Ford Motor Company has released prices for the 2007 Shelby Mustang GT500 for the Coupe and the Convertible models. The Shelby Mustang GT500 comes in at a suggested retail value of $40,930 while the convertible has a suggested retail value of $45,755. Along with the car comes the hefty $1,300 dollar gas guzzler tax. $40,930 dollars for 500HP of American muscle is not that bad of a deal when you compare the price of it's rival, the Z06 Corvette which as an MSRP of $64,890 for 505HP. The base Corvette sells for $43,690 and only packs a measily 400hp.

Problem is the measily Corvette with 400 or 505hp is over 1000 lbs lighter than the behemoth the 07 shelby weights
They made the new stangs way to heavy

There are also rumors of a 2008 Bullitt with a n/a 5.4 for about $35k going around...
I think I'd be more interested in that, as long as the power numbers are decent (similar numbers to the '00 Cobra R would be nice). |

I don't think anyone can say one can "spank" the other when not one person has picked up a GT500 yet. |

the new shelbys are not much faster if any as they have been tested at least... They are SLIGHTLY faster than a new C6 I do believe in a straight line.... if they were 3300-3500 they would be doing MUCH better... ford doesnt care they will still sell like crazy.

Ford lists the GT500's curb weight at 3,920 pounds in coupe form and 4,040 pounds for the convertible. That's about 400 pounds more than the equivalent Mustang GT. Much of that bulk comes from the drivetrain, which is about 350 pounds heavier than the GT's. This also means the weight gain is largely on the front half of the car, suggesting front-end flabbiness compared to the base Mustang's nimble character. Yet we're happy to report that Ford didn't sacrifice the GT500's cornering capabilities for the sake of straight-line acceleration.

Early test performances have recently been published in the standard periodicals. Car and Drivercompared an early build 2007 Shelby GT500 with a 2006 Z51 package Chevrolet Corvette. The Shelby obtained a 12.9 sec quarter-mile while the Corvette ran a 12.8. The Shelby had a 100 hp advantage over the Corvette, but a 616 lb weight disadvantage. Similar tests by the magazine Road & Track reported a 13.1 quarter-mile for the Shelby GT500. Some critics have pointed out that the weight of the car is causing estimated ET's less than expected. The weight of the Shelby GT500 with a driver is nearly 4100 lbs. The heavy iron block V8, with supercharger and water-to-air intercooler, shift the weight bias further forward than the standard Mustang GT. This negatively affects roadholding, but the car is said to handle predictably and ride comfortably. According to Car & Driver the GT500 provides the "best [overall] bang for the buck around," but the Corvette is a better performance vehicle.

I can't believe that's all they got out of it. Don't know if that speaks badly about C&D, the Shelby, or both...

well C&D and Motortrend got high 12s out of the 03/04 cobra then MM&FF tested one to a 12.3/12.4 quarter so... lets see what they get from it.
If it cant beat the previous versions thats just super sad and shows how little ford cares about the mustang performance line and how much they care about using the Shelby name for profit.
