Yep the upcoming super snake package makes the shelby even more interesting.

Sorry but i'd still take the challenger

It handles

It looks cooler

It isnt based off of a car you see every time you turn the corner

And despite it being slightly slower, it is 75hp less and its N/A.

ok what about the shelby Gt500KR with 50 more ponies?

To add to offroadkarters list, the SRT8 seats 5.

The KR's probably close to double the SRT8's OTD price.

[Crown Vicman]

In the end, the lighter 4.6L Mustang was able to keep up with the heavier SRT8 Challenger in the numbers game.

Ain't nobody getting the 2008 Shelby GT500 Mustang Coupe at the stated price of (MSRP $42,170). There's still a $10-15K dealer mark-up around here. Don't know about the Challenger though.

Ford makes it harder, and harder, for people to want the Shelby. The Romeo Niche line, can only handle building so many blocks (I.E can't mass produce them in a short amount of time.) But the real kicker is, the *****ing dealer's who tack on an extra $10-20k markup on it. In the end, give me an '03/04 Cobra, a TT or T/S kit and blow the doors off any SRT and Shelby for way less $$.

You mean like the Marauder?

Is Chrysler not going to make a bunch of 'base' models with 6 cyl ?

[Johns_goat]

Who at Chrysler gave the car a slush box. I always say there is no point to an automatic mustang.

[DOOM]

Wow i didnt know challengers were that heavy.

[Vortex]

Ill take the Challenger please. Make that Plum Crazy with a manual trans, black leather interior and a big hemi. Mustangs are nice but a dime a dozen.
