> not bad! not bad at all… they need to cut weight tho

I agree, but it’s not easy to cut the weight on that chassis.

S197 Chassis (bit heavier already than the SN95)  
Iron Block  
Supercharger and Aftercooler setup  
18" Wheels  
Front suspension to support the iron block

All of those things add up.

Plenty of guys are getting stock GT500s to run low 12’s (12.0-12.1), I wouldnt be surprised with the gearing, and hp bump that they run high 11’s stock.

My Predictions:

$51,9XX MSRP  
$50-70k ADM

the '68 KR right now, can sell for almost half a million, and they only made a few thousand of those. These are only getting a 1 year run of 1000. I think this is a perfect example of a previous thread on cars in this era selling for quite a bit of money 30 years down the road. My money is on this car, taking the prize, as this is appearantly Carol Shelby’s final vehicle.

Good news is, theyre still making 10,000 regular GT500s a year, so their prices will get a cut.
