I can get a brand new Shelby GT for 29k
really? Around here they're around 41 and change after the ADM...freaking assrapists![:@]

we'd be lucky to get an 08 GT 5spd coupe for under 29K...

Now I'm buying an 08' Shelby and leaving it stock
sure
I get a special discount (dont want to go into specifics) and I want to keep it 100% true shelby, and dont want to put any aftermarket mods on it unless Shelby Autos does it.

"So, no Vortech on the 6 banger he?
Question: Why not the GT/CS instead of the Shelby? Same bumpers and look just about, but way cheaper. The stealer won't bend you over with the CS."

I can get a brand new Shelby GT for 29k.
I still have 2 years on my warranty and dont want to mess with a S/C so I figured I'll get the SGT and keep the 6er as my DD, and the SGT as a weekend car.
And you're sure the dealer is going to sell it at 29K? It's funny that the GT/CS vs. Shelby GT was mentioned, because I had the exact same debate. The Shelby GT (not 500, mind you) at the dealership had a price tag that was actually cheaper than my fully loaded GT/CS, but the markup was somewhere around 40K. And I thought WTF? I was using the A plan and didn't know if that would make a difference or not, and still don't because I saw a red vert in the showroom and decided I wanted to go the convertible route, so that's what I ordered. I figured I can't get a convertible Shelby GT, but with a few mods, my GT/CS could be just as fast...and topless!

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see your post just above mine!

no prob.

I can not wait for spring!!!

I think the best mod (performance wise)on the SGT is the short throw shifter, I test drove it and it is amazing! you dont really notice the extra 19 hp that much, I expected the difference to be night and day but overall the car feels alot different than the basic GT (must be the FRPP packages) and its definately so much more fun driving manual over auto, you feel more in touch with the car, and feel like your in a real race car!!..... I can not wait!.

yeah even though the factory shifter and shifter location is much improved over past body styles, the hurst really improves the experience.

it matches my performance white paint job and it's cool to just rest my elbow on the center console lid and shift with my thumb and first two fingers.

I started with the bug, I'm a track addict (road course) I just spent so much money on parts I'm hiding from my wife. I can't wait to blow by those Porshe's and BMWs...
