    Thinking about ordering a '07 V6.... Any reason not to?

    I was holding out for a shelby to be my first mustang but since thats not gonna happen I too am thinking about buying a 2007 V6 for the wifes DD and waiting till 2008 for the toy car. She wants the windveil blue and It just doesnt seem to make any sense from insurance, gas etc to got GT instead...

    Only 7000

    Actually I see the demand but where is the supply? So much for the whole well build enough for everyone that wants one statment. Seriously sounds like the dealers are either A. Flooding the order banks already so as not to get left out. B. They pulled that number out of their Arse. Considering...

    Priced too high

    You hit the nail on the head 351CJ, however the problem with eliminating the fleet side is the US automakers need the volume to keep their plants/union workers gainfully employed. They have to negotiate every reduction in workforce and its just easier to pump out the volume even if it doesnt do...

    Ford Corporate Response to Price Gouging by Dealers

    Im with you on that Joe, at least if ford was making the higher profits maybe my stock would go up and I could afford to pay it! Of course since there is no official word yet on the MSRP who knows what that magic number is going to be?:shrug:

    Ford Corporate Response to Price Gouging by Dealers

    Not to burst anyones bubble, but they arent going to build enough to meet this kind of demand. Because of parts issues year one is most likely to be in the 7,000 range, 2008 will not exceed 10,000. fords own reps came out and stated that they want to keep the numbers low because that lends...

    Finally some info from FORD about GT500!!!

    Do you have a link for that statement from ford? If thats the case then this would deviate from what they had said earlier. I dont see any mention of it on any sights I have been to but I didnt see the broadcast either.

    How long till we get msrp? (estimate)

    Im with you on this one SVT Vert, I dont see the demand cooling much considering this is a two year run, better to get in early, maybe take a hit, than to miss the boat entirely. I am sure there are a bunch of people like me that put off a new car (In my case a 2005 Mustang GT) to wait for this...

    Premium prices

    As I have stated previosly, the problem here is that this is a once in a lifetie situation as far as being able to purchase a new shelby mustang. The fact that its a well received body style lends itself well to the throwback-always wanted a shelby cowd, It has the most announced hp of any...

    How long till we get msrp? (estimate)

    Two things to watch out for, this may only be a two year run, no committment beyond that, also what do the final build numbers look like? If its 7,000 a year and demand remains hot I dont see this being a very obtainable car in either model year for MSRP.

    Shelby $15,000 over MSRP

    Im with you on this one mark, considering we are mere days from the official announcement there is know way in he!! they can claim they still dont know. The speculation will serve to drive interest through the roof though!

    Shelby $15,000 over MSRP

    Heres the thing though, its only supposed to be a two year run. If thats the case and the second year is limited as well (which is what was reported to be the case) when exactly is the demand supposed to fall off where you could actually get one for MSRP? I would have bought into that idea if...

    new Challenger

    now that you mention it, They did the exact same thing when the redesigned their Ram pickup in the 90's waiting until after Ford had committed to their redesign of the F150, and even had a real so/so concept that they had making the circuits, then the next thing you new they had several years of...

    new Challenger

    That Mustang concept isnt to far off what they produced, the Charger concept looks like an updated dodge stealth, wished they had built it instead. All I want to know is when I can bring that new challenger home, have to alternate weekends between the mustang and the challenger!

    Ford to cut 4,000 white-collar jobs

    Part of the problem is the business practices of fleecing the buying public on a new car, Uniform pricing should be the standard but with the exception of maybe Saturn you have to be a master negotiater to feel like you got a good deal on a new car. That said, the American auto industry makes a...

    Question about backseat usability

    I guess thats why dodge made the charger a 4dr. A muscle car for people with kids. :shrug:

    4th month in a row of lackluster Mustang sales

    In my view all comments about the size/interior aside there are only two things hurting mustang sales. Price and availability. There simply have never been enough GT's in the pipeline, most people will not order a car when they are in the market for a new car, they are ready to drive home with...

    GT or GTO?

    I am just not at all impressed by the looks of the GTO. Sure the numbers are impressive and I keep taking second looks to see if it will "grow" on me but it hasnt. The mustang on the other hand is a thing of beauty! However, the solstice is one hot looking little roadster, especially in green...

    Factory shelby V6?

    So is there going to be a factory option for a shelby v6? Having been to the shelby website it seems like maybe a chop job they do to a regular v6 but from what I have read it seemed this may be an alternative to the GT500 for 07 straight from the factory. Anyone know the answer or have an idea...
