I just got off the phone with Quentin at SVT. Currently they HAVE NOT started production. He advised that once they do the dealers should be able to place orders/take deposits. I already tried to put a deposit down at my local SVT dealer and they could not take it. Quentin advised that we should be able to place orders Jan-Mar of next year and they plan to have them delivered by Q4 of 2006. The dealers will not know in advance how many units they will be getting, nor will they be able to purchase extra units until all of the SVT dealers have their quota in stock. Production will run anywhere from 7000-9000 units.

That sure is a lot of GT500s running around. Just like our terminators. I think I better start on some basic filter and exhaust mods.

That sure shoots a hole in the foot of those dealers that are already telling people that their allocation is going to be only 1 or 2 cars and that they already have like 10 people on a waiting list.

if im not mistaken , isnt that about how many terminators they produced each year.
I know they uped the 03-04 about double over the 99-01's
i think cause the camaro left so they produced more of the cobras thinking they would ger more action.

I hope the 9000 is right, I want one, but I don't have 50k. 36k sounds good.

No, I think that there was an absurd amount of 03's made... like 12-13k. That's why they have lost thier azz in value. The 04's are far more limited though.

I spoke to the SVT team yesterday. He stated the production #s were going to be 6-9000 units. It would also be 14 months before production started. There would be no specifics until after the 1st of the year. ( allocation,horsepower or internal engine block components)

Your right, they over produced the 03's bigtime...and the 04 models were around 6000 units I believe, maybe less, I checked when I bought my 04, but I forgot the actual number. It was way less than the 10-14000 03's produced. SVT confirmed this for me at the time I purchased the 04.
