[QUOTE="Kaneda, post: 16116737, member: 153847"] This is dumb. Please, nobody buy a 100K Mustang unless you get it EXACTLY how you want it and for EXACTLY the price it's worth. I expect this car to be, fully loaded, $93,000...100K with tax, gas guzzler, destination, fees. If Ford is really making 7,500 a year that can ordered any way you want it, I fully expect it to be A LOT easier to get one at MSRP and how you want it, unlike the 350R in which they hardly made any and people were paying 20-30K over MSRP for one. My dad wants this car. He wants it fully loaded. 100K Mustang. crazy. To think 10 years ago, we had a 2010 GT500 and it costs us 50K all in...9 years later a GT500 loaded is 100K. The kids are ****ed. Here's what's going to happen though. Dealers will get greedy and ask 120-130K for one. But Ford will keep making them, they will sit on lots...but even so, year 1 is going to be a total BITCH to get one at MSRP. A few things are working in our favor here: 1. Demon/Red Eye/Hellcats - Lots of muscle car guys looking for high HP have bought into Mopar's lineup. Most of them (the Hellcat guys) will take a bath if they wanted to trade up, so they will stick with what they got. 2. GT350 owners - Lots of the Shelby faithful are in 350s. Will they trade up? Take a loss then owe 80-100K on another Mustang? Who knows. I feel like the 350R guys are the diehard's that would crave a 500, but just so hard to swap one for the other since they are both completely awesome and different in so many ways. 3. There's only so many people that will drop 100K on a Mustang. Yeah I know the performance is nuts, but the reality is it's still a Mustang. For 100K, there is a lot of nice shit you can get...and for a lot of car guys, they want the prestige that comes with other brands. 4. Mid-Engine Vette - This has fallen off everyone's radar, but it's coming in 2019 as well as a 2020 model. People are going to be shocked when they see the performance for the value of this car. I know a thing or too that's inside info (through my job) and let me just say you're going to get an exotic for a fraction of the price. Handling it will absolutely DESTROY the new GT500. Also, for 100K, the vette variation at that price (probably Zo6) is going to roast the GT500. 5. Camaro Gets ZR1 Engine - We all know it's going to happen. Chevy can't bring a knife to a gun fight for much longer. 6. New Supra - nah, that, what a POS slow ass car. 7. 1000bhp Dodge Angel is Coming: Dodge will not lose the power / performance wars to Ford. They also have more in store past the Demon. They just revealed a 1000bhp Hellephant engine. Dodge will see what Ford does and answer back quickly. My point being, unless you are a DIE HARD Ford Shelby guy, times have changed A LOT since 2008 GT500's were the only car in town. So many options. I didn't even mention all the stuff from Germany that the country club guy would rather have for 100K. I expect the first 6 months to be a bitch if you want one at MSRP / how you want it. Then what will happen is HUNDREDS of cars will be on autotrader / ebay sitting. And dealers will cave and start taking orders, selling cars for close to MSRP. 15,000 of these is a TON of volume. Heck there are only 3,000 Demons in the US and even now prices are much closer to MSRP and you can get one easily without paying a lot over. [/QUOTE]
