Ford Motor Co. will price the GT supercar at $139,995, not including destination charges, when it goes on sale in summer 2004.

Freight charges are estimated to be about $1,225, but are not finalized. In addition, the car will be penalized with the gas-guzzler tax.

Options will include lightweight wheels, upgraded audio, painted brake calipers and a striping scheme.

The automaker has received 700 requests to be on the GT waiting list from celebrities, athletes and corporate executives. That number does not include consumer deposits made to individual dealers, a number that Ford did not disclose.

Ford expects to sell 3,500 GTs in America over its two-year model cycle.

Cheaper then we expected :thumbsup:

Cheaper than I thought it would be.......but still out of my price range....

 

[SID297]

When I hit the power ball this Sat I'll b on that list.

 

[rdvenom99]

Alright now I can afford two! :beer:

Im upset that its only going to be a 2 year run. I will have to execute my bank heist scheme quicker than previously expected

 

[NukeX]

hold on guys, lemme sell my house so I can get on that there list :-D

That has just become the best perfomance deal on planet earth. Only the S7 can hang for the most part with it for more then thrice the price, the enzo can nudge it barely for 6 times the price.

Kinda sad that there's all this hype and work going into building it, and they're only gonna make them for 2 years? Such a good car should have a longer run

exclusivity is key with these cars. You dont want to throw a GT into mass production....that way, when you actually see one on the road, you will be excited to see it and not accustomed to seeing it every other stop light.

Damn true, but its just gonna make it hard to find one if/when I get the $$ for it

 

[03DOHC]

Is that all? I'll take 7 of them.

newer, stricter car test standards come into place in 2007, hence teh 2 year model run

It won't pass the crash safety standards for 2007.

If they sell a bunch of em, they will make more of them. Thats how it works.

 

[philip]

They sold every single Cobra-R, and Ferrari Enzo and I dont see any rush to build more. Like someone said earlier ''EXCLUSIVITY''
is key with this type of vehicle.

Exactly justthink about what they were getting for PT Cruisers when they first came out. I can only imagine what the mark up will be on the GTs......

 

[SVT4ME]

Just think if you did have the money to get one. It's going to be a fight to get one of the ones being made.
