if you're going to spend that much in the first place, you may as well get it. The springs and shocks plus tires can make a huge difference. I'd get it, but that's me.

yes, but you also didnt get the wheels which I'm sure some really like (I do), nor the tires. Also some people don't want to go through the hassle of buying a car, then immediately having to buy a package and have it installed, etc.

Personally, I don't like the looks associated with the SVTPP cars. I don't care for the narrow stripes, or the wheels, and I don't want to be shopping for 20 inch high performance tires either! Since I didn't buy my 2011 Shelby brand new, I didn't have a choice of options, I just went with the car I liked the looks of best.

Yeah I dont like skinny stripes but I do love the PP wheels. Not really a money thing but more of a readily accessable one. My use of this car will be strictly play and street driving on some great old country roads. Would'nt mind tracking the car but not so likely as I'm in BFE MS and not really near tracks other than Atlanta but seeing how I moved from there I dont look forward to returning when I do go....

Oh and I'm talking about the 11-12's as I can't touch those 13's just yet. Got two upcoming drivers in the family with a third a short piece behind..... Just can't quite put it all together yet I'm torn between the GT500 and Boss.

It simply came down to a color choice for me... the color I wanted wasn't available in the SVTP package, so I mod'ed the suspension and picked up the wheels/tires. Voila, the exact car that I wanted. I actually prefer the 3.55s (had 3.73s installed on my '08), and the wider stripes.

The feeling of lighting it up and having the confidence of response makes it worth every penny.

NOTE: Ford has saturated the market w/07-13+ GT500s. I hope nobody expects these cars to be collectable. If so, you better find a good financial advisor.

Seriously, why in the world would you want 3.73's with that much power/torque? You'd never have a set of rear tires last more than 6 months, even if you grannied it.
