Well, this is one time I would like to be wrong, but my info comes directly from Ford. I work for a Ford dealer and I have a Shelby on order for myself. I would love to get mine sooner as well. One thing I have learned is that you can never depend on what Ford says. They change things constantly. Here they have a great car coming out, limited production, open order banks to get your orders in, yet no pricing and no color charts available. Pricing is suppose to be released by the end of May. It was suppose to be released by the beginning of May. Color charts are suppose to be in dealerships by the end of June, yet most orders have been placed already. What sense does that make??? That's FORD for you! Always behind the eight ball! So if you choose one of the new colors you choose it without seeing exactly what it will look like on the car. I was interested in the new Alloy color but I went with the Vista Blue with white racing stripes. What color did you get?

So how many of you Shelby wantabe owners are paying more then MSRP. My dealer is telling me a minimum of 20K over sticker. While I put my 5K down for the right to order one I have yet to go and pick the color and options. I will be doing that this weekend.

The conv. will come with strpes on the side. No stripes over the top. But you have to order it with stripes or choose to delete the stripes. Along the bottom of the sides it will have a stripe with the GT500 in it unless this was ordered with the delete option.

We are getting two. They are being sold for $750 over MSRP to cover the $1500 enrollment fee to get the car. One is mine and one is sold to a customer of the owner. There are some DEALERS that are offering $20k over just to buy up allocation from other dealers. So that means they have buyers willing to pay a lot more to get one.

So when my dealer tells me that I will have to pay 20K over MSRP then that's what I am going to have to pay if I really want this car?
What are your thought's on waiting till I can get one for MSRP? Or are there ever going to be a day when that will happen?

The Hardtop will have side stripes and racing stripes over the top. The Convertible will not have racing stripes over the top but you can get it with side stripes. The side stripe will have "GT500" in it. Go to this link and look at the pictures. http://www.svt.ford.com/gt500/index.html

There is a couple of things I don't understand. Everyone is complaning about the GT500 selling for Over MSRP. If the car has an MSRP of $40k and you pay $30 over, the cost to you is $70k. Yet I don't see any one complaining about the ZO6 Corvette selling for an MSRP of $70k+. If ford had priced the GT500 at $70k and forced dealers not to sell them for a penny over MSRP, we would all still be lined up to buy one. Ford makes the money or the dealer makes the money who cares. I'm sure we all agree that this car has 10 times the history of the new ZO6. If anyone wants my dealership has Two on order one coupe and one convert.

Spoken like a true salesmen. You can't compare a Vet ZO6 with a new Shelby GT 500. Hey believe me if I could afford it I would hands down have chosen the Shelby. This car was promised to be (for the consumer) under $40,000. I think we all figured it would be slightly over that mark ...But not by $30k. That and that alone forced me to turn to a competitor for my performance needs after being a Ford person forever (GTO, and not a bad little car either) and maybe in the future be able to pick-up a used Shelby.
