Damn u beat me to it... yeah they are dumping it, but hey you cant argue with carroll shelby.... Its supposed to run high 11's and have a 0-60 time is 4.0 seconds, rated at around 500 hp I believe.... [sm=badbadbad.gif]

They wont need to run 10's to compete w/ the Z06...it is turning about 500 horsepower so they are tight there with it anyways, the Z06 is just maybe a few lbs. lighter but the shelby and Z06 are right there w/ each other. The only thing about it is that Mustangs arent exactly top end cars, or at lest they havnt been noted for it in the car world. And the Z06 is expected to be around 200mph. sotck so the shelby is going to need to haul some serious @$$ top end to compete on the highways. But the shelby will be right there with it on the 1/4 mile.

I think they can charge that much for the car. Look at the stock 05 mark ups on the GT. It seems to be a sellers market with the new styling change. Plus, all the Vette site I followed were calling the 06 Z06 $$75-83K. Right up there with the Viper. An 2004 Z06 stickered for $53500.00 I almost bought one in December. That was pretty muck an 04 Vette with the special drivetarin. The 06 Z06, looks a lot like the new C5 vette, but way more money to build. I doubt when they hit the salesfloor, you can touch them for under $70K.

I bought my 05 GT 5spd, when I heard a SVT was at least two years out. I am enjoying it a lot, but plan to move to Saleen, or Sheby, etc. by next summer. Got to raise some more down payment. Anybody want to buy a "slightly used 94 Harley, money pit" ??lol

I just hope someone pushes an 06/07 Mustang out the door, with over 450 hp, for under 55K. Thats the ticket for me.

Plus, with the bargin priced 300hp, 05 GT (I paid $24750 on X-Plan last week). Why not have an over the top option car. Its a whole different market.

I looked at the Saleen, and decided to have my GT custom built. I saved 5k$ off the Saleen E model, and I have a LOT more power. I don't have the flashy look of the Saleen, but I have "stealth".... my friends say I'm stoned if I think I have "stealth", since you can hear the damned thing from a block away. Maybe that's "sour grapes", but I like it. Since its my money, and I drive it, it should be the way I like it:

Whatever Ford is going to do is supposed to debut in the New York auto show in March. The rumors are many but in about a month we will see the new SVTShelbyCobraGT500KRGT350fastStang or whatever the name is going to be.

Dumping SVT alltogether?
Damn... that sucks
Because I don't see this Shelby Cobra thing lasting more than a couple years...
Yeah, he's made some sick cars in the past. But it really doesnt seem like it'd be a long term thing as was SVT.
Oh well I guess...
Down with SVO down with SVT.
What's next?
