It's a nice looking car for sure, and with the 5.4L + supercharger, it's got a great platform, but when you factor in the sticker price, then add in the dealer markup, how can you not pick up a standard vette or even a z06.

Now if they had priced it in the mid $30k range, just like the 03-04s, it would be a good deal.

Ford is working on a Boss version of the Mustang, positioned between the GT and GT500 models, according to the latest issue of Motor Trend. With around 390 horsepower via a 5.0-liter V8, the Boss Mustang will go on sale before the current model goes out of production. It will be lighter than the GT500 'Stang, and oriented toward track and racing use. The car will likely be used to keep the S197 Mustang in the spotlight right up until its successor arrives in 2008 or 2009. (Pictured is Cam Gillespie's GT Mustang with a custom Boss-inspired styling kit.)

Well it was Delivered!!!

The First Production







First Shelby GT500 Mustang Delivered With 2007 Ford Mustangs and Shelby GT500 coupes rolling off the assembly line in the background, Gary Roe, president, AutoAlliance Inc., Ford performance legend Carroll Shelby, and Barrett-Jackson executives Steve Davis and Gary Bennett handed over the keys to the first Shelby GT500 sold to the public to Ron Pratte, the winning bidder in a charity auction last January, on June 23, 2006. Pratte purchased the rights to the car during the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Jan. 21, 2006 which he paid $600K for the coupe adorned in Grabber Orange with Tungsten stripes with vin#0002. Proceeds from the sale benefited the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. "On behalf of the management and workers at AutoAlliance, I'm proud to hand over the keys to this Shelby GT500," said Gary Roe. "The Shelby GT500 is an instant classic and the AutoAlliance team couldn't be happier to be a part of the Ford-Shelby history. We thank Ron for his support of Ford performance and his generous contribution to a very worthy cause, the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation." The 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 is a modern interpretation of that iconic "King of the Road" Mustang. With Shelby's input, Ford's Special Vehicle Team engineers fashioned the fastest Mustang ever, including upgraded suspension and brakes, distinctive exterior and interior and of course, a thoroughbred powertrain. The heart of the new Shelby GT500 is its supercharged 5.4-liter, 32-valve V-8, which shares some components with the engine in the Ford GT supercar to help make it the most powerful factory-built Mustang in history. With 500-horsepower and 480 lbs.-ft. of torque on tap, the Shelby GT500 has attained a higher factory rating than even the 1969 Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet or the legendary 1969 Boss 429. "We appreciate the opportunity to be part of such an important moment in history," said Craig Jackson, president and CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. "The greatest collector cars in the world have been sold at our automotive lifestyle events for 35 years, which is why Ford chose to auction the #002 Shelby GT500 at our Scottsdale event and #003 Ford GT at the Palm Beach sale. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Ford Motor Co. and Carroll Shelby." Barrett-Jackson continues to set the standard for the collector car market by elevating consignment standards, breaking records and serving as the barometer for market trends. This year, the company conducted its most successful car auction to date with new records for attendance and sales in world-class street rods, muscle, sports and classic cars. Each event is broadcast on SPEED.
