Don't know about colors or options or pricing.....but I was told by someone that was told by SAI that they are contracted to build 8,000 cars for 08. What that 8,000 consists of I don't know. It could include the KR, Hertz cars, SGT's and who knows what else. So I would suspect a SGT Vert would be part of that.

 

Add $5k to the cost for a vert.

IMO SAI has the opportunity to build a GT350, 4.6 forged internals with SC all standard. The car would be a rocket that handles like it's on rails. One fast pony, one year deal with not a single unit sitting at a dealership for sale. Could be more desirable than an 08 GT500.

This was just posted by a dealer on the Shelby Forum: ATTENTION CRISPY

Seems Ford and Shelby are going to build 2200 2008 SGT's. Coupe & Convertible (about 1400-1500 conv)

One color only......Vista Blue with silver stripes.

 

08 SGT Coupe SAI (Shelby mark-up) $9500 (up from $8390)

08 Conv SAI mark-up $11,800

 

randy

--------------------------------------------

Program Detail:

 

Manual transmission (Free Demand)

Automatic transmission is not a “must use” but will be controlled to a maximum of 25%

2008MY Shelby GT will only come with the polished 18" Bullitt wheel

54U upfitter option price will remain the same but air bags are no longer part of option (now standard on '08MY Mustang

Dealer billing will remain the same as 2007MY. Dealer P&A account will be billed for Shelby Modification upon gate release

MSRP will appear on separate Shelby window sticker

Based on dealer feedback, expect ~ 70% mix of convertibles (give or take 10%)

All units will be produced prior to Job #2 (June 25, 2007 until no later than Nov 30, 2007)

Well I'm elated of the vert news news. :car:

 

Now my question are:

- When can one actually be placed into order entry

- Who's the best dealer in Oregon to deal with.

 

Grabber helped me out with some detail 6 months or so ago...perhaps he'll chime in if he's not driving around in the Pacific NW sunshine somewhere. :)
