i didnt mean to rain on your parade. i'm sure the markup where you're at is probly different but i'm sure it's a lot. you should go down to the dealer and see exactly how much it is. where i'm at the MSRP for the gt500 is 42k and they sell for 60k, but i live in hawaii so it's problymarked up a little more here.
what hes said but if you hase then money and want to get it then go for it but you can make your look like one with a supercharger for under 10k so good luck and let us know what you do

Oh, well I guess I was wrong when I checked the site for GT500s, It looked and it said the GT500 was 39,000 and the GT was 27,000, but I guess if there was a markup it would change, I don't know how updated the site was. So, 12K more, I didnt think it was that much.

You poor, poor girl.......do some better research before you get to the dealer.....or he'll laugh you all the way back to your car~!

Not trying to be mean to you, just being honest. Most dealers aren't playing when it comes to the Shelby GT500.....so you better know what your doing before you get there.

Think you might have been looking at the Shelby GT and not the GT500? I've never seen a GT500 anywhere near $39k...

you sure can get blackouts for the new mustangs. check my sig, i got gts covers all around headlights, foglights, tail lights. you can also get them tinted, sprayed, or buy them blacked out.
btw you made that video too right i remember that name, Alyssa, that was a great video.

I actually just recently made a similar decission, my wife wanted a GT500 vert and I really didn't want to spend the extra money (sticker or 7500 over sticker) so I purchased a 08 gt loaded vert at "A" plan and had the dealer install a supercharger and I'm getting ready to install the Roush front clip and spoiler. The car is currently a month old and has been in storage sice I took delivery. Good luck with your decision

I was considering the same thing once and put in an order for a GT 500. Then the dealer started screwing around with my order so I got a black GT convertible with everything and then bought all the Shelby body parts, painted them and had them on the car before I took delivery. I had Shelby wheels and tires put on as well and a light bar. I lowered the car with Ford Racing parts. (Even the GT 500 needs this mod because they sit up so high from the factory) I had stripes painted on and clear coated over. Shelby's have vinyl stripes that start to peel off after a while and collect white wax along their edges. I had a 500 horsepower Whipple hi output supercharger installed and the car is stupid fast. I think it will out handle a Shelby because it weighs so much less on the front wheels-Shelbys use a very stout but heavy iron block and Mustangs use and all aluminum block which is much lighter. The service guys think my car is much faster than the Shelby's they have test driven. The downside is that twenty years from now the Shelby will be worth a lot of money, modified cars like mine, not so sure. When I was all done I probably had $50,000 (in new parts and labor plus the original cost )in my car. Convertible GT 500s were going for $65,000 on ebay last year. Today probably $55,000 will get one from a desperate dealer. What I created was a close copy of the 40th anniversary car in black with titanium stripes, with plain (ie No "GT 500) titanium side stripes.

Bottom line--- I could not be any happier and everyone loves my ride.
