Yet, another model that will have rediculous dealer mark ups.

The Super Snake can have 725 hp from the factory. That's a stock Mustang at 725 hp!!!

Would still love to get my hand on a super snake though. The 725hp one has to be just insane to drive. Anyone hear any 1/4 mile or 0 to 60 on it yet?

I just got my Motor Trend Mag. yesterday and low and behold on the front cover they have the Shelby GT500KR! Boy is my mouth drooling!

In the write up it begins with, "BOY,YOU MUSTANG fans are a restless bunch. It's barely a year after the release of the most powerful factory Mustang ever built-the 500-horse 2007 Shelby GT500- and already you're moping around like a horde of hungry Oliver Twists begging for "more, please."

The GT500KR reportsestimates the car can do 0-60 in 4.0 seconds! Look out Z06, I see a Mustang about to pass you!

It would be worth it to see the look on the face of a Z06 owner!!!! The vette has been ******* on our ponies since the beginning of time!!! lol

ESTIMATED MSRP $65K, look for $99,999.00 off the lot. (maybe more) How many "specialty Stangs" do the MUSTANG fans need ?
ROUSH
SALEEN
Parnelli Jones'
GT 500
Shelby GT
etc...etc...etc... That's like 18 or so models above the GT, shoot maybe after it's all said and done, OUR cars will be the collectibles !!JK
Seriously, though, I'm glad this has become such a frenzy, and the competition has not yet caught up. I wonder why FORD is bringing it out in Spring of 08, while they should be waiting, and introducing it with thenew 09 styling.
