Aluminum Body Shelby Continuation rollers $160,000.00

[RodKnock]

Back to the thread's original topic, I'm assuming that Shelby can't sell many, if any, aluminum rollers for $140,000, so why not raise the price and continue to sell few, if any. I kinda like this tried and true strategy. The price increase will make the bean counters over at Shelby very happy.

Uh, huh.
I don't mean to get all 'patrickt' on you, but check out post #14 from this recent thread...

Why do these "models" cost so much?

I don't know about that.

I'm giving the baby it's yearly bath. Every damn nook and cranny. Cleaner than new.

Now all I need is my camera and a manicure (That zinger was for you, Chas).

And his middle name is "Prestone."

Au contraire. It's ALL good.

OK, minor exception is some evidence on the brushed finish ...but it's clean at least! Between the full 2 gallons of water and Water Wetter, there can't be much Prestone 50/50 left. Right?

Some day I'll take it to Provo for a refresh.

3170,

With all due respect to you, I agree that calling the 13/14 GT-500 a POS is over the top. In my opinion, you have to keep in mind what the car is and what it is not. It is not a race car. [b]It is a street car in every sense of the word. Seats 4 in comfort, carries a ****load of luggage and loafs along on the freeway at 80 MPH turning 1400 RPM getting 23 + MPG. The build quality of the car is outstanding; the power train technology is unbelievable. (8 different stages of launch control , suspension and stability control selectable from the cockpit).

It also has unbelievable power and even more unbelievable brakes. Will go 10 seconds in the 1/4 (with DR's mounted) and even at 3800 lbs and narrow tires, does a respectable job getting around a road course. Comparisons to the Ford GT is really just stupid as the 2 are totally different vehicles for totally different markets. The only legitimate comparison of the 2 is that the power plant shares the same DNA; only the GT-500 motor is bigger, more refined and more technologically advanced. How do I know? I happen to own 2 of them.

For a STREET car, the performance of the thing is astounding.

For a base price of around 60K out the door, there is no comparison.
