am i the only one who thinks the gt500 is not worth the money and your just paying for the name?

Nope, I totally agree.

dealerships made a deal with the devil so they could sell cars for working class people for almost twice the price. they should have just been sold from shelby or someone who wouldnt mark the price up

Exactly. Dealerships are ruining the Shelby name and belief. [Frown]

Yeah they suck ass for the price!

Shelby is worth every penny if the dealerships didn't mark them up 35k
 
Posted by eljefe (Member # 1753) on :
 
it's sure as hell worth 45k, but not much more
now is it worth 60k and up...only if you can afford it and if i could you bet your ass i'd have one

Total cost to own is about 70K

If I could afford one I'd have one too. No worse then the Z06 going for 80k+

IMO, the ZO6 is one of the best bang for the buck cars out there...

7 Liter pushrod motor..... I'll pass. I'll take the blown 331.

You cant compare the new Z06 to a GT500, no comparrison. The Z06 would run circles around the GT500 all day long.

weight ratio-power to the wheels. I think the vette wins. except for the turbo all wheel drive cars. ah ohhhh.

The problem is that as long as people keep paying these outragous prices then the dealers will continue to mark them up. It's all about supply and demand. Look at the PS3. Why the fuck would anyone pay 5g's for one???? Appearently there are people who did.

I predict that the prices will come down quite a bit as production numbers increase and all the "I gotta have this thing now" people get their cars.

I think they are worth the $45k sticker price but not the markup [patriot]

They are worth sticker but no more. I agree the price will come down, especially when other special edition Mustangs come out.

Take a ride in one!!! Worth every bit of 45k.

The price will come down. There will always be mark ups on hot commodities until supply catches up with demand.
 
Posted by lostsoul (Member # 5797) on :
 
agreed.. not worth the 20K over msrp but if you can get close it would be nice. Throw intake smaller pully and good tune and you will be at the 600hp or more mark baby!

I want the motor.
