BoneDoc Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think KR's are fine machines but I would take my SS any day of the week and twice on sunday. :happy feet: SS in my mind has a more aggressive look and is more powerful. overall more performance and more bang for buck. People keep saying KR is more rare? (not that I really care but) there are 1,000KR per model year starting in '08.... there will be UP TO 1000 SS made per model year. so how does that make KR more "rare"? ......And please don't damage your KR. the price of the hood was just reduced to a bargain basement price of $9,000 dollars!!! (from $16K) ... the front splitter is over $6k, the HOOD PINS are over $600. shameful. there are no such things as "fender benders" in KR's. I am amazed that anyone can afford to insure a KR. I do not mean any offense to anyone with a KR... they are beautiful machines to be sure... but I am happy with my SS and would not trade for KR if offered. (not that i am biased!!) :D bottom line: there is no bad choice here! enjoy your KR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as production, there were 1000 built in 2008 and 700 built in 2009.....none in 2010! Per Cynthia at SAI, there will be 1700 KR's and AT LEAST twice as many SS. As far as price, KR was $59,900....a 2010 GT500 is $50,770 and the SS package is $34,000 plus freight etc, almost $90K for a SS. As far as the repair items......I guess I can go back to a SS hood and front spoiler if needed and if prices on KR pieces are as you stated. But I agree with your last statement, both are nice and unique cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it to it's fullest. PLEASE DRIVR IT!!!!! Hard and often. Shelby was a racer and built the cars to race, so find a road course or drag strip to let it be in its natural habitat.

Do you remember me saying last December that the KR's would be in the high $50K's by summer and everybody said I was just frign crazy? I wasn't that far off after all, but I think my posted price was $55K. Good luck and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman007 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Luis A Blacked out 2009 KR with the Black Anodized Tanks and a Ford Racing TVS installed at SAI with the rear 6 piston brakes matching the front would be bad ass! Let us know what you do! Van Buy my 2010 at discount and SS it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
