+1 I think the gt500's from the factory def need some work haha. I don't like how they come in 4X4 mode. sports cars just shouldn't look like that....no offense.

The GT500 is, shall we say, civilized from the factory .
A few Dollars in mods will separate the men from the boys though...

very true, the car has so much potential and doesn't require too much cash to get it to where it needs to be.

But at 70k we should expect more! ....I know the $$$ has come down since the "spike", but no reason they can't be produced like the S/GT's for that kind of money! Can you image is a Z06 looked like a GT500....

70K wasn't set by Ford...
The dealers greed kinda gave a false idea of the car.
At $45/47 now, it's a better buy than the Z06 IMO.
You have then, $20K to improve the car, no brainer for me.

like i stated b4 in another thread i dont thing the Z really stands out from a normal vette...like if u saw them both driving from afar...it takes a second 2 tell what it is...but with a GT and a 500 you can tell from a mile aways which one is coming...even with the stripe delete...they def got the mean looks down from the factory...but yes they do need 2 be lowered which i am currently in the process of... but pascal is right with a little cash these cars can be made perfect!

My point was that at that kind of $$$, you shouldn't have to put out more $$$ to lower the car, caster/camber plates & all the little things! They add up very quickly ...Its a sports car that's not going to get driven in the winter!

They Shelby GT500 should have the stance of the Z from the factory IMO

I agree with you there.
The car doesn't go to the Shelby facility, only the KR.
So since it's SVT Ford, they didn't bother to correct the F150 look at the back and all the little things that you mentioned.

It's kinda like: make up your mind! Are we building a bad *** car or are we not!

Back to the original question, yeah that looks like a good deal. I don't think they'll go much lower.....
