2013 Shelby GT500 price announced

[Hockster]

What does everyone think about the new 2013 Shelby!? They just released the official pricing and package offering for the cars. Not as expensive as everyone throught $55K for 650 HP, not too shabby, Ford! So who's getting one??

I have been thinking about getting one for some time now but what has been holding me back back is the used car car lot I already own. Raptor, SRT 10, Dodge 4x4, Chevy 4x4, Chevy work truck, 55 Chevy, 31 model A, 76 Lincoln Mark something, and 2 airplanes.

This price might just make me pull the trigger.

I miss my 2012 but I think I am done with sports cars for a few years now.

I think the new GT500 is pretty sick! It's not even out yet and its still provided me hours of entertainment. Watching the camaro-mullet nation unravel ever since the 13 GT500 nuclear bomb drop debut has left me feeling warm and fuzzy.

Price is getting crazy though, sure the 650hp, 201 mph is impressive, but you're looking at over 60k for a nicely optioned one. Almost 20K more than a Boss, and almost 30K over a nicely equipped GT. For that differences, one could go crazy with modifications on a new Boss or GT and end up with a better performing car. Ten years ago the 03-04 Cobra msrp was mid 30's... Won't be long until we're in the 70+K range.. and out of the price rang or sanity for most average joe hot rodders. If I ever buy one (GT500), it will be a used one.

Price is getting crazy @ 55k? That's probably the best bargain on the market right now. They want 60k for a new superduty for crying out loud.

I bet Ken Grody Ford or Huntington Beach Ford sells one for more than $100k. (Home of the $10k Raptor markup.)

 

[moodster]

I would love one with the SVT package and recaro seats,but that is another 5 k,also you have to order it with the SVT package if you want the 202 top speed.
Cars without it are limited to 155 mph.

I feel compelled to use every ounce of power that a vehicle has. That is why I can't buy one of these. The result would be either (1) my fiery demise or (2) impounded vehicle and me in jail.

This is why I gave up my Gixxer years ago.

I share how you feel on the subject!
