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

| I've heard that there will be more high performance Mustangs besides the 2007 Ford Shelby Cobra GT500. Perhaps a lighter GT350 will be made. | |

Replying to: chuckdoc (Jul 12, 2005 7:19 am) The first time I spoke with my local dealer, (who is SVT) he assured me I was the first one to even ask about this car and told me I was #1 on the list. I called him a week later to show my seriousness and to discuss a deposit and he tells me they already have 4 bought and paid for and 4 others that had paid a substantial deposit, So now I would be #9 on the list. What a jerk! How do they even know they will get that many?? How can they have 4 bought and paid for when no one even knows what sticker price will be? I want one of these cars so bad but if the game is gonna be whoever can come up with $50,000 18 months in advance, then I guess I should just go buy a new Mustang GT! Thanks for listening, John
