Its not like its hard to copy a GT500. Get the GT, paint it blue, put a supercharger on it, change some interior bits and paint a white stripe and your done.

Yeah and try to sell it. The what are you going to say when papers and a registration number is requested?

Let's face it, its hard to sell a Mustang, even a really fast one with the Shelby name on it, for $46,000 when a Corvette starts at $49,000.

I know, I know, who cross shops a Mustang and a Corvette, but once you get into that price range, buyers are gonna consider the alternatives.

For resale value it always better to have an origonal. If you want to have fun which I think the 500 would be a kick in the pants just clone one. Also a mustang buyer and corvette buyer are to say the least, two different buyers.
