For me and me alone. And I had an extra $30K for an engine, transmission and some upgrades.
Now wait just a second. Let's compare apples to apples. I'm betting yours (like many) is not painted (I've never seen it). Take your bare naked lady and get it painted. When I inquired about a full paint job to get my packer car repainted it was about 20K.

And I got equivalent parts service from Shelby.

I can't say the same for Roush though but that story is documented elsewhere.
