3,950lbs! :chairshot

Like 100 pds more than my car and another 50 HP (probably about the same if you consider mine is 450 rwhp).

03s are listed as 3665 in Coupe form.... the GT500 has claimed 3950 in Coupe form.

Hmm, +285lbs... and a shittier weight distribution.

I have a great idea... FUCK THAT

Yep, but I don't know any 03s that pulled down $600,000.00

And thats a bad thing?

Just a random observation. May be an indication of the cars ability to hold some value. Obviously that's a freak amount, but there is a lot of buzz about the car. I think people are a bit premature to judge the car because of it's portly weight. It would be a lot more impressive if it was light like a vette. The 03/04 are quite heavy also.

Actually with the new Mustang I would be surprised if it doesn't out handle the 03 / 04 in the twisties with a lower / wider profile even if it actually does have a different weight distribution. If it had the extra weight of an IRS it would be a more even distribution but even heavier.

They are planning on making 7500 a year... its value might hold better than the 03s, but for a 40+K car in Coupe form and a Shelby name it should.

Hmm, 3815 test weight. 3665 is base Mustang weight. Has anyone actually had their 03 / 04 on the scales?

Word.... I wish they would have kept Shelby out of it, but it will probably make the cars worth more (new and used). My MSRP was 43K.

And the truth shall set you free. Now we need one of those pigs on the scale!

I will. If I wanted something that kicked ass on the open track I wouldnt have gotten my 03. I got it for what it is... a platform to make big power while still being streetable.

DAMN the orange looks sweet!

I know a certain Ford Dealership that is getting a couple

 

[Snowman]

After Shelby put his name on a K-Car I cant see paying for that name no matter what the price. If shelby was still an active race team it would be different. Like roush or saleen. Yeah Carroll did this and that way back before I was born but that really doesn't mean much today only to aging baby boomers. Once their done buying these cars the prices will settle down. How would you like to be the guy who paid 600,000 for a first year early model and have to get it towed back to the dealer because of some unforeseen glitch in the car? In front of all your freinds at the tennis club-

The 07 Shelby is unlike none of the current Cobra's as far as holding value.....Carol Shelby is a Mustang God and Legend....with the recent actions of Ford Motor Co. retroing the Mustang GT it was only RIGHT that they had Mr. Shelby put his name on one last Cobra before he left this world because Carol Shelby is now in his 80's and it is my opinion that the people at Ford Motor Co. where brilliant to have him put his name on a Cobra because its guaranteed a sale's success....I can't wait til we get ours at the Dealership

500HP....Why Heck...I got that at the wheels!

I have to go with "ShelbyGuy" on this one. The "NEW" Mustang is a manufacturer's cup winner for pete's sake. You don't get better than that.

The new GT 500 is going to be hard for me to pass up. Like what color, Oh such headaches, I am just greatfull I have my 03 to handle the hunt with.

That orange...Oh man Susie's right.

I think Vista Blue with Satin Stripes is still my Fav though, or is it White with Blue Stripes.

 

[Snowman]

I like the new Mustangs I just dont like the new Shelby.


Whats next a Lee Iacocca Mustang II retro?

 

[ShelbyGuy]

even a drag racer can understand that a better chassis with the same power will go faster.

I will. If I wanted something that kicked ass on the open track I wouldnt have gotten my 03. I got it for what it is... a platform to make big power while still being streetable.

That's funny...I remember those cars.....

 

[The Pun]

Fair Oaks called me last week since I was on the list for a GT500. They said they are "asking 20k over sticker" and I said "take me off the list"

Did I say drag racing? No.
