Very nice car, but the dealership has a 50,000 ADM !!! Insane!!!  They want 97,000 for that car!  I just laughed and told them my car had 45 HP more than their 97,000 Shelby.  Really though, it is a nice car.  But only for the 47,000 MSRP, and I told them so.  I am so sick of this CRAP!

I remember looking around here locally and someone had SGT's gor like 70k lol I didnt look too closely when I saw the price tag.  Unfortuantely Sherwood they are still trying to rape us here, I keep hoping our dealers will wisen up.

They'll never "wise up" as long as there are dumb bastards that will pay that much!  He really wanted to sit down and deal, but I know that they will never come down to MSRP and I told him as much.  I also said I would NEVER pay an ADM and I really don't even like paying MSRP.  I also said I could go get a Vette for a lot less than that!  I don't think he liked that.

Oh yea, and when he said it only had 475 HP I told him WTF, I have 520 with my 4.6!

Where have you guys been? GT500's are going for $2,000 over now.

A dealership two hours from me has a white with blue stripes going for $1,000 of sticker. Another for $3,000 over 30 minutes from me and another for $3,000 over 2 hours from me.

They wonder why ford is dying and closing. 97000 for mustang, you could buy two gts and make them faster and more add ons and have change for that kind of money

If ford would offer the following options then they would be alot better off
Forged internals
KB
Suspension upgrade
4.10
just these few options would sell more stangs

I was able to go out in both, GT-500 and 07 Z06, it's not even close for the money, that Z06 is simply amazing car, the msrp on the Z06 was 66k, down the street they have 3 GT-500's sitting in the showrom for 71k.

if the GT500 was anywhere from 45k-50k I'd buy one, but the ADM's are pushing these for about 55k+

the Shelby GT I'm getting a real good deal on but if it was anything over 38k I'd never buy it.

They could have done alot more to these cars for a lot less, and still make a good buck on them.

Yesterday they had 2 GT500's at the OC Autoshow. And they were actually letting people sit in them! Big change from the past 2 years. That tells me they are ready to deal on these cars. They also let us sit in the Z-06 and base price vs base price the GT500 is a better buy for 1/4 mile times. But not for luxury.
