[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13690789, member: 134833"] I'm going to disagree and say that the 07 is not a solid car to compare to. For starters they built more 07's than they built of the 13&14 years combined! And then Ford continued to build basically the same car for MY 08 & 09 so there are thousands more of that 500HP car than there is of the 5.8L 662HP. Which then there is the fact that Ford kept making the GT500 better, first with the updates in 2010, then again in 2011 and ultimately with the 13. So now everyone wants a 2013/2014 car. Unlike what Chevy did with their ZO6, Ford continued to make real updates to the GT500. The early Shelbys depreciated a large part to overproduction and significant updates to the current model. Neither of those will apply to the 13/14 cars. They weren't overproduced new and no matter how better the S550 is it won't be anything like the 13/14. OP, as stated your best bet will be a high mileage one, a modified one and/or wrecked one, or someone who took on a $500 to $1000 payment and is desperate to sale. I'd be willing to sale mine for about twice what I paid for it. And I don't think I'm alone there. No way am I letting go of this amazing car! Keep your eye out for that killer deal that comes along and be ready to act right then and you will find a car. But don't expect to find many 13/14's that low, well ones you'd want anyway. ;) Unlike a Z06, Ford started building the 13/14 cars based on a complex allocation system. This spread the roughly 5k per year units produced across the US and prevented dealers in larger cities from over ordering them. Chevrolet could learn a thing or two from this. As well as how not to build 28 to 29K of essentially the same 505HP car to where folks like me wouldn't buy a new one when you could save thousands by buying a 3 or 4 year older of the same car, fancy shocks notwithstanding. A 3100 to 3200 4 seater Mustang with 600HP and today's technology and saftey requirements is a pipe dream my friend. If Chevrolet couldn't shed weight with the new C7 and get it down that far for their 2 seater sports car Ford's best attempt will likely be 3600 for their top end pony model. And as I've said several times in other threads, to reduce weight the S550 as we know will be much smaller and narrower all the way around.
