might get my name on Shelby GT500 list

I phoned a few SVT dealers in my area tonight and I might drop by one of them tomorrow and place a deposit for the Shelby.

A few big dealers in my area claim their allotment of cars are spoken for and had taken major amounts of money from people to be on the list. I phoned a few outside the box SVT dealers near me and they have openings avail. some will even take a lesser amount as a deposit for you to be on the list and guaranteed your Shelby when they are avail.

I'll sleep on it tonight and if I do it you guys will be the first to know.

P.S. it could be bye bye Formula, hello Shelby GT500.

ok, it's not gonna happen, at least not right away. I'm going to take care of a few personal things first then decide if I will still go ahead and do the Shelby if they will still make them for the 08 model year.

If they don't make them anymore then I'm hitting the used car market perhaps and getting one or find myself a nice Porsche 911 ish type of ride, at least that's the plan.

anyone know the proposed production numbers for the new GT500?

Nope.SVT does not even really know. Rumored to be 7K but another guy will say they will make as many as they can sell..
And I would not put a deposit down on this thing either. The dealers have NOTHING on this car, Not one thing. They cant even tell you what its going to cost other then their speculation. Im really debating if I want the 07. I had got the SVT power lease when I got my 04. I already got dib's. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

I think I will test drive a Mustang GT prior to even making any final thoughts on the Cobra. I want to get an idea of how comfortable they are to drive for me. The 04 Cobra SUX when it comes to comfort.
Now the 2001 Cobras are cozy when compared to the 03/04.

Dealerships in the region told a few people I know they will mark it up 20-25k. So much for the "affordable" SVT's.
