RE: Bullit verses Shelby GT comparison

This topic is like comparing apples to oranges. I paid rougly over 41 K out the doorcfor my shelby and im totally happy i did. The main  purpose was to fill my long time dream of owning a   real shelby GT mustang. If you are going to argue paying 10 K + more for a shelby over a GT is lame it dont hold water. I will argue that if you compare the price of a 67 cobra and the price of a 67  MUSTANG IN 67  the shelby COBRA blows away a mustang in over all value. Ive heard some 67 cobras have been getting over 1 million $$. Shelby in time has never lost value ever. ANd you can bet that the 07 shelby wil be worth much more then any GT and keep its value as time passes. I bought my 2007 about 1 year ago and i have yet to see another shelby like mine on the road. My car is allready rare ..ANd last point a shelby is a different car then a Mustang GT . A shelby IS A Shelby a mustang is just that a mustang A DIME A DOZEN. You dont buy a shelby to get around everyday you buy it as a collection item totally different then a normal purchase of any average car.

So did you see the black Shelby GT/SC at the Stillen Show? That was an amazing Shelby! They should have had drool guards surrounding the engine!

I recently went to a dealership  to check out an 08 GT/CS....inside, they had 2 - 08 Shelby GT's and 1- 08 Black Bullitt.  Price on the Bullitt aprox 33,000 and the 2 Shelby's 45,000.  Talked with the manager and he is saying that he is willing to let either go for the sticker price which would be aprox 31,500 + T/T for the Bullitt and aprox 41,000 + T/T for the Shelby.   From the small number of post I've seen, it appears that the Bullitt is the better performance bargain of the two but the Shelby is better looking and should hold value better in the time.  To me, the Bullitt is just so plain looking...it's great that it performs well, but I also want something I an proud to look at as well.  I had pretty much given up the idea of getting a Shelby due to rediculous dealer price increases on the GT500 and the SGT...but if they are willing to sell at sticker, might be worth it .  Does anyone know if the 60 month @ 3.9% interest rate applies to the Bullitt and SGT?  The manager said there were no incentives on either car.  Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

I DID NOT buy my 2008 Shelby GT500 as a collection item, I bought it to DRIVE!

Maybe you didn’t pay almost what I paid for my GT500 for a slightly modified Mustang GT to drive it, but I bought my GT500 to drive.  Period!

I don’t give a rodent’s derriere about resale value.  If I just wanted to look at something sitting in the garage I could have saved my money and bought a full sized poster of a cool car and hung it in the garage.

If you think these Shelby’s are going to appreciate like a 1960’s GT500 or Cobra, you are crazy.  You and I won’t be alive to see that.

Yes it is like comparing apples to oranges.  The Shelby GT is $7000 to in this case $11,500 over priced.  My 2008 Bullitt is scheduled for build this week.  My cost before the $1500 incentive was $31,000, I will now be paying $29,500.  You can buy a lot of glue on scoops, brake and suspension parts, and vinyl racing stripes, and even a blower kit for that $11,500 and still have money left over.

Again my buddy just bought a SGT for $29,999.00, before taxes etc.

It's like I'm talking to a retard. First off stop writing in bold and messin' around with cap locks. When did jbnetdev buy his SGT? Plenty of people paid to much for their SGT's just like many paid to much for GT500's early on. Look, bitethebullitt just paid 2k more on a bullitt then my buddy did on a SGT! Bitethebullitt got his car with rebates, most people paid less without rebates for a Bullitt. Like I have already said, the SGT is overpriced at msrp. But it's all about market value. My friend just bought the car at the above mentioned price. Sh*t at that price the car is a great freakin deal. Besides the SGT will hold its value much better then a Bullitt, and every smart consumer needs to consider this before they make a large purchase on a depricable asset. Right? Point is, the cars cost pretty much the same if you do your research and are patient.
