shelbydude: Are you sure about that production run? I recall reading in the press that 30,000 units would be made over a three year period, to include 2009. Some dealerships verbally confirmed that for me. Thanks for the clarification. Also, I recall from years ago that one wanted to avoid the California emissions package because it robbed a car of HP, gas mileage performance, and made it more difficult to keep tuned. Is that still true today? What states require the emissions package be sold?

WOW! my gt shelby 500 was built today! this forum i thought was about those cars. i paid list price for my car. i do NOT have a contract, but ihave the word of a dealer that i have dealt with since he bought a small local business. i'm more excited than you can ever imagine! im neither an engineer or race car driver, but this car (convertible) is HOT and fast. i've bugged the heck out of shelby's people and they have been nothing but super nice and helpful. OH YES! i walked away from a LARGE dealer because of 32000 reasons over invoice.

Replying to: fastforagirl (Feb 20, 2007 2:31 pm) The build date was 2/9/2007. It still doesn't show up in the dealer's inventory, but based on the build date of 2/9/2007 I would estimate the car should be there sometime in March. Possibly by the end of Feb., but typically it takes about a month to get after the build date. Mine was built on the 11th of the month and came in on the 31st, so you might just see it by the end of Feb. Our second GT500 is a Convertible and it was built on the 18th of Jan. It still has not arrived yet, but it is due any day now. Was suppose to be here already. But don't worry, it IS coming!

Replying to: rheller (Feb 19, 2007 6:19 am) As far as affecting HP or anything by having the emissions I don't know. Emission States are California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont. Cross-Border States are Arizona, Connecticut, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Rode Island. If you live in a State other than one of the Emission States where you are buying from a dealer located within an emissions State that dealer can order the car and delete the emission system. NOTE: In Maine and Vermont dealers can NOT order vehicles for customers in non-California emiison State locations (except Public Service/Emergency Vehicles).

Replying to: shelbydude (Feb 20, 2007 3:37 pm) If you live in one of the CA emission States and order from a dealer not in a CA emissions State where your vehicle will be registered in a CA emissions State then the dealer MUST order the vehicle with the CA emissions system. |

Thank you very much for the info, shelbydude. My hunt continues. I expect to make a commitment sometime within the next two weeks. It all depends on the DM. I'm not sure what to make of dealers who charge a DM based on what the market will bear vs those that do not. Supply and demand, I suppose. |
