(Dearborn, Michigan) TheGT500Source.com - Ford Motor Company today told
dealers today that they will produce 9,000 2007 Shelby GT500 Mustangs.
The production number is higher than the 7,500-8,500 range, which was
anticipated. TheGT500Source.com spoke with Ford this morning and was
told that the GT500 would launch on-time. JOB1 is scheduled to begin on
05 June 2006. The cars should begin shipment to dealers in the last
week of June.

Dealers are scheduled to receive their allocation numbers by the end of
May and there will not be any restrictions as to how many coupe vs.
convertible models will be made.

Hopefully with 9,000 being built pricing will stay somewhat reasonable.

Amen to this.  This might just keep the price a little above MSRP which
would be very good indeed.

Only way to beat terrorist is to use terrorist tactics...set traps, snipers.
No amount of conventional warfare will work...

Near $40k for a coupe and $45k for a convertible.

He paid $00,000
They GAVE him one.

Umm, I should mention that he's a Senior Engineer at Kelsey/Hayes/TRW/Whover
they are today. He designs the braking systems. And he's the one that tests
them at the track. He usually gets one of the preproduction models of watever
he's working on for about 3-6 months; to take home.....

I hate my brother.

Still doesn't seem right. And no 'senior engineer' would get to keep the
goodies when there are layers of management above who would take it.
Sounds more like 'gets to use it for a little while'.  I doubt Ford
allows preproduction models to get out that way officially.

The two companies I've worked for that made consumer product, engineers
did not get units to keep. And these are relatively cheap things compared
to cars. (think one to four hundred dollars each retail) Now at one
company it was acceptable to scavange through the scrap parts and build a
unit for yourself, provided you could cobble together enough working
parts. The other it's acceptable to take things home over the weekend,
try em out, but they must be returned.

I never said he gets to keep it. Just for a while. He drives it to work, so
it's there everyday.
And he lied to me. He only gets to keep the GT500 for two weeks. He got to
keep the 2006 for almost 4 months, though!

It's the internet... people just make things up.

Well that was my guess, but gave the benefit of doubt.
