Just heard that Ford has decided to reduce 2010 GT500 production to around 2000 units. Can anybody confirm this info?

It's still wrong. It's a misinterpretation of mathematics by a zone manager.

p.s, SVT will be saying something about this shortly, but rest assured, there is not going to be a 2000 unit limit or massive production cut to the 2010 GT500.

Just out of curiosity....


How many units are they projecting for 2010? And home many 07-09s were built?

Not sure, but I'll find out tonight. I think they originally planned on about 7500. Depends on the economy but I don't even know if they can move that many. Some have even moved over MSRP but that will be exceedingly short lived.

They built about 23,000 between 07-08-09.

"UPDATE: We reached out to Ford to ascertain the veracity of this Team Shelby document, and they have categorically denied the website users' claims. 2010 Mustang GT500 production has NOT been limited to 2,000 units, and the report is inaccurate. Ford does not report volume figures for the GT500"

good

That's good to hear. Some people are freaking out about this. I wonder how
such a misunderstanding could occur. Anyway, glad to hear I can still expect my order to come through. Thanks for the info guys.
 
Glad to hear that. We have a 2010 Grabber Blue w/ no stripes on order currently and supposed to have it by the end of July!

Wow, you guys are on a GT500 shopping spree! This and the CobraJet??
Post some pics when you get, so we can check em out!
 
We currently have a 2007 Grabber Orange w/ no stripes making 850+ hp with a Whipple 3.4 on it. We wanted to get the Super Cobra Jet so we didn't have to destroy a perfectly good GT500 to race. The 2010 will be getting a twin turbo setup on it. Pics will come soon.
