Hell, the Shelby GT300 is just $2000 in off the shelf parts and with a $20,000 mark up.

All this. Top shelf cars have never been cheap. 1969 Camaro ZL1s did not sell because they doubled the price of the car. Just for an engine. Yenkos were not cheap.
Plus with the new CAFE standards they probably want to limit production so the hit is not as bad. So make less, sell for more.
