71sixpack Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 There is an error in the YouTube video. The vid listed as "Non SVT" is a non-Shelby dash, as the car lacks the cobra on the steering wheel. The order guide lists a dash unique to the SVTPP car, above what's on the Shelby w/o SVTPP. The mystery continues The details mention it as a difference in the gauge cluster (Track Apps maybe?). One thing I noticed on the website was that the Shelby dash looks black, and lacks the silver finish panels the 2010-12 Shelbys and Premium Package GTs had. I know on another thread it was mentioned the dash finish was a silver block type finish but the Ford build and price images don't show that. I also noticed the 2013 GT500 at the local auto show had the Cobra snake embroidered in white on the Recaros, where as on my 2012 the snake embroidery is black and blends in with the recaro headrest portion. It will be interesting to see what the actual production car is equipped with. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlock Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 It's called loosing sales to GM. While I understand the GT500 has a beast of a motor many would find the ZL1 to be the more complete car at it's base price. As nice as the new GT500 is the car is still based on the old 2005+ platform and greenhouse so for me the excitement is wearing off quickly. Don't confuse "losing sales" with "losing profits". Much of the mix where Camaro is outselling Mustang is in the meaningless, low-margin trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 You won't see an increase in value on used vehicles. Agreed, from what I have seen the price of the earlier ones have gone down. They have been selling $15K or more under MSRP with under 5000 miles, if they paid MSRP that is $3 a mile the first owner paid, crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to agree with this, I DO think the upgrades are worth the price difference, just can not believe you can load up a Vert to just about $70k. I guess maybe I should think different, I have $60K plus in my car so that almost makes this a Great price. But I do like mine is very very rare and I do not need more power than what I currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
