mrsuds Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'm wondering if that spoiler will be available aftermarket? I might make the change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I agree........................... I'm still really disapointed by the loss of the concept deck lid and spoiler with Shelby all of the way accross. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. We release news on new Ford models faster then Ford or SVT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 There's a draw-back on that though..... If you're an impatient bugger like me. Information on the Shelby GT500 flows likee molasses. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 That's true. We release news on new Ford models faster then Ford or SVT? Actually, I think that D/C has introduced more models in this time than Ford has released info on this one car! Does that make sense??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGT500 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Actually, I think that D/C has introduced more models in this time than Ford has released info on this one car! Does that make sense??? Ford is more conservative then D/C. And it is all about marketshare. Be secretive as possible and you win curiousity. There is a drawback on that too. If you eventually introduce the car, a lot of people will be dissappointed as it will not reflect the rumors it created in the first place. Does this make sense?

crispy23c Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Yes it does. Just wish they would release some more information! Time to order is sooooon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpretzel Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Yes it does. Just wish they would release some more information! Time to order is sooooon!! I just saw the following post on stangnet today: "Yesterday's broadcast from Ford had information about bunch of new models and line ups for 07 , and they took 1 minute to mention this about Shelby: " 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 production will start early June for a late July release. EVERY Ford-dealer gets at least ONE unit. Dealers with PRESIDENTS award get a SECOND one. That's the plan for the "first batch". Total production units 7500. Exact price still unknown, but somewhere around mid 40's "" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdude Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 If MSRP is mid 40s plus gas guzzler tax, that would be a deal killer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I believe the other info, but the mid-forties is the vert, not the coupe. I still believe pricing will not change from the projected values, $40k cpoupe, $45k vert. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy23c Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Me three. What about the 7500 production number? I thought it was 10K... Every dealer gets at least 1? Is that for sure??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kepfordj Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I saw that the other day but didn't put to much credit to it. It seemed to be about a month out of date. Ford more than likely is still trying to get a handle on how many to produce to meet demand. They are in the bussness to sell cars so coming up short on demand is not in their best interest.

You are absolutely correct. IMO, I think they should announce somewhere around 10k...and build as many (or close to it) as are ordered, per HTT. That would be great (and stop the dealer mark-up in its tracks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I expect that 10k would probably max out thier production cpability anyway, considering that they are building the GT500 on the Mustang production line. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra. I think there is room for 10k at AAI. In 2005 they wanted to increase Mustang production because of demand. In the end less Mustangs were produced then anticipated. So there is some room. And otherwise they have to skip some Maaaaaaaaaaazdaaaaaaaaaaas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
