I went down to Walnut Creek Ford a couple days ago and saw their first GT500 on the showroom floor. WOW!... Great looking car. Black on black, stripe delete on both the sides and the top, just the shaker 500 system, sat-radio, and man does that thing look like a stealth machine. The mark-up was $25,750 and when I started laughing at the salesman about that he said and I quote, " yeah I know..." I had already spoke on the phone with the fleet manager about their supply coming in versus the number of people interested in the car at that time, and he told me they had "about 40" people in line. When I told the sales guy about that I turned around and said I dont see any of those 40 people here do you? He just kind of said yeah but that's the price the G.M has set. Oh well, price aside that car looks great and I really want one. I will buy one- but it wont be for a while I guess. Anyone local here should go take a peak, because that thing looks bad-ass!!

Wasn't thrilled with new Shelby till I saw it in Person.
* Dont like the Mustang GT mirrors on it, don't like the hood scoops, but other than that it's bad ass and awesome looking. When my 03 is paid off in 33 months I will be likely looking at getting one. Pictures simply don't do it justice. Once I saw it in person I knew I had to have one once I can get it for X-plan - maybe 3 years.
Here are some pictures I took with camer phone. Notice the 30K markup btw.

I went to our local Ford dealer and they want 40K extra on top of sticker; I couldn’t see the sticker because the car was behind plastic chains.
I asked if I could take a closer look, and they said they preferred that we didn’t cross the chains. I informed the salesman that I have an ‘04 Cobra, and he informed me that “this isn’t a Cobra, it’s a Shelby 500 GT”.
He wasn’t too happy when I laughed out loud about the +40K.
Anyway, nice car with presence, and the Cobra emblem is huge, 50% larger than the 03/04, despite it not being a Cobra……………..
I just sent the guy an offer of m.s.r.p. Think he'll respond??......
my brother went down and saw it in person. he said it was the ugliest color he has ever seen. he thought the striping clashed with the orange. white or black stripe would have been better.
also said one of the stripes is already starting to peel. i would offer msrp only if the dealer clearcoated the stripes.
My Grandma works at Mike Shad Ford in Jacksonville, Fl.
Apparently they asking sotin like $25K over MSRP, I hit the floor laughing when she told me. Last summer I was there and they had a Ford GT for $300,000. This is when people where startin to find them for MSRP or lower to boot...
I just sat in the showroom all day with her laughin my ass off.
IT's stupid how dealers do that crap.
Granted it's a fantastic car, but not $75K worth of fantastic....

This may have been posted here already, but I was reading that Ron Pratte, the man that paid $600,000 for GT500 #002 also picked up GT500 #'s 004 and 005 at the same time. One was a Grabber orange vert. and the other was a red coupe. Caroll signed both of those cars as well and personalized one of them for Ron's 1yr old son. The plan is to give the son the car on his 16th birthday!! I wonder if Ron received a deal on these two, or if he was subjested to the maket adjustments the rest of us are enduring. It still would have been a pretty cool experience picking these 3 cars up at once.

Bob Howard Ford has a white coupe w/blue stripes on the floor the sticker was 45k.I ask the salesman how much and some other salesman yelled in a rude manner "It's sold! 65k". The salesman i was talking ask if I would be interested in the other 3 they were getting in,I told him not above sticker and that I know they will come down as did my 03 cobra he agreed and stated he get me a good deal when production is up and hype dies a bit. the whole time he was talking to me he was leaning all over that presold 65k car

Are you talking about the grabber "orange", that looks alot like the color of urine? It is not easy on the eyes.
