The rear of the current Mustang is definately too tall and bulky looking, especially in relationship to the short front overhang. If the belt-line is lowered with the current roofline intact, the side door glass will be taller - not really a good tradeoff. Maybe the rear could be made less bulky...

My thought is that you 'in my opinion' are truly an A****LE. Of course my opinion may be skewed by the fact that I own one of those cars you describe as an eyesore. As for the beltline on the current Mustang being too high to have the 'hips' this is a customized 2007 with '69 look which looks...

So is the demand for GT500s still far exceeding supply? Any idea what MSRP for the Bullitt edition will be? Seems demand for the Shelby GT has weakened - I saw two new 2007s listed on E-Bay with a 'Buy it Now' price in the $35-36k range (way below MSRP). In that environment I don't...

I think you have to be considering how the car may be perceived by collectors/enthusiasts in 15-20 years. The thing is, a lot of people that bought these recent Shelbys for way over MSRP will go to sell them much sooner for one reason or another, and as Jenns01TA said, are likely going to be...

I think the car wouldn't have been too hard to sell had he allowed it to go for MSRP when he first received it. The cars I was watching on e-bay recently are not expecting anywhere near $9k over MSRP and can't sell, so it seems the high prices have turned off potential buyers. As far as...

I recently looked into the action for the Shelby GTs on E-Bay. Of course, many of you know how these were marked up as much as $10k over list when they first came out. Now it seems they can't even get MSRP for them. One dealer had theirs listed at a Buy it Now price of $38150 (what they stated...

Sure the GT500 isn't your average Mustang but that is already taken into account by the MSRP which is about $18k more than a Mustang GT Premium. And even at that, when compared with the 03-04 Cobras I don't see this as being $10,000 more car (the increase in price from the Cobras) just because...

Yes there is a dealership from Ohio sitting on 10 GT500s and they have been listing and relisting theirs on e-bay for weeks. The fact that they state they have 10 of them totally defeats the whole limited numbers so you have to pay exhorbitant markup claim. Those cars can sit and rot for all I...

I just drove past a Pontiac dealership today and saw two GTOs on the new car lot, one with a price of $28000 in the windshield. So there you have the bargain of a lifetime - a great handling 400 HP car for $28k. In comparison, even the $39k MSRP of a Shelby GT is way overpriced for what you are...

I just was checking out e-bay for '04 Cobras. Very interesting. There is a mint condition (28000 miiles) unmodified car with high bid of $25100 which has not yet met the reserve. Then there is a heavily modified (claimed 600 HP and $20k in mods) with 23000 miles with a Buy it Now price of...

This is a bold prediction. If a 3 year old GT500 will be $25k, that is pretty much typical depreciation from MSRP ($45k). According to Edmunds.com and what I have seen on E-bay a 2004 Cobra in excellent shape with average mileage can be bought for around $25k (about 70% of the original MSRP). So...

For all we know they may have been doing the drivetrain loss correction. But they may not have been doing the correction for temperature, humidity, air pressure. The problem I have with Ford on this car is their claim about ditching the IRS for cost reasons yet the car is still almost $10,000...

I just saw a report on GM today where they turned a profit in their 4th Q compared with a loss the previous year. The interesting thing was the picture that accompanied the article. It showed 10 new unsold GTOs on a dealer's lot in Colorado. I could only imagine the deal one of those cars could...

I seem to recall seeing 3000 MT and 3000 AT for a total of 6000 as the target build number. When you add together all the special edition Mustangs Ford is going to put out in the next couple years (GT500, Shelby GT, Bullitt, Boss) and the tuner cars from Roush, Saleen, and Steeda, it seems the...

Because they are not geared up to produce that many cars. Especially the Shelby GT which is customized by the Shelby facility in Las Vegas. How many cars can that outfit over there actually churn out? For the GT 500, they may be limited by how many of the engines for those cars that can be...

I agree. I would absolutely buy the Z06 over a $70000 Shelby GT500. I wonder how much damage this insanity is going to do to the Shelby reputation amongst the Ford faithful. I think eventually these cars will be obtainable for at or close to MSRP. It is just a matter of waiting the greedy...

Back in the fall of '02, dealers were charging above MSRP for the initial release of '03 Mach 1s. I bought an '04 Mach 1 in November of '03 for invoice price (on X plan) less a $3000 cash rebate they were offering on all Mustangs (except Cobras) at the time. I got one heck of a deal, and feel...

Including the $1000 gas guzzler tax, the Shelby GT is about $39000 and the GT 500 is $45000. These are quite reasonable when compared with the prices Saleen and Roush are charging. A GT Premium Mustang lists for $27,600 with shipping, so the Shelby is about $11,000 over that. The Roush...

This '07 Shelby GT500 may go down in history as the most overhyped Ford ever. If one compares the car to the previous generation Cobra, there seems very little to justify the increase in MSRP from $35,000 to $43,000 (a 23% increase) considering that a new '06 Mustang GT Premium commands a modest...

Probably the 5W-30 is just as good as 5W-20 for normal driving. My limited understanding is that the higher number oil should hold up better under higher load such as when a high performance engine is being worked to its maximum capabilities or in a truck pulling heavy loads (for which 10W-40...
