[QUOTE="BlownAway03, post: 16286346, member: 43874"] The trans cost is moot point. Drivetrain costs are always astronomical in the early days when priced through parts department. You don't pay that cost directly when you actually purchase a car though. Take an 03 Cobra for example. When I 1st got mine I worked for Ford. They were around $34k new. The engine was over $20k when priced through parts, yet the 2003 Cobra was not $20k over the last gen. And to that point they probably could've used the 10spd auto, gotten the same results, and been cheaper. I think Ford may be recouping something with this Shelby lineup. The GT350 range increase is well outside the normal for what we normally see in a generation of Mustangs. I can't believe we have normalized this. GT350's have increased $12k and we just hum along. And i think this has dictated the GT500 price more than any other advancements. And how about the GT350R msrp being above the GT500 to start? Weird [/QUOTE]
