800HP sub $40,000 cars aren't a good value per $ ?I don't care what anyone drives honestly, just me. But don't bitch about the value per dollar when it's certainly not there for a '10 GT500.

Aside from the 01 premium GT's leather there is no plus to the 01 car versus the 15+. The base cars have powered seats, power locks/windows. They're not like base fox LX's.

No price would currently make me sell it. I told myself this was the last car I'm building. My body just hurts too much doing it.Would you sell it right now for $38K?
I bought a stock car for $32,000 from a ford dealer in texas. Just bought and installed the whipple that I got from lethal's tax day sale. I waited two months for the stupid thing.But you're not answering my question. Lol
Did you or didn't you buy it at $32K with 750-800hp?
He's gotta justify his GT500 somehow man. Funny how he posts about free market yet paid a premium for a 2010 Mustang (the redheaded stepchild through every trim, if there ever was one), simply because the name "Shelby" is stuck on it at every turn.

There were plenty of options available in 01. My GT's sticker was right at 24,000 if I remember correctly with I believe every single option minus automatic transmission. Mach 360, spring package, premium wheels etc.
Point being, a fully loaded car in 00 corrected for inflation costs about what the starting point is on a modern premium. And it's easy to option a premium to well over 40k.
Different times. most of those features didn't exist/weren't need at the time and still aren't today. modern features for the car did exist at the time though like 6 disk cd changers. I honestly don't use most of that stuff currently. Is it comfortable/fun to drive with the price and appearance I want is all that matters to me.So aside from the 01 Premium having leather it is behind in any tangible category.
I dont think im that old, im only 28 lol and I still remember my brother paying .60c~ a gallon to gas up his Foxbody 5.0. For Cali, that was a a lot lol I remember filling up my Cobra for $22~ every week and a half.I'm not that old I don't remember it much below a dollar
Agreed. If a lot of features now existed back then, they would’ve charged a nice penny.Different times. most of those features didn't exist/weren't need at the time and still aren't today. modern features for the car did exist at the time though like 6 disk cd changers.

I've seen you say this before and still to this day just don't see it. It's bad enough the styling alone couldn't sell me on my '17, but now you have to compare it to a '71-72?! And I absolutely see 0% New Edge in our cars.
These things are basically Fusion coupes IMO.
Agreed.
Ok. I had a Zinc yellow 01 premium GT coupe with manual trans. Bought new, I think sticker was $24.K. I paid a little less than that and got 0% for 60 at the time. It had black/dark grey leather, mach 460 and 6disc in dash. Bullit style rims on 245/45/17 Goodyears. It ran a best of 13.89 @ 100. I purchased a brand new 16 GT A6 in comp Orange for $29.xK, it stickered at $32ish. It has 18" wheels with Pirellis. I'm guessing by the size of the front calipers they're 6 piston?, but could only be 4 piston Brembos. Decent stock radio with a BACKUP CAMERA, disc, usb, and Bluetooth phone and streaming. Seats are cloth but do have every power position the 01 Premium had. And it's run a best of 12.36 @ 113 100% factory stock, with me a good 70 lbs heavier than when I went the blistering 13.89 in the 01 GT. So aside from the 01 Premium having leather it is behind in any tangible category. In fact I'd say the base car is a ****ing bargain if you can find the right deals.
... Only a fool would pay the same for a 00 today as a 17 today. ...
Reality is if you had 24k in year 2000 money you could buy a fully loaded 00 GT at the time. You cannot do the same with 24k of 2000 money for a fully loaded 17. The fact that the 17 has more standard options has nothing to do with it.
You must not wash your own car. If you did, you'd be intimately familiar with the lines and details of it. Look at the mirrors (and their placement) of the '71/'72 and the S550. Look at the greenhouse of the '71/'72 and the S550. Look at the 3/4 view of the '71/'72 and the S550. If you've never owned a New Edge, these will be harder for you to see, but the structure of the tail lights of the New Edge and the S550 are similar. The headlights of the S550 resemble flattened and elongated New Edge lights.
I'm not saying the cars are carbon copies of one another. If that's the only way you can think about it, you must not have a eye for design or design evolution.
Dude...i can't believe you don't see the similarities?! I highlighted it here for you.
Nope.
