What do you think?
I don't mind these, I think they look pretty good. Very similar to the old school models which is nice

Ive seen them up close at a place in ferntree gully. I was scared to go near em. I could not believe the size of the rotors and the 6 pot calipers. They were as big as my 17's.
edit: Thats the place^^^ That exact one, except in red.

At $530 000, it would live in its own room inside the house.
The GT500 goes 0-60mph in 4.5s and 12.9 on the quarter. The KR has 37 more kW but less torque so I would say it is a bit slower. Not by much though.

Jesus
Super Snake
Starting in 2008, previous 2007 Shelby GT500 Mustangs could be sent to Carroll Shelby's Special Performance Plant in Las Vegas to be rebuilt into a Super Snake, which resembles the 1968 GT500KR, for an additional cost of $27,995. The Super Snake will offer a 600 hp version with warranty or an "over 725 hp" version without warranty and a 0-60 time of under 4 seconds.[4][5] The Super Snake is inspired by the 1967 GT500 Super Snake, a car made by Carroll Shelby for Goodyear Tires

I don't think they will be that much

The first 2007 GT500 went for $600k, the estimated Australian delivered price is around $530k. MSRP is $50k, but even when the BA GT Falcon went on sale it was getting around $20k more than retail because of limited allocations. There are only 1000 of KR's made so they won't be cheap.
