Problem is it isn't about power...It never was, and sorry to say about Roush cars, I think they are awesome, but they don't hold value anywhere near as good as a Shelby will.
Before I bought my 350 I almost bought a '14 RS3 with the Aluminator upgrade and only 65 original miles for 46k. That was a 75k car when new. And that was back in May of this year.
GT 500s are still in the 40s and 50s. I almost parked one of those in my garage instead of what I have now, in the end I didn't want what was the same car as I had with a Shelby logo on it and more power.
In the end, It isn't the performance that's kept the value up on these cars, that Roush I mentioned above is actually faster...Its the name and the factory-built status that's kept the value up, and will continue to do so.
I have no doubt that there are a lot of people who paid ADMs on these cars and are now pissed off because their car isn't appreciating...Sorry, but EVERY car will depreciate. Even those million dollar vintage cars out there lost value before going up 30+ years later....Fact is if you pay that mark up you're doing it because you "just gotta have it". Don't be pissed off at the car for it. You did that all on your own.
Point is, if you bought this car as an investment, you're about 20 or so years too early. Enjoy it for what it is, not for what you think you'll sell it for.
