RE: WOW!!! 2008 GT500 KR
I don't think the Super Snake counts as stockexactly. You have to provide them with your GT500 (that you already own) and for $12,000 they make it a Super Snake. All fine and dandy, but if you take the 750 HP package, you have to give up your warranty.
So intstead of stock, I'd call it something like "Highly dealer-modified, non-warrantied, ridiculously expensive car"

ESTIMATED MSRP $65K, look for $99,999.00 off the lot. (maybe more) How many "specialty Stangs" do the MUSTANG fans need ?
ROUSH
SALEEN
Parnelli Jones'
GT 500
Shelby GT
etc...etc...etc... That's like 18 or so models above the GT, shoot maybe after it's all said and done, OUR cars will be the collectibles !!JK
Seriously, though, I'm glad this has become such a frenzy, and the competition has not yet caught up. I wonder why FORD is bringing it out in Spring of 08, while they should be waiting, and introducing it with thenew 09 styling.

RE: WOW!!! 2008 GT500 KR
Ok, when can I order one, and how long will the wait be. Some guy in Delaware waited 18 months for a Shelby GT500 conv. SO I thinking waht, 2 years. And the dealer only did a $5000 mark up. But to order you needed to but $5000 down.
Would be nice, wouldn't it.

Go BACK and read the MT article, 2nd page big block at the bottom, then tell me what you see for base price.

RE: WOW!!! 2008 GT500 KR
I think this is the paragraph he is talking about with the base price........
Buyers will order the KR through Ford dealerships. The cars will begin life as GT500s (though with the lower 3.73:1 rear axle and short-throw shifter factory-installed) before being shipped to Shelby's Las Vegas facility for engine and other mods. Ford and Shelby will build just 1000 examples. The GT500KR is still too far off for final pricing, but given its fancy carbon-fiber body pieces and other refinements, it's a safe bet that it'll start in the mid-$65K range. (GT500 owners will be delighted to know that Shelby will also offer many of the KR's upgrades in aftermarket kit form.)
If it was in the 40s it would be too much for me!! lol It doesnt hurt to dream......one of these days.....something about that car just POPS for me!!!!! [sm=drlove.gif]
