2011 Shelby GT500 SVTPP Exposed
#15
I kinda sorta agree. The dealership that I got my GT500 from still has an '09 GT500KR and the back end of it just does not match the car at all now that the new body is out. It looks wimpy compared to the rest of the car. And it's still expensive. It's been on the lot (started in the showroom) for 2 years. Original price was over $80K. Now it's down to $69K. Collectible or not, I don't think anybody's going to buy it. Why buy that w/ 540HP when you can get a newer, lighter, possibly better overall performing GT500 w/ 550HP? Well, you could buy a GT500. Now that production has stopped and there's very little availability of the '11 GT500, you'd have to wait quite some time before the '12s come out. If someone goes to the lot with a hankering for a GT500 and "just gotta have one," they might spring for it. Afterall, it is an actual Shelby finished at Shelby American, Inc. and not just a Mustang GT w/ Shelby licensed stuff poured on. (jab!) Otherwise, I think that dealer needs to cut his losses and send it to auction. If he's that desperate to still make money from it, he can send it to Barrett-Jackson or Mecum's. Then he might actually turn a pretty penny.

I remember when I got in my 2005 Saleen for the first time, after nearly 6 years of owning my 98 Cobra, I was blown away by how big a step forward it was. It was much more comfortable, better looking and laid out, plus it was 100% more quiet.
I won't even talk about the comparison between the Fox to my SN95.
Now, the 2010+ interior is even better STILL, but now that we've had a taste of the good life we want more. (Myself included.) I love what they've done and after having seen the interior of the new 2011 Explorer, I'm thrilled with where they're taking the interiors for ALL of the cars.
If one gets better, that means they ALL get better, eventually.
