 100,000s more gt's and v6 mustangs were made and even less will make it to the track. Most ferrari's never see a track.

btw I daily drove my shelby.. even in rain and snow.

 

They weigh 3700 pounds each, so does that mean you saw two? lol Did you take pictures of all of them? I drive mine more than everyday.

 

Then, you good sir would be in the minority I bet. Did you track race your Shelby?

 

yup. 1/4 and road

 

JOE!!!!!!


Saw a post of a sticker on a GT500 w/ADM just over $70k!

 

I think your paying for the name Shelby and Cobra and that enables Ford to charge 65 k plus for it. If Ford made a non Shelby Mustang with specs similar to a Gt500 then it would be considerable less. Ford could build a 5.0 with a super charger that gives 600 hp for around 40K

 

E!!!

What options?

 

Yeah but you live in a city named after a Whale's Vagina

Its almost always nice there, not always nice in Maryland

 

Didn't look at the sticker, $7k ADM

 

Haha jealous? LOL

 

saw a silver one with red stripe today at my ford store. they are asking 75k. its a high option car but they are asking 10k over. they also have a ghig boss and a sby boss ls.

 

Then, that makes sense for you to have a car with all the performance goodies since you track raced your vehicle. But large majority of Shelby owners don't track race.

 

keep in mind its not ford but car dealers doing this. Car dealers are not ford. thats like saying you went to safeway and got some tv dinners and they over priced the tv dinners so now you are calling the company that makes the tv dinner to complain about the price of the tv dinners even tho they did not price them.

 

More power to someone willing to pay 10k over list price.
