Have an eye on new 2009 but want to know about 2010.

no 10 kr. there is a 10 ss though.
the biggest upgrade is the interior in the 10. the 10 also rides a lot better than the normal 09 gt500, and has better handling characteristics. what ford learned with the kr's went into the 10 gt500 suspension. the kr will still corner better mainly due to the stickier stock rubber.
the 11 gt500 will be out in 5 months or so, if ford/shelby do another kr look for it to be an 11 or 12 model. if you want performance the 11 gt500 is the one to get, just looking for investment value grab an 09. i am hearing rumors of 7500 rebate on kr right now(putting them below 60k).

thanks on d bit. How much more power for th 11/12? So the interior of the 09 is the same as the 09 500 or similar to 2010 500? Does it depend on when the 09 KR was built?

the 09 kr has the same interior as the 09 gt500. maybe a few tidbits here and there for upgrades in the kr.
the 10 gt500 has upgraded interior which is nicer. best thing to do is go look at both and compare.
10 gt500 suspension is comparable to the 09 kr suspension, the kr has stickier tires and turns better numbers. both are much improved over the 09 gt500 suspension.
08 or 09 kr are the same car, build date has nothing to do with specs. i believe the same options are available on kr builds. however only the 08 kr is eligible for the 40th anniversary package though.
i dont know for sure if there will be another kr built. but i think it will happen. ask dbk about the news on the base 11 gt500!

I just bought an '09 KR, and love it compared to my '07 GT500, a very different animal. There is little chance you will see another Shelby Modified KR in the future. They ran Ford's patience thin during this last run of cars.

I heard one sold for as low as 55k. Then there is this thread over on svtp right now....

Well guys as an early Xmas present to myself (I worked really really hard this year) I traded in my 08 GT500 for the 09 KR. It was delivered yesterday. Got a smokin good deal including the trade. Sounds great, looks mean yet beautiful. Now gotta wait a few months before I can break her in! These shots were at the dealer, will post some better pics later.
