Was looking to possibly buy a Shelby

In all honesty it's still a great value if you are comparing it to a Porsche 911, though. A similarly equipped 911 would probably run you $105-115k.

"great value compared to a Porsche" is like a flu being "healthy compared to pneumonia".

Luxury Performance cars are just that, luxury. They're a waste of money, and that's what makes them great.

People rant and rave about the 911, but in my experience they are nothing more than a 370Z with shitty weight distribution and a touch more power until you get into the TT and GT2/3 models, and those are FAR past the 100K mark.
