[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15993296, member: 68944"] These are respectable guestimations and estimates. When the trinity gt500 was lingering around the final development months, the guess was “more hp than a zr1, maybe 650+” and the line said 650hp* That car ended up having 662hp (670+, since they made 600-615whp pretty routinely.) and had a top speed of over 200mph, cost $55k-70k. My bet is the new car will make over 750hp, and weigh under 3900lbs. I foresee about a $10k jump in price over a trinity to $65k base, and about $80-85k loaded. An $85k mustang sounds expensive, but that would be a 750+hp, full handling options, 7spd dct, premium interior/glass roof, bla bla bla mustang. I can tell you from experience, building my 03 cobra to a usable and good handling 750hp took about 4 years and $30k of suspension, brakes, engine, trans, diff, wheels, tires, clutch, tuning, forced induction, labor etc and the car was $25k so I was into it $55k. If Ford wants $65-85k in 2018 for a full tilt, excellent interior/exterior, great handling very modern car, they are completely inline and priced right to do so. Now on a more applicable new vs new sense, BMW wants $85-145k for 443-625hp M’s, AMG wants $75-250k for 450-650hp ttv8’s, Juaguar wants $75-200k for 500-625hp v8’s, Audi wants $200k+, Lamborghini wants $250k+, Ferrari wants $350k+, I could go on for days. Ya $65-85k is a lot, but apart from a hellcat at $60k for 707hp or $65k for 797hp, you aren’t touching 750hp for sub $100k. Ford is giving a lot of car for the money. And a warranty. Enjoy it, or buy it used in 2-3 years and enjoy it. It’s about twice the price of an 03 cobra new. It’s been 15 years. Inflation alone would have that car at $45-50k today. The other $15-30k gets you an extra 350hp, linger warrenty, 7spd dct, a dedicated and durable irs, way better brakes, way better interior, and modern exterior. I’m forgetting the frills like nicer door chime, nicer mirrors, better mpg, better tires and so on. [/QUOTE]
