05fordgt Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Anyone know what this package consists of? It's listed as a $2140 option. Hey Steven, that package is the Shelby Upfitters Package that is for the new Shelby GT. The package consists of the items listed below: GT/CS Based (meaning it has the front and rear bumpers, and the side scoops) 18" Polished Bullitt wheels for the white cars, 18" Black painted Bullitts for the black cars. Side Airbags 3:55 rear axle Tire inflator Kit (in lew of spare tire) Bright Aluminum Pedals Once you price out the car, the cost isn't final until the car goes to Shelby Automobiles. Then they modify the car with a package that is $7,390, PLUS the car then qualifies for a $1,000 gas guzzler tax as well. Hope this helps.

StevenCaylor Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Wow, thanks. According to KBB, it's even available for the V6.. That would be better than even the Pony Package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling be Ford could engineer a GT500 with 500 horsepower and it doesn't get a guzzler tax but the engineers at Shelby American couldn't slap on a couple of parts and add 15 horsepower without being taxed? That's ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05fordgt Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Wow, thanks. According to KBB, it's even available for the V6.. That would be better than even the Pony Package. Steven, thats why I tell people to not believe everything that KBB or Edmunds puts out there that relate to car programs and options. This package IS NOT available on a V6. Only a GT. Are you telling be Ford could engineer a GT500 with 500 horsepower and it doesn't get a guzzler tax but the engineers at Shelby American couldn't slap on a couple of parts and add 15 horsepower without being taxed? That's ludicrous. Nick, the reason why the gas guzzler tax applies is because Shelby re-flashes the program in the computer from a stock GT (which didn't have the tax, nor did it require premium fuel), to the Shelby GT. The reflash bumps the HP up more, and the tune (with the combo of premium) lowered the gas mileage enough to warrant the gas guzzler tax.

I don't have a GT500 on my lot to run over and view the window label. Thanks for the clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Notice the $1300 charge under optional equipment. Well I'll be damned. One more reason to not like the GT500 then. :slap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
