Always been a bunch of versions of the mustang. Almost all the ford/shelby versions had been released in the past.

Gee, another overpriced, adm'ed to death, unattainable car with the build quality and interior from a 20K dollar bread and butter car. Wooptidoo.[:'(]

All sarcasm aside. It looks awesome. But really does nothing for ford . They love to build cars that no one can go and buy, touch and own.

When one can walk in to chevy (ZO6), porsche or BMW and actually buy a car for a reasonable buck compared to MSRP without jumping through hoops and kissing salespersons asses, why bother with ford's games???

It is not that they have this unbelievably better product. It is all their marketing BS and forced supply.

I love my 06, and it treats me well. But I had to cut through dealer bs for a few weeks while being lied to by many dealers (including having an ordered car sold out from under me) to get it a smidge under MSRP.

And when a customer with money in pocket is interested in buying a GT500 at ONLY sticker, and willing to wait for an ordered car, and you allow dealers to turn away sales, you are playing with a half deck.

Sure, ZO6's are in high demand too, and ones on the dealer lots are about 5K above sticker which is not too bad if you have to have a car now. But a dealer will order you one at MSRP or below and in 4 months or so your car comes in.

Says the upgrade price hasn't been set, but should be in the $10-12K range(highly doubtful considering the S/C change, 6 piston Baer brakes and suspension upgrades), but the customer has to supply their GT500 in the first place(so anyone with cash to burn and a GT500 to mod can have one).
One can dream, right? Lotto anyone?
