not at my post...
Different price brackets. Prices on the 13/14s won’t change much, if any, is my guess.

yep, the prices on the 13/14 500s has held pretty steady for last several years, don't see them dipping much more at all. Plus its the ultimate example of the S197 500.

Wtf is an “influencer”??? That sounds like something a high schooler would say... lol

A phaggot with an iPhone, Instagram account, overinflated self worth, and no real world skills.

You lost me at Instagram, I speak no such faggotry...

I mean, Insta has its place. For example I have an account so I can low-key check out THOTs and fast cars when I have a few minutes to kill.

As far as people making careers out of social media? Its faggotry to even think it being a real thing. Unfortunately it is and why our society is doomed.

Its what the industry actually calls it.

saturated, absoloutley. But when you start seeing the $ it pays, get on board if you can. I make about $300/month from posting pictures, and thats with .001% following of the bigger names.

How do you think these 20 year olds buy 100k cars? do you think they are all leased or parents buy them?

I know the #s, its nothing to laugh at financially.

One of my friends was pissed his kid decided not to go college, but once he saw hes bringing in 18-20k A MONTH playing ****ing fortnight or some shit.. what are you going to tell him?

Yup, the great Meme Account Ban. Guys making $25k/M with million follower meme accounts. All they did was repost 4chan/Reddit Memes.

Other guys with YouTube channels pull in $50k/m, then again, a real TV star could make $200k an episode.

I agree. The 13/14 gt500 will hold steady for a while. It will be interesting to watch the 15/16 Z06.

Oh they definitely won’t...C6Zs all the way back to 06,07 models still selling for 30K....

If you want an example of the out going hotness being still relevant and holding value, 15-17 S550 GT's are holding on pretty strong since the new MY 18/19/20 GT's are more expensive, complicated (thanks spray in liners), and arguably less reliable for boost.

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but there seems to be something about the outgoing generation of performance cars that are keeping them close to MSRP if low enough mileage.

So it looks like the Z51 package will be $5000 afterall.

Base Price LT1 $59,995 + $5,000 Z51 = $64,995!

So, question for some of us. LT1/Z51 for $64,995 or 2019 GT350 for $65,000 (+ADM) or 2019 GT350R for $72,999+ (+ADM)

Is that directly comparable? LT1/Z51 matchup better with the GT350 or GT350R? I'm thinking for the $$$, the LT1/Z51 is the clear choice.

2020 GT500 more comparable to later available C8 models IMO.

The C8 low end will be nice, but I still like the 350.

Dam with rebates on a year end sale I bet you can get a 2021 z51 for under 60k.

I too like the 350, but, I certainly think they are comparable. Price may be the deciding factor. Most Ford Dealers seem to really be in LOVE with their 350/350R's...so much so they make you pay a LOT more $$$ for the LOVE.

Yep MSRP is the max I'll ever pay.

oh nooooooooo!!!

what happened to the gt500 vs c8 price point argument?

"It shouldn't be hard to option a C8 well past the $80,000 mark. For example, 3LT with the Z51 package, Magnetic Ride, the front-axle lift costs $80,335. And that's before you start adding various exterior and interior trim options."
