Ok, been reading alot and looking around and I've found an 07 Shelby GT for $36K or I can get an 08 GT/CS (I like the package, what can I say) for $30K - these aren't out the door prices, still need tax etc

I'm just not sure what to do.

Great forum btw, enjoying the massive amount of reading and memeber's pics.

well I can be of some help here. About two months ago I walked away from a an 07 california special. I got it down to 26k 3.9% for 60 months. They had a shelby gt and wanted like 42, was way out of my price range. I would have gotten the c/s i just wasnt two crazy about to the tan and charcoal interior. So i passed. a bout 3 weeks later, im car hunting again. I was able to find a shelby gt and get it for 37,more reasonable. I am now soooo glad i passed on the c/s and got what i really wanted. I planned to get a c/s and mod it to look like the sgt. But now I got the real thing and couldnt be happier. All the money I would have spend on parts and labor would have put me up another 4000 or so. So the SGT in well worth it in my opinion

I hear you, I am looking at 08 GT or 08 GT500, out the door GT500 51850.00, out the door 08 GT 28,### out the door 08 Rouah 428R 46,480, The GT is fun drives nice and has a great feel,

I am wrestling with simular issues as you , I have had several mustangs, still have 92 5.0 LX, when all said and done I am having hard time seeing the value in the GT500, Roush and am leaning toward the GT and moding it myself,,, Good luchk to you

is it fully loaded? 36 doesn't sound that bad for a shelby gt. See if you can get a forum members x plan and save about 1000.

I say shelby.

MODDEDGTCS

I bought my '07 GT/CS in July for 27K, 3K under msrp. I spent that 3K on mods and have come up with a nice ride. By the time I spend 10K it will be supercharged and rolling on 20s. The dealer had a SGT parked next to it when I was looking but they wanted 10K over list for it. (I wasn't playing that game!) I might have bit at 36 though. My interior is 2-tone dark and light grey, I didn't care for the tan either.

well now I'm looking at an 07 Saleen vs the 07 Shelby GT. I decided not to go the GT/CS route, I love the CS package with the 2 tone interior but it's not going ot hold it's value like the Shelby GT or the Saleen. The Saleen is more than I wanted to pay ($44K) vs the $36K for the Shelby GT and that's enough of a difference to get a supercharger on the Shelby GT... I'm leaning toward the Shelby GT but I just don't know, I'm gonna have to convince the dealers to let me drive both and see what the difference is.

Shelby GT + Kenne Bell Supercharger FTW!

A Shelby will hold it's value more than a Saleen IMO.
