I paid $60k for it inc all taxes, to me it was a far better choice than the Camaro Indy 500 - not knocking the SS Camaro, just the Indy 500.

I personally preferred the Shelby GT 500 because it was far superior and far more feature packed than the Camaro. I am a GM fan through and through (or should say I WAS lol) but they really let me down with the spec & output on the Indy. It was clear to me that all GM did with the Indy was put stickers on it, cheap leather (not sure about the SS's quality of leather as I haven't been in one) which was already creased in the showroom (!) and no performance enhancements.

Memphis SS & Cuspid - The Delorean from Back To The Future was also a limited production car but that's not worth anything now so there's no telling the future on the Indy lol! Besides, I'm not concerened if it devalues to be honest , thankfully money is not an issue for me and it's something I'm looking to keep and do some work on in the future :-) The thing I would be more concerened about is GM needing a bail out more recently. Car isn't worth anything if the manufacturer isn't around for parts - just look at Rover in the UK :-) 30k GBP cars for less than 10k GBP because parts, servicing info, etc aren't available.

CamaroFan69 - You really want a pic of me in the car with proof of the date? Happy to do that but don't be upset when I post it - last chance.

Again, not knocking the Camaro just felt the Shelby GT 500 was a better choice for me.
