    2013 GT500 Pricing Revealed

    Not bad considering what you get.

    2013 Shelby GT500 Starts At $54,995
    http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2012/03/2013-shelby-gt500-starts-at-54995.html
    Perhaps the most important figure regarding the upcoming 2013 Shelby GT500 is its top speed of 200 mph.Best of all the figures on the car however is Ford has announced that this Mustang could be yours for a “mere” $54,995.A sharp increase of $6,000 over last year’s model, it’s also slightly more than the new Camaro ZL1, which is priced at $54,095.A larger 5.8-liter V8 engine and a bigger supercharger gives the 2013 GT500 an increase of 100-hp over the out-going 2012 model.Other components joining the powerplant include a new six-speed manual transmission, carbon fiber driveshaft, clutch, and a new final drive real axle with 3.31:1 ratio.Also available on the GT500 is the new Performance Pack which offers SVT/Bilstein electronically adjustable shocks and a Torsen limited-slip differential.

    Can't believe that thing still doesn't have an independent rear end.

        Looks good to me, but it might just be the horsepower talking!

          Ford had to design the front end like that for aero and downforce to be stable at over 200 mph. Besides, people will really only see the ass end as it walks away....

              I'm more concerned with what the dealer mark up is rather than what Ford priced it at. I bet the first ones go for over $70K.

              How would you guys like to be one of those fuckin morons who paid out the ass for the 2007 car?

                Why? The majority of owners will care about going in a straight line. SRA > IRS

                Plus the Boss 302/ 302 Laguna Seca is proof it can go around a track too.

                    The reviews I read made it sound like they handled pretty damn well without the IRS. Maybe Ford thought an IRS would be a weak link or at least an ongoing warranty concern?

                      I bought my 07 from one of them. He lost almost half of what he paid for it.

                        It's not a bad price at all if you can get it for that. Some dealerships are already putting a $15k-$20k ADM on them. Greedy bastards.

                            The price increases won't last. Ford says they will not limit the run on them, so wait 5 months....and get one at sticker.

                            Also, as far as the IRS. An IRS is only better then this new 3 link design hitting a high speed corner that is bumpy. And just barely. Like I stated in an earlier post. A solid axle prototype Boss 302S won the Pirelli world challenge last year, and won 7 races. Every other car in the series (except for the mustangs) were IRS suspensions. They all got their asses handed to them all year long.

                            With personal experience......my solid axle mustang beats the crap out of IRS cars all day long as well......disclaimer: same horsepower IRS cars.

                              I'll say it won't run 200.
