Replying to: akirby (Feb 13, 2007 9:30 am) Over all we are talking about 1 lb of weight per every lb of torgue difference. It will also depend on drivers. Also, with minor modification you can more than make up the difference for weight, HP and torque.

Replying to: akirby (Feb 13, 2007 11:47 am) And a fully loaded Z06 has an MSRP of $77,925 VS a fully loaded Shelby GT500 with MSRP of $45,060. Only a difference of $32,865. Add less than $2,000 of modifications to the Shelby and for $30k less you have a better looking car that will smoke the Z06 hands down! Even if you paid a $15k - $20k premium to buy the Shelby you still have a better looking car and after modifications you are still $10k - $15k ahead and have a car that will smoke the Z06! Even if you go with a stripped model of the Z06 at $70k you are still ahead with a modified Shelby that will smoke the Z06 after paying a $15k - $20k premium!

I finally nailed down a local Ford dealer today to agree to sell me a 2008 GT 500 for 5G above MSRP. The caveat is that I am number 5 on the list (the other four already put down their 5G), and the dealership is guaranteed only two vehicles for the year. They MIGHT get allocated more and one or more above me on the list MIGHT back out. If I don't get the opportunity to buy the 2008, then I would move up the list for a 2009, assuming the GT500 is made for the 2009 model year. I think the dealership was disappointed I didn't cut them a check for 5G (the required deposit) before I left. I told them to contact me when they could guarantee getting me one, and then I would provide the deposit. Another thought occurred to me. What if the dealership goes belly up or is sold? What would happen to my 5G deposit? Seems to me that 5G should be held in some sort of escrow for safety sake. Am I being too cautious here? Perhaps this is an indication that I may eventually be able to swing a similar deal with another dealership that can give me a better guarantee of delivery.
