Depending on how your view of the web site displays on your screen the owner of the wrecked GT500KR has responded on page 7. His handle is "The GT500KR Owner". Yeah, he is PISSED!

Autoblog reports that Shelby has lowered the price from $20 or $23,000 (depending on how you calculate shipping, markup, etc) to $9,700. The owner claims that's a lie! By the time the hood is done with markup's, etc. the new price is actually $14,000.

3 or 4 months now, the car still sit's and waits for a resolution to this mess. SAI says the hood was shipped, but offers no tracking number to verify. It seems that the hood was NOT shipped after all. Speculation by the owner that SAI wants the old hood back so they can repair it (bondo time) and send it back (for $14,000). The information does indeed sound accurate, not just rumor.

$630 for the hood pin's, by the way, must be tripple chrome over gold.

There is a further update. The KR owner had a confernece call with Ford, SAI, etc. The replacement hood is being sent today as it was never sent on Sept 10th as promised by SAI. The owner seems to think that this got moving after Ford got involved but he still doesn't know what the new hood will cost. He has not changed his opinion of SAI at all but he is happy that Ford has stepped in.

I just happened to go onto eBay today and I plugged in GT500KR for the fun of it and was surprised to see so many new KR's listed. It looks like many Ford dealers are going the eBay route with their new KR's probably trying to get as much for them above sticker price, as they can. Some of them are new 08's so maybe they aren't selling all that well either.

It is hard to believe but SAI has still not cleared up this mess.

I was at my local Ford dealer getting the oil changed in my Explorer last week. While I was waiting, I walked around looking at the new cars. They are an SVT dealer so they had several new GT 500's on the lot. I couldn't help but think of how SAI is screwing around the owner of this KR, even though the Shelby Mustangs I was looking at were not KR's. This whole mess just leaves me with a very bad impression of SAI and Shelby, which is sad.
