[QUOTE="95_XB331, post: 3585538, member: 13698"] With the original Y2KR at 55K and it had some really cool goodies (diff cooler, brakes, seats, etc...) and the Terminator at 35K,[i]and[/i] looking at the competition of SRTs and SSes, we're definitely looking at low 40's (42K) for 500HP. That could create lower demand, and the price of gas nearing $4 bucks for 91/3 octane, I wouldn't be suprise if they cut production numbers. Those factors actually justify the 500HP (limited quantity) and limit the market to a specific type of customer. Heck, look at the Vette/SS @ 600HP--they are considering free driving school lessons for buyers. In the end, 98% of the people out there will get into trouble with 450+HP (i.e. think rain!). And with [spoiled] kids able to buy BMWs @30K, a 35-40K GT500 sounds like a recipe for trouble by the NHTSA. And still, for a car to hit low 12's at that weight would need 500HP. I know some here have deposits, but anyone know if the planned production numbers changed? [/QUOTE]
