Default The Shelby GT500KR *Pics from New York Show Added*

Barrowed this from Stangnet.











Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the original Shelby Cobra GT500KR, Ford and Shelby collaborate on a new ‘King of the Road’ Mustang with the 2008 Shelby GT500KR.

Shelby GT500KR features an estimated 540-hp 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 with a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack, 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, short-throw shifter, and unique suspension tuning.

Exterior design draws inspiration from the classic Shelby KR Mustangs and features unique carbon composite hood, wheels, and special 40th Anniversary badging and unique striping.

Shelby GT500KR arrives in spring 2008 in an exclusive run of only 1000 units.

I like that hood! Anyone care to speculate on what the stealers will be marking this bad boy up to?

Probably about $40,000 more than I am willing to spend.

Still...WOW. That hood is SOOOOO much better. I give it an A+++++

1000 unit only!?!

I'll say right now I bet this car will be close to $100,000 - $120,000 if they keep those production numbers.

Beautiful though - just beautiful. Imagine how many more GT's they could have sold if it looked like that in the first place...[&:]

I love those rims better too. I think that looks waaaay better then the current shelby. 1000 cars+ Dealerships X Demand + Ski Mask = Highway Robbery then convert that into US dollars and you are only paying 80 grand but compared to a Z06 you get a back seat!

As much as I like the Stangs, $100K for a Mustang is just not worth it IMO. You know dealers will be throwing markups at it to break the $100K mark.
