"if u build it, they will come..."
as disappointing as it may be to u guys, some owners aren't interested in the nitty gritty of assembling everything themselves. (some are women, who just want the damn car.) the shelby gives them an option of not dealing with the hassle of buying parts and playing legos/ tinker toy. and, the trade-off is they pay for it. more options is a good thing, not bad. they pay the premium price. so, it seems fair to me...

There are some idiots out there that will buy anything.
^ see CKay's friend (if it holds true)
A Hertz GT-H and Shelby GT which are essentially the same car. I guess if you have enough money to blow, it doesn't matter.

If he's really got the money for cars like that, he's missing a lot that the international AND domestic auto markets have to offer.

If I had the kinda money that you say this guy has.... I would certainly branch out as far as collectibles are concerned.

didnt want to bring this thread back but I will anyway. For all those haters that said ford motors are pieces of garbage, I give you the KB Twin Screw GT-500 Stage 3.
In my 5.0 magazine, the KB kit includes - dual 75mm throttle bodys, a SCT tuner, K&N air filter and housing, MAF extender, dual inline fuel pumps, 130mm MAss air meter, and the 2.8L blower.
Boosting 24# they netted 810hp/745tq @ the wheels and the kit cost $5,799 bucks. Thats more than a 350 rwhp gain (400 crank) for 6k.
Thats right they picked up more than 350rwhp on a stock engine for 6k which equals out to 1 hp for $15. Remember that when you contemplating $300 on an intake for the RX8.

The internals are supposedly good to 800 HP so Im the 900hp that the KB is putting down is above the rated maximum HP. Ford usually rates their shortblocks conservatively so it can probably handle 900hp just fine. Hell my B50 block is only rated to 450 BHP and I have run 500-550 bhp on it safely for 3 years.
