I have just been on the Shelby american site having a look at one of these.
Does anyone have an idea what the cost would be of having one of these imported and ready to drive in the UK? Must be nearly £100k yes?

Cheers

Not far off.

Or you could get a standard 660bhp GT500 for between £60-£70k and tweek it.

I bought a 13' gt500 and with just a tune, throttle body and x pipe get 800hp all for very little money.

To answer the import cost take then purchase price then add shipping and then 30% for vat & duty plus Iva and dvla

Those minor mods add 150hp?

Yeah hard to believe I know, www.lethalperformance.com they have a bunch of mods that look great. I went with the tune, throttle body, and x-pipe. Massive gains, and what's amazing is the car is still really drivable, but when you plant your right foot it goes into warp speed
