Strange difference in price (US vs Canada)
For some reasons, even with the Canadian dollar stronger than the US, the price of the base Shelby Coupe is 53645$ US , compare with 60549 $ can on the North side of the border. It's understandable since the Shelby is an American car, but the price should be closer.....I believe !
Anyway this difference is usual and is expend to most of the North American Car's market.
Anyway what's funny, is the difference in price for options on the Shelby. Per example, the SVT performance package cost a premium 3995 $ US versus only 2000$ can ....lucky canadian we are !

The recaro seats new for 2012, cost 1595$ US and only 1000$ Can, shaker 1000 cost 1295$ US and 1000$ Can in Canada, and the Nav package 2340$ US and in Canada 2300$ Can.
That's weird is'n it ?

Its prob due to marketing, americans are willing to pay more for racing seats since we can use them compared to the tundra of canada?
supply and demand.

Living in Toronto, I personally can attest to that. I priced out a 2009 GT/CS in 2008 and the order guides were different between USA and Canada. After all the research (warranties, option packages etc.) I ended purchasing the car in Canada even with the currency at around par at that time.

With the Mustang if you price out the exact same options, they are comparible. We have to remember that GTs come with a lot of stuff that are options on the US cars.
Other things like the BOSS/Shelby's are flat out cheaper in the states.
