Shelby GT
I was at a dealer and I saw a Shelby GT. I wondering if anyone had any onfo on this car. I'm looking to trade my 04 mustang in and was wanting a GT. I noticed the shelby GT was priced a bit higher, but not as high as the 500. does anyone thing these are good cars or would you stick with a regular GT.

RE: Shelby GT
shelby GT is basically a regular GT with about 30 more HP, a different body kit, and shelby badges...all this for about $10,000 - $12,000 more. nice cars but not worth that much more money to me. to some, just the shelby name is worth that much

+1 I agree unless your deadset on the shelby name just buy a regular GT.

RE: Shelby GT
Well...according to the Ford Racing Performance Parts website...the GT-H is a GT with the following options:
Power Upgrade Package...$889
Handling Package...$1,149
Race Rear Brake Pads x2...$410
Performance X-Pipe...$139
So about a total of $2587 for the "performance" additions. Add in $360 for the Ford Racing Stripes and a bit more for the grill/decorations and you have about a 3k package before the 10 man hours (per latest Motor Trend) to convert a GT to a GT-H. I wonder how this rough estimation will translate into real world cost.
I'd rather see an inbetween of the GT and GT500. Call it a GT350 or Boss.
