Re: Shelby Reveals Price of ‘Super Snake’ Package
I understand that a lot of it is the name... and that it adds value to the car, and part of me understands why someone would pay extra for that, and the other part of me wonders why someone would waste all that money on something that could be done for less than half of the price, and maybe even done better. I'm not trying to bash, and I'm not taking sips of hatorate, but fuck.. That's a lot of money, even to Rich. 
What does a base model GT cost? I know the GT500 is quite a bit more expensive, but can you get a GT for like $25k? Maybe just a tad more? I'm trying to get a feel for how much it could potentially cost to turn a new generation Mustang into a real (well rounded) horse.

Carroll Shelby is a living legend and his name recognition is the only thing driving the price of these cars up. If it were just a "Cobra", it would be much less.
A new GT will run you anywhere from $25k-$30k w/options. MSRP on the GT500 is $42,975 for a coupe.

I can see a collector buying these for the sole purpose of having a collector car, since they are gonna be a very limited production SHELBY car. As for the normal guy that wants a driver, you could mod a GT, and have Exactly what YOU want, for much less.

I can understand why someone would buy it as part of a collection, but if someone wanted it because it was just a beefier Mustang to drive to work everyday, they would be a fool in my eyes.

Re: Shelby Reveals Price of ‘Super Snake’ Package
I think this car looks amazing. And 15" brake rotors?! 
I agree.
You're buying the name though, and that's where the money comes from.
EDIT: I posted before reading the whole thread. I see Ashley covered this already.
