Picked one up last month (I think I am the luckiest guy in Newark, DE).
What an awesome ride!!.  It is so smooth compared to my previous ride - 2000
Mustang GT.  I don't know where a mustang enthusiast can go from here.  Will
be satisfied for years to come.  Hope I can live that long!.

50+ Ford guy,

How much did you pay over sticker?

   Maybe he'll let you go fill it with gas while he changes your
solenoid. :D

Congratulations!

They are surprisingly smooth and understated for 500 Horsepower aren't they?
:-)))

Still waiting on mine :-(

Congrats on the ride, sweet car for sure.

I hope you got a decent deal on it. In my neck of the woods, the best price I've
been able to negotiate is $2k *over* sticker. Dealer says it's as low as he'll
go, and this car is a 2007! I'll wait and see if it's still sitting there in the
middle of winter and check back again. Pretty soon he'll need a place to show
the '08, right?   :)

Boy If that is a non demo with less than say 25 miles on it, I would jump
all over it for 2K over invoice.  You are not likely to see anything better
for a new one from a dealer for the entire run of the 2007/2008 Shelby
GT500's.
I know one person who paid invoice for their GT500, from my dealer, everyone
else I know who is driving one around paid at least $12,000 over MSRP, many
over $20,000 over MSRP.
I am waiting to place my order for my dealers last 2008 order, he only got
two 2007's and two 2008's the first 2008 was delivered in August.  I've had
money down and been waiting for this order slot for over a year.
John Verdi - 27 Sep 2007 04:07 GMT
5K over list is what I paid.  At $48K, it's still the biggest bang for your
buck for a factory car!  It is so understated.  I can hardly contain myself
when I see kids climbing all over themselves from the back seat of SUV's,
Jeeps, and sedans to get an unobstructed shot of this beast on their camera
cell phones.

Not wanting to waste any gas with those Japanese ricers, I get harassed at
every stoplight.  Who are they kidding!

Hoping for the long continuation of this Ford legacy.

Long live the ultimate muscle car!

Scarlet GT 500 Owner,
John

I saw one this afternoon
taking off on a country
road, the exhaust note
was sweet sounding and
had a real growl. I'm
guessing it was an 07
because it was Tungsten
Grey w/blue stripes.
Congrats!

I paid M.S.R.P. for the first 2007 Shelby GT500 at my local
dealership.

Been away for a while.

I paid 5K over sticker.  Never thought I would do that, but she is so sweet!
Have about 2200 miles on her. The only thing that I miss a bit, is the
growl.  My 2000 GT had a very resonant, low-pitched, guttoral
VVVVVRRRRRROOOOOOMMMMMHHHHHAAAA!!!!  But if I step on the gas with GT500, I
need to be fully up against the headrest or else I get a bit of whiplash.
The supercharger has a very distinctive high-pitched whine - a lot like a
g--- I know . No I won't say it. Pure ecstasy!
