I like the PJ but for an MSRP of 61k wow, I paid 48k otd for my GT500, But both car are very nice Id love to see a PJ inperson
Most of the people buying the GT500s are buying them as a "collectors car" even though I dont think they will be one at least not for many years. We got ours because its a sweet car and they can be made extreamly fast for extreamly cheap. We love our Shelby and wouldnt sell it for anything in the world.
My reason for getting the GT500 was i am big fan of what can be done with botl-on's to the supercharged ford. When i found out that the 5.4 was going in i new it was for me. The power to $$ ratio is out of this world. Some cars are picking up 50-60 hp with tunes only and add pulleys and cia and a good tune putting down 560+ to the ground. KB Has there blower coming out that with a stock 3" pulley put down over 600 rwhp. This sould be as much fun as the 03-04 guys had
That's great, I spent a quarter of what you spent, it you really did? Guess what, I can hang with you, and with about 1K spank you. So, have fun with that 70k investment!
check out SSlither's new CT. applied that earlier today. :SNSign:

I agree with you elburrito99. I've tried to make this point many times before. Whenever 6,000 of any vehicle are made, it is NOT a collectable, never will appreciate in value.
Only 14,368 Shelby Mustangs were built from 1965 to 1970. And the only Shelby Mustangs that command really big prices are the 1965 GT-350, because only 562 of them were made and the 1968 GT-500KR because only 1,251 of them were made.
how can a car be classified as a collector car if there not limiting production? even in the future i dont think they will be worth half as much as those limited production cars ie. saleen pj. but i still want a GT500 as soon as the prices come down.
It all depends. My 87 GN is worth twice what sticker was. It wasn't exactly a limited production car.
Limited production does not always equate to higher collectability.
GN? grand national? how much did it cost? im not sure but not too long ago when i was thinking about getting one i could find plenty at 6k to 8k with out a problem.
