EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

RETARDS!!!!! I don't care if it does have a low vin #, the fact of the matter is that there will be 8000 or so for the 07 model year with another probably 8k for the next, so 16k in total is not a collector item.

I agree....I love mustangs as much as anyone, but I still wouldn't even come close to paying $50k for a stang...sorry, all that plastic, creaks, rattles and everything else that are notorious with stangs.... just isn't worth $50k to me.

Yeah, one could buy an 07 GT (or V6) and make their own shelby... (5.4+s/c+bodywork+6spd, but instead of having the stock supercharger or the stock headwork etc. it would all be awesome) for MUCH les than 50k... when we look at the original pricetag we think 'DAMN' its ford's cash cow... these dealership's putting that pricetag on their? That Must be illegal. Fair Market value my ***

its not illegal, its in the name..MSRP. the price on a sticker is just a suggestion of what it should sell for. most people buy below msrp, why not above msrp, its all in the market of the area, rich people = higher market value, thus 125K for a heavy *** car made on the same line as the v6 and gt...

IMO Ford should put a 15% cap on these things. Its stupid to pay that for a Mustang, STUPID. Especially one with such high production numbers...

why should they cap it, it makes the dealership more money, which enables them to expand and sell more cars. I bet ford's top dogs love that the price is so high with these cars. if you're stupid enough to pay that much for a car go ahead, do it. its does nothing but help the economy in the long run, plus in about 5 years these car wont have 1/4 of the preceived value they have now, so let some other shmo bite the bullet and pay top dollar. and you sweep in four-five years later and buy it for 25k or less.

I like them yes, but ANYONE who pays that much freaking money for one of those cars is nothing other than a fool. Id take an 03 cobra over one ANY day of the week.

Id buy the 07 shelby GT, sell the engine, and drop the ford Gt engine in there with a 6 spd, do pullies kb swap, nitrous, and port and polish the heads and still be under 70g.
