This is probably the last Shelby model line that will be produced. Carol Shelby is what? 80ish? I can't see him being involved in another production run... the pricing is still ridiculous, but "the last Shelby cars" might be the reason why buyers are going apeshit....

BTW, he was heavily involved in the Shelby Cobra V-10 concept car. Whether or not it makes it into production is anyone's guess.

No, it wasn't for an old GT500 model, it was instead the rights to the first 2007 GT500 off the assembly line and it didn't even include the cost of the car.

My misread - I thought you were talking about the old Shelby cars.

I totally agree that this is totally but what do you think of $25,000 over MSRP for an E60 M5? I think both are equally insane.

Anything in the 10's of thousands over MSRP is stupid in my book. That is money you will never recover so unless your first name is Jay and last name is Leno and you plan on keeping the car forever in a garage, don't do it. I love the new Shelby, it's H O T. However, I can't pay that much over MSRP for a vehicle that I'm purchasing just to rip around in.
