Costs 30k for 50hp? Someone’s math is off

You know what I hate about Shelby brand ford vehicles these days and the stealerships that sell them.. every dealer has red tape on the gt350 and GT500.. if I could buy a GT500 for the price I spec’d on their web page for 65k I’d buy one.. good luck finding one in the country for that price.. it’s kind of sad in my opinion. Even like a 2018 Shelby 350 I had interest in before I bought the Redeye they wanted 63k for it! I’m like no way.. I’ll do 59k.. they wouldn’t budge. A year later that car is still sitting on their lot hasn’t moved. Oh yeah it’s a “special car” they say.. yeah... special to who? 😆

The Redeye they give you 90hp for 9K. Ford/Shelby 50hp for 30000k 🤔.. maybe if it had 1000hp those $$$$$ might add up to something that made a little more sense.. but not really even then..

Your spec is awesome too CC. Did you get yours without ADM? I mean I guess your a dealer.. how did that work exactly?

That’s so funny I think the Demon man started the idea I own car dealers lol. I don’t and I paid ADM for the first time ever in my lifetime but it was like paying extra sales Tax on the car it was nothing. I had ordered one last September of last year from another dealer and I just happened to stumble upon this one by accident. And since I buy cars often from this other Ford dealer they didn’t charge me the 20k Adm but they easily could have got it from someone else. And what’s insane is if I would have passed on this car I still be waiting for
my ordered one due to the Covid.

Says the carbon fiber hoods weighs 30 pounds less then the factory hood. I wouldn't think the factory hood weighs 30 pounds. I was looking at carbon fiber charger hoods and they weighed 2-4 pounds more then the factory one. A Charger hood weighs less the 20 pounds

So a stock Mustang hood must weigh more the 50 pounds?

If I lived closer to you, I’d be over every weekend 😁. Nice auxiliary fan btw.. that’s a must.. gets hot as hell out in the garage lately trying to tinker with any darn thing.. even picking up a cloth your breaking a sweat with these heat waves

You don’t have a lift in your garage do you?

No my office is above my shop other wise I would and really plan to build another shop eventually.

Nice, Nice.. yeah I was gonna say that’s all your missing.. yeah I’d love a lift too. I feel like an idiot not being able to do my own oil change. But these cars are sooooo low..

 

[Matt someone with an SRT]

Even paying ADM on your GT500 CC.. I can almost guarantee you that you will never lose money on that car. Probably be worth over 100k In 10years if it has low miles. Probably still worth 75k at 50k miles

 

[Matt someone with an SRT]

If you look at it that way it makes sense. I don’t plan on selling my Redeye WB.. but when I bought it for 64k.. a similar thought process went through my mind.. like I could keep this for 3 years and it will probably still be worth 60 or close to it

Yes I feel the Mustang GT500 will hold good value being they only make so many a year but like anything its a crap shoot. And the Redeye will for sure keep its value. I had a dealer offer me 68K for mine back in February.

I saw one a while back that a guy won in a raffle. It was a nice ride! He brought it to Caffeine and Octane after he won it.

This same dilemma will be on the 21' HellCat RE Charger too. How much is 90 more hp worth?

$10-15 higher MSRP and then the ADM? $90k...?

 

[Purerock105]

FTR...I-ve yet to see a NEW GT500 on the road and only maybe 3-4 C8's. Then again I rarely see GT350's, Durango SRT or Trackhawks either.

Areas vary.
