I had a 06 GT Mustang pull in this morning while I was getting gas and he wanted to look at my Shelby. He claimed that he wanted to buy one, but couldn't pay the high premiums in our area. He opted to wait and see what the dealers would want for the new 07 GT Shelby and the 08 GT 500 next year. He claims that the dealers in our area are now selling their allotments of the new 07 GT Shelby's and the dealers he's contacted all want $25K and up over sticker. I know there would be a premium, but didn't know they would be higher than the GT 500's were. He also told me which I didn't know that most dealers are charging a order premium of $5K if you want to order a new GT Mustang. These dealers are making a killing on us Mustang owners. I wonder if because Shelby's crew are finishing these 07 GT Shelby's if that's why their more money? Has Ford announced the prices yet? I'm glad I don't have to ever worry again. I have all the toys I need. It's too bad and I feel bad for anyone who wants to own one, but can't because of the premiums. It's not right.

Replying to: shelbydude (Oct 20, 2006 4:34 am) Once the price got around $50-55k, I started thinking about a Vette instead -- better, faster car (am not attached to the Mustang thing like some guys). The whole appeal of the GT 500 was that it was supposed to be under $40k. Still digging my '05 GT Premium (w/ manual, of course), but know that it won't be long before I get a Vette (can't decide between a C06 and Z06 ... if only I could test drive each).

Drove my Shelby tonight to work and realized I now have 1,400 miles on it all ready. Driving it on the second week of November in New England is unspeakable on most years, but the weather has been very good to us so far. I am very pleased to this point. I washed it this past weekend with the new Mr. Clean car wash and was very pleased with the results. Small dislikes to this point are the key ignition. Is anyone else having trouble inserting their key to start the car? There are times I have to wiggle it back and forth to get it in, (easy). Hope I never have to make a fast get away. HA! HA! The clutch is quite an adventure. Most take off's I have been much better of late, less chatter. Also I have noticed that a few times when I start my Shelby the stereo Shaker 1,000 kicks off from the CD to the radio. Anyone else having this problem? On one of these times I was unable to get it back onto the CD option until I shut the radio off and waited a while. Where is everyone else at for mileage and what do you think so far? I give mine a straight A.
