[QUOTE="magred, post: 979493, member: 11086"] HP costs money! FORD can't sit back and charge too little and expect to make a profit. To handle that increase in power, they would have to change the traction and handling. SO, with just those changes alone you can expect an increase in price. Now FORD has said they plan on making it up to/surpass M model performance and interior, so there you are definitely talking about a price increase. The thing you have to remember, quality and HP cost money and FORD is like any company out there. They are in business to make money. They are not going to give you something for nothing. Shoot, there is talk of the next C6 ZO6 costing approx. 60k. And don't forget, you will most likely pay the Gas Guzzler tax to get that kind of HP. AS for GM making the Blue Devil, I think they (GM) would be stupid not to get in on the American Exotic wagon. Chrysler is coming out with the ME 412. Now it may not come out as a Vette though. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out of the Cadillac lineup. GM has shown lately that they are making it their premier car lineup. All in all, we as HP junkies can be happy. We are the true winners, at least until CAFE comes in and changes the MPG regulations. Or even moreso, the insurance industry steps in and puts it too us. P.S. on a sidenote, Saleen is back on the ALMS. This year should be really good. [/QUOTE]
