Re: 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra SVT Reply #15 – March 23, 2005, 03:29:13 PM With a car like that Shelby, it almost feels like a crime to alter it much.I'd agree with you there, if it weren't for the fact that they plan to make as many as people will buy. These are not going to be any more rare than a Shelby Daytona Charger. Exclusivity will be nill, and it'll just be viewed as an uber Mustang GT. If they did a limited run, like with the original GT500, then the story would be different. These will just be another SVT cobra in ten years, and they won't hold any value. Quote Selected
Re: 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra SVT Reply #16 – March 23, 2005, 04:55:48 PM The more expensive the car, the less likely I'd be to modify it.. but that's mainly due to my current frugal-by-necessity mindset. Hard to tell what would happen if I had "money to burn" again.Still.. with my T-birds, I feel like I can do unusual stuff to 'em I probably wouldn't do to a new car no matter how much money I had/have/will have at the time.

Re: 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra SVT Reply #17 – March 23, 2005, 08:23:43 PM QuoteThese will just be another SVT cobra in ten years, and they won't hold any value.You really think that older Cobras don't hold value? I do understand what you mean though, Cobras don't go up in value after you drive them off the lot, but I do believe that Cobra Mustangs do hold a sales edge over a GT, and are much more desirable to own. I know that I personally would give my left nut to own a 93 Cobra (or an 2003-04 for that matter). I really don't care about any Mustangs from 96-2001, when the power was down for the earlier years, and the restyle needed more looks. Maybe you're down on the Cobras so much b/c in it was more of a name and not a real performance package on the 87-92 fox bodies? Quote Selected
Re: 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra SVT Reply #18 – March 23, 2005, 11:32:21 PM I love the car, but I think I would have to pop off the cobra emblm on the front grille to clean it up. That cross hatch grille is too cool to stick a knick knack on it. Jason. Quote Selected
Re: 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra SVT Reply #19 – March 24, 2005, 08:30:46 AM Awsome car, as far as Carol Shelby goes, he's still a genious. Yes we would all like to forget the Shelby Daytonas and the such, but look at the automotive world as a whole there. With the tough emmisions standards and gasoline prices, true performance cars had almost been completely forgotten about. I can't fault the man for having to make a living. Once the market came back, and he was offered projects, he jumped on them(though the Cobra was supposedly going to be his last project). I do believe that he is very passionate about the true performance cars he puts his name on. As much as I hate Chevy's, if they offered me $1m a year to go work for them, I wouldn't think twice about it. I'm just glad they finally have a Mustang that I would like to own, I don't like the fox-body stangs(other than for the fact that it is the car responsible for bringing performance back imho), the sn-95 were ok, but before that, the last real mustang died in the early 70's Quote Selected

I have no problem with Cobras. :) And I'm sure they're still worth more than a GT. But these GT500's won't hold or gain value anything like the original GT500, simply because there are going to be so many of them. I'd still kill for one, and that's saying a lot, since I really don't like Mustangs for the most part, since '73. Quote Selected

Re: 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra SVT Reply #22 – March 25, 2005, 07:36:34 PM This is great news. The suspension has been tweaked and tuned, the huge powerful motor, some different nose & tail pieces, big brakes, and it's one hell of a Shelby. My problem with the new Mustang has been solved. When I went to the dealer the brochure listed nothing but mega-watt radios, big wheels and rocker panel stickers. I asked about performance options like suspension kits etc and they said, "Sorry, not this year."I'm on board for a Shelby Mustang.Chris Quote Selected
