That 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 You Have Your Eye On Can Set You Back Over $100,000

Take a bigger engine, add a beefed-up suspension, and throw in a very capable chassis. Mix liberally and serve over sticky rubber. It’s a simple recipe for a performance car and one that’s as common these days as bad attempts at baking bread during the pandemic.

Try and find one with the carbon package without a 30-50K markup. Can't be done.
Love the Shelby 500 but believe GT350R is better buy for the money and more engaging in everyday driving.

A local dealership by me had a markup north of $130k for a carbon package one.

The irony is that being the first to pay wildly over list price accomplishes nothing. That money will never be recoverable.

When the 2015 Mustang came out, people were psycho over the first-edition GTs with with chrome-trimmed tail lights and in some places paid way over list to get one, but now they are not a penny more valuable than any other 2015 Mustang.
