Replying to: bamford (May 22, 2005 6:39 pm) 400hp RWD vs est 450+hp RWD. That's about as close as you can get right now. The GTO stickers at like 33k right now. I hate it, but just trying to help out. I believe Edmunds recently did a comparison of it vs the 33k STi (STi won). Not that I'm trying to open up a bigger can, just pointing it out for those who'd like to read about it. Overall, I'm a former Mustang owner (95 base model) was my 3rd ride. Never really cared for it myself. I've always been a sucker for the 'look' of the old Shelby's, and the kits you can buy though! |

| If the Shelby is going to sell for around $40,000 then I am going to try to buy one. I think that it will hold its value well and with a supercharged 5.4 I don't think I will be modifying it too much. Maybe just add his and hers cup holders. Nah, scratch that; no eating in the car! | |

If you're like me and want info on the 2007 Ford Shelby GT500, then you're going to want to read this article found in C&D. http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=19&article_id=9638&page_number=1 |

| I just want to know if the new shelby will be in production for more than one year!! | |

It will be in production for more than one year. It can't just be a one year car. The following is from Motor Trend May 2005 pages 55, and 56: "Hau Tai-Tang, the 2005 Mustang's chief program engineer, was handed the reins at SVT last fall." "Visceral feedback from all driver inputs will be greatly increased; differentiated, yet well harmonized." "We won't hesitate to have you do a driving comparison against IRS-suspended competitors." - Hau Tai-Tang, the 2005 Mustang's chief program engineer. He is now in charge of SVT. |

| Love that video. I placed a large down payment on one of these cars in late March, 2005. This was the soonest (after the New York auto show) that I could find an SVT dealer willing to take a down payment on a car not yet released. With the new platform, knock-out retro looks, Shelby designation, and modern supercharged 5.4l drive line, Ford has hit a home run right out of the American ballpark. Comparisons and criticisms be damned, I feel like a 40 year old kid waiting for Christmas. I hope to be the first 2007 Shelby GT 500 owner who needs new rear tires. God Bless America, and rock-on, Ford. | |

I've seen posts here and elsewhere on the forums about people already on a waiting list. I've called 2 different major ford dealers in Oklahoma, each full SVT, Roush, and Saleen distributors, and each with Ford GT supercars in stock. They both said there is NOT a waiting list as of yet for the Shelby GT500. They did agree that one is slated for 2007, with delivery likely to begin late 2006. They didn't have a definite price or means of ordering yet. My question is: Are all these guys saying they're already on a list simply telling lies? Or (more likely) are they being lied to and being put on some phony list just to get their deposit money? I like the car and have the means to purchase it, but all I've been able to do is leave my phone number for when they can 'officially' make a list. Any feedback? Thanks all... chuckdoc
