Default GT or wait til the 500?

Would you guys wait for the new shelby cobra to come out, or go with the GT sooner? How much of a difference is there?

Thanks.

You will be real lucky if you will even be able to get your hands on a Shelby. If you are able to find one be ready to pay way over sticker.

If you wait that doesn't mean you'll get one, you may have to wait longer. All Shelby's are spoken for out here...[&o]

build your own.

will it be worth something one day...sure. so if you want a collectors piece that you cant do anything to then try and buy one. if you want a fast car that you can drive and have fun in, build your own...easily done.

dont get me wrong, would love to pick one up and put it away to sell it one day at barret-jackson when i'm like 80 years old so i can spend the money on some 22 year old bombshell...but

If - - - - you could your hands on one of the 7,000 Shelby GT500 which are being made, expect to pay well over the sticker price of $42,000...

I have heard $60,000 to $75,000 is going to be the price, if you even get a chance to buy one...

Limited production vehicles always command a price which is very much higher than the sticker price when they first come out...

Don't you think that if you and a doctor come into the dealership to buy this car, and the salesman says "the doctor is ready to give me $75,000 for this car" that he won't sell it to him and reject your offer of $45,000...

COME ON -- GET REAL!!! Unless you know someone or are related to the owner of the dealership, STOP DREAMING..................
