Sticker shock!

- Start date
Mine was stickered for 41.5.
Best bang for the back is the 11-12 Shelby's w/ aluminum block. Imo buy one of them and put a vmp tvs on it and your ready to roll...That's my move within the next 2yrs.
Well i don't feel so bad here in Canada a fully loaded vert was 76000 here.
I like your thinking:rockon:
wow thats crazy.............76 k
If I had the $ (and NO Cobra) I'd make an offer on this one...

This was my thought process too, except I want a 200 mph car....:shrug:
Damn you 200mph option!!
This is one of my frustrations with the GT500, and while I have no problem paying that kind of money for a car. I just think that $70,000 introduces other possibilities into the picture for some other new cars , and for others used cars built right. The next gen car is reported to cost even more, and quite frankly I think they will lose traditional Mustang buyers. I remember working for Ford when the price of a new GT500 was $43,000.
So I am considering a 2011 or 2012 with the SVTPP, and adding a Griggs GR40 kit with Watts link as well as the OEM 2013 GT500 blower or the VMP TVS.

This..... Exactly what I've been thinking.
My 03 cobra was msrp of $34,995 including the $1000 gas guzzler tax and that was 10 years ago. When the gt500 came out they were in the low 40's and it's gone up every year since. I hope ford doesn't do what toyota did with the supra in the 90's and price it so high, the people who can afford the car have no desire to own a car made by ford or Toyota. I'm not a supra fan boy by any means but I want to the mustang to be around for at least another 50 years!! I will wait a few years and hopefully pick one up used in the high $30 to low $40K range.
Plenty of people are getting these for sticker, they start at around $54K and work up to $64K loaded out.
Still expensive for most people. But you do get a whole lot for your $$$.
I chose to go new 5.0 and power adder. Plus I got the auto, that you can't get in the GT500 or Boss.
It still amazes me that this is even offered. I remember when 225 HP engine in the old 5.0's felt fast! LOL.

:lol: Me too! Those were the fastest thing on the streets at that time - wow have times changed! Now the v6 models put out that same power.:lol1:
the v-6s put out more power
Yeah, these things are definitely getting pricey. Especially when you consider that they'll drop around 25K in value over the next 5 years. Is any car worth 5K/year in depreciation? Oh yeah, and during those 5 years Ford will release an all-new GT500 which will be lighter, faster, and have a substantially upgraded rear-suspension.
I've seen a few pics of in front of members' houses and a few of these are a significant % of what their houses are worth, at which point you have to question peoples' financial priorities. To each their own though...I'm still debating...

I'm hearing Alaska and Hawaii $85+..
they are expensive, but comparatively not terrible. Just remember how bad the mark up was on the 07 gt500 when it first came out, dealerships were selling them for $80k. Then the KR came around and dealerships were trying to sale them for around $90-100k. Move forward to now you get twice the car for between $65k and $76k. not bad I suppose.
I think I would rather just find a Terminator in decent shape, get a bad ass paint job, and throw a motor like the one in your signature in it...that looks like heaven!
