Ford has announced that there will be a 325 hp shelby mustang gt, it looks like a consumer version of the shelby gt-h. The announcement is on www.svt.ford.com in the news section, wounder how much they will go for??

 

yeah, it is in the new motor trend also...they are saying it will be $35,000...rediculous if you ask me

 

You can do those mods that the Shelby GT offers to a normal GT for a cheaper price. But it wont be a "Shelby". I agree with mac10chap, waste of money. Good idea though!

 

+1!
I just don't see why it has to be "limited" production. The best thing Ford could do is offer all these goodies(CAI, exhaust upgrades, suspension mods) and make them options on the regular GT(factory fitted, that is). I've heard $35,000+ as well.....which means $50K when they hit the showrooms.......well, I guess us "regular" GT owners will just have to be happy we didn't get gouged by the "limited" production status that the Shelby name brings with it.

 

I didn't know that 07 4.0 got boosted up to 4.0. lol I think its just a typo ITs towards the end of the article on the 07 Shelby GT

 

I can't belive the crap that Shelby is lending his name to. I hold the CS6 and GT-H with higher regaurd than the GT500. Well maybe I'm streching it there but at least there won't be 8,000 of those produced every year. It really should have been called just a cobra. And I could build the Shelby GT my self at home so what make it special? Well I guess I those shelby floor mats will be hard to come by[sm=lame.gif]

 

Are you guys saying that $35,000 is too much for that car? Sorry, I'm not clear on it. Is it because of the modest gains over a stock GT that you say that it's too much? I guess I'm asking because my '06 GT vert stickered over $36,000, although I X-Planned it. So a "Baby Shelby" going for $35K with 25 more HP, better suspension, CAI & engine tune, and gearing--not to mention the Shelby name and Plate which will raise value--and $35 grand sounds like a bargain. To me, anyway...

 

Aren't 'Verts generally $4-5K more expensive than a coupe? Plus with all the hoopla surrounding the GT500(which has the Shelby name as well), don't you think it'll trickle down and affect the Shelby GT's price? Yes at just $35K, it might, just might be worth it's premium over a "regular" GT or GT/CS in value in the future(justifying the initial premium in price). I realize the car's a sweet ride, but enough with the loaded deck mentality at Ford these days(meaning we're the suckers). I guarantee you when the Shelby GT hits the showrooms you won't get it anywhere near sticker price.....just nature of the beast.....[&o]

 

Well, the standard 2007 GT has a $3,000 ADM charge right now here where I live. Expect the Shelby at +10,000 if you ask me. The GT 500 is +25,000.

 

I think Ford is playing this one smart. Body wise, the Shelby GT has identical bodywork as the California Special but with a different grill. Easy to produce on the current assembly line yet brings in a big big return.

Add a few bolt ons (cai, tune, suspension) and some stripes and you got an instant Shelby. In a way, the Shelby GT might be closer in concept to the original '65/'66 GT-350 then the current GT-500. Looks like a great drivers car.
