Yes, but the GT500s doesn't go for 60K either. It isn't hard to pick up a new Shelby for MSRP. I've recently even seen some 08's selling for 38-39K, new.....CHEAPER than a new SRT8 (which is a slower car). Plus some low mileage used specimens have begun showing up on the market, commanding anywhere from 35-40K depending on the seller. Are some morons still paying markups on the GT500's? Sure. But you don't have to if you aren't too lazy to look around first.
