[QUOTE="CO Mack, post: 15736140, member: 161833"] There are enough purists to support the price, I think. Others are welcome to argue semantics about whether the R is truly a “limited edition”, but it only takes a few thousand, with the money to own them globally, to keep prices up. Jay Leno called it a top car of all time, and he’s not a Ford purist and has a huge collection/experience to base that claim on. The original GT350 is considered the quintessential Pony car and the new one is true to the heritage. We’ll see prices continue to bounce around MSRP (+/- $10k) until they sell out. Then they likely firm up a bit as last minute people accept reality and pay more than they want so they don’t miss the boat, and then start down slowly. HOWEVER, in a few years after the people who bought a GT350 because it was the “latest top Mustang” (and then went looking for blowers/turbos because GT500s or ZL1s or Hellcats are faster) have sold off to the purists that have been waiting we could see what’s happened around other pure cars; stick Porsches, the BMW M1 etc. Or, Ford could out GT350 the 15-18 GT350R and values track the 302LS post GT350 announcements. Ferrari just did a 6.5l, 13.6:1 NA beast so there’s hope. We’ll have to see. [/QUOTE]
