Maybe I am wrong, but I still do not see the 2020 GT500 being $100K out the door if sold at MSRP. For Ford to price the GT500 in the $85K - 95K price range ($95K fully loaded) what market are they trying to reach? If Ford is wanting to be competitive in performance and price point (which they are) let's take a look at what the competition starts at:

2019 Dodge Challenger Redeye: MSRP $71,350
2019 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: MSRP $70,195
2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06: MSRP $80,590
2019 Ford Shelby GT350 (for comparison): $59,140

Historically Ford has never priced their GT500 models on par with the Z06, but perhaps that changes?

In my opinion, and I could be very wrong, Ford will MSRP the car in the $69,000 - $71,000 range for a base car, and option UP to $80,000 - $82,000. That is STILL a lot of cash to drop for a mustang IMO, but for the performance standpoint it is justifiable to many.

Who would have imagined anyone paying over $475,000 for a new Ford, but then along came the Ford GT.

the fact that we're even talking about mustang's going for almost $70-100k is just pure insanity. I've driven a new mustang and not a god damn thing about it makes me think it's worth it's asking price.

Depending on price and availability, meaning I get to order it the way I want, I may entertain getting one. Still, depends on pricing still. ADM, of course.
I would like a Twister Orange or Grabber Lime with black roof, Track Pak and carbon fiber package.

I wonder when pricing will be released. Does anyone know?

I seem to recall that you are in line for Z06 or ZR1? Am I mistaken?

Me not in for S550 GT500 anytime soon. Next whip will likely be a gen 6 ZL1 1LE or maybe C7 Z06.

How was the power delivery of the gt500? what seats were in it?

ohhh, so you havnt driven the car on topic then?

You dont account for it? Hundreds, if not thousands of people paid an ADM.
can you tell us what the highest and lowest price on 350s ovr and under msrp with options was?

oh, you mean its a free market and some people paid less than others for the exact same product? amazing what happens when the free market is .. free

You are correct sir. Great memory.
I really, really want to order a C7 Z07, but I didn't get a raise at work yet. Not sure when/if we are unfortunately. I have to ask for the raise, it's not automatic. I'm going to ask mid-February, which will be over a year now.
Long story short,........there are 2 reasons why I haven't asked yet. One, the operations manager left in the middle of November, literally just quit. lol And two, one of the companies that we were printing for hasn't paid their bills yet and we have bought some new equipment to handle that workload. Going on 2 months now. Needless to say, we don't do business with them anymore.

So to answer your question, if it's cheaper than the Z07, (which I am sure it will be), I may entertain on ordering one. Only if I can order it/spec it the way that I want if I'm spending that money. Plus, I really love the Mustang community. I'd love to stay with a Mustang, but wouldn't mind owning a Z07.

No, thats not its actual price, cant blame capitalism

Ahhh, gotcha. So even though folks paid x amount, that wasn't the real price.

LOL. Are you a man, or do you just identify as one?

Seems we have moved away from the world of reality.

Relevance to what is being discussed? Do you even know the subject at hand?

Yeah, never mind.

Carry on newb... Oh and thanks for posting my Credit score and income for everyone to see. How embarassing! LOLOL.

Sun is going down soon... better run home and check in before you get your bedtime snack revoked for bad behavior.

People like to argue over the dumbest shit.

I think (maybe not?) im smart enough to realize the difference between actual MSRP and an ADM.

Not sure WTF either has to do with what many people will actually pay when the car is first released.

I will put money on the GT500 starting in the low 60's and topping out at 75-80. I imagine the carbon package will be pricey.

I think this assumption is spot on or very close. Ford needs to be careful where they price point this. Too low and every car would be snatched up quicker than you say WTF. This could piss off a bunch of people wanting the dar they can afford.

Price it too high and I think pushing it to $85K or above puts it out of reach for their target audience and then the backlash starts about an overpriced mustang.

So cheaper than a GT350r for the new base model 500? Doubtful.

Also.. some of the car's competitors fall exactly into the higher bracket. Redeye Hellcats are over $80k... 1LE ZL1 Camaros are over $70k (though they can be had a nice discounts), and BMW's M products are well into the $80's and beyond.

This car is no longer a "muscle car". It has matured and now captures the Porsche, AMG, and BMW audience and will likely be priced accordingly.

There will absolutely be GT500's sold for $100K+ in the first year once ADM's are tagged on.

I just checked the 2019 MSRP for a 350R....$67,135 at Ford ‘s website. To answer your question, I think the GT500 base will price above the 350R, but not much more. Carbon package will push it to near $75 or $80K.
Now, if your adding ADM on your figure to push higher well... above $85K is unreasonable IMO. Paying $10K+ ADM over MSRP on a depreciating product is just dumb and the dealer would be a crook.....just my feeling. I would never buy a car with an ADM no matter how bad I want it.

Your comparisons to the historical direct competitors of he Shelby GT500 ( a top shelf camaro or challenger/ charger) seem to be within the estimated price point.

You are right that the BMW M3 prices well into the $80’s and Im sure magazine will do a BMW comparison to the GT500 for a performance benchmark. But reality is the M3 buyer is different from the GT500 buyer with little cross over.
