2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 gets a very reasonable sticker price

The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 might be a new performance bargain if reports of its pricing prove accurate. The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 will bring to the table more than 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, plus a very reasonable $52,995 price tag.

A 2015 Mustang convertible in New York. The newest Ford Mustang, the 2916 Shelby GT350, may come in at a very reasonable price for a high-performance car.

The Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] will have a new performance bargain on its hands if reports of the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350’s pricing prove accurate. When it goes on sale next year, the latest Mustang variant, which made its debut a fortnight ago at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, will bring to the table a new 5.2-liter V-8 with a flat-plane crank, unique body modifications, magnetorheological suspension, a Torsen limited-slip differential, more than 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, plus much, much more—including perhaps a very reasonable $52,995 price tag.

The pricing information was first reported by the website Horsepower Kings, citing a Blue Oval source. The website also reports that the car’s Tech Package, which adds things like power adjustable seats, premium audio and better infotainment options, will cost an additional $2,995.

But the story doesn’t end there. Ford is also expected to release a Track Package for the Mustang Shelby GT350 that will help fill the performance gap between the stock model and a hardcore Mustang Shelby GT350R rumored to be making its debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in just over a month’s time.

This Mustang Shelby GT350R will be the true rival to Chevrolet’s Camaro Z/28 and will likely be priced closer to Chevy’s $75k starting price; expect the car to feature many premium options such as carbon ceramic brakes, uprated wheels and tires, and some serious weight-saving mods.  

Stay tuned for an update.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
