Not sure if this is the right place, but I figure some of the current S197 owners thinking about trading up might like to see the cost to build there new dream...

i built one and it would cost me 41K...for a frakking GT yikes!

 

lol 39 grand for me

 

MSRP to MSRP the new one would cost me $1115 more than my 2010. I could live with that for the additional HP. It's still cheaper than a S/C.....

 

Mine came out to 39,460 More than twice as much as i paid for my current car lol.

I think Ill just pay mine off and mod. Or........... save for the Mustang RTR(not carbon), hmmm

 

Anyone else find it odd that you couldn't get the brembo's on the CS? Or the fact that the brembo's didn't cost ANY extra?

 

$31,225 for one that has all the same options as my 2007. Not really that bad IMO all things considered. In a year when all the year end rebates are out these will be affordable.

 

Eh a base GT cost what I paid for my car and mine had leather and all the goodies except navigation.

 

That's really interesting that they don't start you off with the base rims/wheels if you select a GT. You have can "downgrade" them and save money. Also, that they have the Cal Special already; I would have thought they would have waited a few years down the road for that.

$39,935 for a GT convertible that's equipped like mine, except the 2011 would have heated seats and a glowing word "mustang" in front door sill (which I admit is actually kind of cool). Oh, and the 2011 would be a manual.

I think my car stickered for like $35, $36k when I got it in 2008. That's like a 4.5k price jump. Kind of steep, but you pay to play, I suppose?

I'll stick with my baby though. Effectively, it would cost me the difference between a 2011 model and the residual value of my car to move up. And that's like $20k more.

Although one thing I didn't notice - where was the option to change the gear ratio? I'm pretty well stuck with the 3.31's from factory according to hte website.

 

Built mine and it would cost me a hair under $43,000, yikes. That's more a little more than double what I got mine for.
