new to this side of the forums, but any who........ i currently have a 06 GT and i am thinkin of ordering a 08 Shelby GT 500......i would like to hear some inputs, pros and cons..... thanks

 

i want one too, good luck and i hope you
get it

 

pros:
hmmmmmm////still thinking
I guess it looks pretty good and is a mustang

cons:
dealer markup is over 20k, making it a 70,000 dollar car. Get ready to bent over.
It is a slow, heavy 70,000 car (not really much quicker than a pullied and tuned terminator)
for the same price, you could get a chevy zo6

Clearly, I would not buy one. If one was given to me, I wouldn't complain though. I think its more of do you have the money to **** away and do you really want it that bad? I could buy/build a way sweeter car for 70 grand. Just my opinions though.

thanks for the input......

 

how is it slow..if its the same speed as a pullied cobra...its obviosuly fast..u cant call it slow.

 

Its fast... its just what you compare it to. If you comparing it to the new Corvettes, then maybe its slow. If its compared to the GT's... then its hella fast. The body style just isnt my taste but they are really nice cars. Its possible they may not mark up as much on the 08's as they did for the 07's... but its still not gonna be cheap. Plus, they have a year to make any upgrades if there are any major issues's on the 07's. Good luck tho.

 

Exactly.....Its RELATIVLY slow. For having 500+ hp and costing nearly 70 grand, its slow.

could be scary fast find a way to lose weight and them it will be sick, still bad though i would take one. when the price goes down
