People seem to forget the ADM. If people think the ADM is bad for the GT350, just wait until ford releases the next Gen GT500. It will be C7Z and Gen V viper price range + ADM.
Upcoming timeframe on the next GT500 and speculation

ADMs will fade. Remember when the 2007 GT500 was released? Dealer's had crazy ADMs on those. If you want the next generation GT500 as soon as it is released, then yes, you will most likely have a hefty ADM. But, wait a year or so and the ADMs fall pretty quick. Look at the GT350's now - falling ADMs.
Yes Sir, I agree 100%. I never buy new anyways, I let other people do that and eat the depreciation. The 2015 C7Z I picked up with 1900 miles, I paid around 20k less than MSRP for it. Did the same thing with all the other cars in my sig.
With tires as sticky as today's drag radial it will happen eventually. I don't see it happy before a major redesign helping weight balance(ala the vette) or the very expensive computer controlled launch like AMG. Like I said in my response if they pull power on launch and shift changes yes it can.
Remember the new zl1 is not out yet and it's still a few tenths from 11 flat.
Nice job on the C7Z! $20,000 off MSRP with only 1900 miles is a great deal.
Back on topic: Is there any time frame on when Ford will at least announce something?
Sometimes I wonder if Ford will just use the Trinity motor again with some tweaks to make it 730ish HP & 700ish TQ. It seems like an easy road to take with current power levels.
brand new Z06. $78K. You'd really have to be brand loyal to even consider a GT500 at $75K.

nope no one knows that. My guess maybe the Detroit Auto Show.
I would sell my C7Z in a heartbeat if the new GT500 is a TT V8 GT500 with an auto option and a 325 rear tire. A TT V8 paired with Ford's new 10 speed auto would be a monster at the strip and on the street.
I wouldn't actually pick this option over a new GT500, just saying I would do it before doing that stupid 727 HP package from Lebanon Ford.

Hellcats are selling for $72K, so if Ford makes a twin turbo v8 GT500 with a 10 spd auto that runs quicker than the Hellcats and new ZL1, I don't think they will have a problem selling them for $75K.

No worries. If you were thinking about it I thought you should be made aware:beer:
I predict clean used C7Z's will be upper 60k range by the time the next GT500 can be had without an ADM + MSRP price, especially with all the negative mis-information about the heat soak/over temp issues. I'm a mustang guy at heart, never owned a turbo car, and already own a HCI C6Z are the reasons I would dump the C7Z for an A10 TT GT500. Hopefully, the money tree's I planted start spitting out some 20 dollars bills by then so I don't have to get rid of the C7Z because it is one hellava car (the best I've ever owned).
I bet they are lower than that by summer of 18. Mid 50's for a clean 10k mile c7z!
You would have to be brand loyal to pick a car (which will be several years old by the release of a gt500) over one that hasn't even had any specs/info released about it and is still years from release, no?
Yeah, I don't think so. Your the brand loyalist Black99 is talking about. How many bone stock ten second passes has any Mustang ever made?
List the 10 sec time slips any bone stock mustang has every produced?
Is there any generation Cobra that was slower than its predecessor? A decade ago, you would've asked to list the 11 sec time slips of any bone stock mustang...and what do we have currently? So, you never know.
And you cant just automatically claim "brand loyalty" because someone defends a certain car...it could work both ways and people can just call you a "hater". The next gt500 will be a progression and more than likely faster than the previous, how much will remain to be seen.
Considering you can find the more expensive 4 yr old zr1 in the 50k's I see no reason why the 4 yr old 15 z06 won't be there as well.
