[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15729095, member: 121775"] So what, if it's within striking distance of Z06/GS/foreign sports cars, if the performance is there?? Ford claims the GT350R can run door to door with the 991.1 GT3 around a track. The GT3 has a $140K base price, and you'll never find one for that price. Also, $60K - $70K foreign sports cars can come even remotely close to touching GT350R performance? I honestly can't think of any. 1) As already pointed out, the GT500 [i]is not[/i] going to be priced below the GT350. Why would Ford price its premiere Mustang below a lesser model? 2) The days of straight line focused cars at Ford (and GM) are over. Dodge is doing it because they literally have nothing to lose by offering straight line cars. 3) Ford has zero reason or incentive to price a balls-out GT500 less than $70K. It's not young whipper-snappers who are going to be buying them. It'll be older, more established people with deeper than average pockets. Not to mention, the base price of the GT350R is ~$60K. The base for a ZL1 is ~$62.5K. The ZL1 can barely (and in some instances doesn't) outperform the GT350R in anything other than a straight line. The ZL1 1LE has a $70K base price. Ford is no doubt looking to outgun the 1LE; probably with a base GT500. So, again, what reason or incentive does Ford have to price the GT500 below $70K? As much tech and performance that's expected of it, it'll probably start above $70K and touch $80K optioned out, and they'll sell every last one of them. [/QUOTE]
