Scotty2Hotty Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Deffinately won't play down the SS what so ever, but I'm pretty impressed with Livernois Motorsports GT800R version that's been running around. Evolution's turbo GT500 is well into the 9's already. I'm more impressed with a tune, intake and exhaust car putting 500RWHP down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt B. Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Shelby, Saleen, Roush, they can all suck a dick. I will be the first to appreciate them for what they have all done for Ford, and the Mustang in general, but come on, this is just greed, plain and simple. Shelby does this shit because he can. I've been to his factory out in Vegas, nice place, but seriously, to take a $25k GT, throw some shocks, springs, and a body kit on it and have the nerve to charge $15k over sticker? Capitalism at its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitalism at its best. ADM is absolutely retarded, but for the '07 to '09 they're non-existant right now. So you're calling a GT500 for $38k capitalism? Hardly! Wait wait wait...they make $80k mustangs? You have got to be shitting me This is the Super Snake. Let me guess... you didn't know that they make $100k Corvettes either? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye_gbkQZ-w4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Wait wait wait...they make $80k mustangs? You have got to be shitting me i think thats just the msrp....goodluck finding a gt500kr for 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 i think thats just the msrp....goodluck finding a gt500kr for 80 There are KR's for under $60k right now. Honestly... if you get a base GT500 for $38 grand, ship it off to SAI in Vegas and have it SS'd (for another 30k or so), you've got a good deal! Even the Ford GT's are selling for less. I think the moral of the story is... JUST DON'T WRECK THE THING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I am aware of them, didnt know it was $80k+ for it though. Ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 And $100k for a Corvette isn't any different? New vettes are pretty slick though. But yes, it isnt much different.

SicShelby Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Sorry I guess I needed to clarify that one, I was actually talking about the regular Shelby Mustangs that were being made, not the GT500's The Shelby GT's right (SGT)? Yes those are a little different. Still, the SGT package is maybe another $8k, and if you're an enthusiast, it's a small price to pay for something with Carroll's name on it. It adds suspension, a CAI (worth another 20hp), a short throw, and some other cosmetic goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SicShelby Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 NO Mustang in the world is worth $80k. I guess it just really depends on where your pocket book is. I would justify having an SS for $80k, that's for damn sure! More so then I would justify spending $70k for a ZO6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it probably boils down to what brand you appreciate more, and type of car you were trying to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong than, I don't really know Mustangs, does the SS still have a live rear axle ? good thing, since you would still owe 100k+ seeing as these go for 200k-300k+ Jesus Christ thats expensive, sorry I'd buy a Ferrari.

Now the ZR1 I imagine might outperform a 500SS, but that's not something that we've seen yet. I would LOVE to see that match up. It's very hard to find track info on the 500SS (0-60, g's, 1/4 mile times, etc). But, a Z06 wouldn't compare. http://www.shelbyautos.com/news.asp?id=15 Of course... if we're talking about the ZR1 and the true performance of both Chevy and Ford... that's when Ford's two-seater (the Ford GT) comes into play.
