When in doubt, read the specs

The SRT with the 6.1 Hemi will run low 13's but cost 40k you will be able to buy a Shelby GT500 for that and it will destroy pretty much everything on the road. Plus in the next two years Ford plans to release a Bullitt and new Mach one with more power than the GT. It's us 2v guy's that need to worry.
The new Shelbie (by latest accounts) will max out at 7000 units over 2 years (starting in late 2006), and be virtually impossible to buy at the list price of $40000 (numbers like $70000 are being bandied about by the management at Ford dealers, where the plan seems to be to buy all the allocations "privately" by the dealer owner/general manager/sales managers/golfing buddies, then sell them "used" to the fortunate few who can afford to pay double the MSRP). I called a Dodge "internet sales" manager and he told me he would sell me an R/T at the list price of $34900, and the S R/T at msrp when he has a firm number (probably about $40000).
I would definitely prefer a Cobra, but time will tell if these actually arrive and at what price.
In the mean time, I'd be cautious in assuming 13's will win over the new Hemi Chargers. All indications are that the kitchen just got hotter.
