I would never pay 85K for a mustang period, let alone another 20 over MSRP. But then again, Im just a common man! You know, the kind of person mustangs used to be for.
Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

I am fortunate to not be in the market for a new GT500, as long as they look like the 15 thru 18 MY Mustangs. It will be interesting to see how many that posted in this thread, actually buy one when it shows up. Talking about 85K price points & going in one's wallet, are vastly different activities.
Exactly right. $85K can buy a whole lot of necessities in life other than a "super mustang". However, I will say that I'm interested in the new model Ford is putting out and might make the plunge. But if the car is north of $75K, I'll probably look elsewhere. Not because I cannot afford it, but because I choose not to.
This....Ive made no illusions about my distaste for the 15-18 styling. I wouldnt be a player at 50K, much less 80. Here is to hoping the S650 is a better looking beast.
Exactly.
I'd bet Galpin and Tasca where there, ask them.
Again, Ford knows the price point of this vehicle and they know the current price points of the 350 adm included. They are not worried about the $85k msrp.
How is this a Ford problem? Dealers know full well they can sell them night and day at $85k!
Lmfao was thinking the same thing. About as credible as star magazine, The National Inquirer or most of the MSM.

We will see. Funny there are GT350's sitting on lots at or below MSRP and now at 20k more for a GT500...you think adding a blower make the difference huh?

What are you talking about? In CA there a ton of new GT350 with 5/10/20k adm attatched to them. The non R is still getting adm on the west coast.....
Did I not sleep well last night? I can't make sense of this. What is the 20k in reference to?
Are you saying they are $20k off? Because the cheapest I have ever seen a GT350 sell for was $44k and it was a tech 16 car IIRC, and used. No where near 20k off MSRP.
Corrected the typo. Was saying that adding 20k onto the price of GT350 to get a msrp of 85k and the only major difference is a blower on a CPC, well good luck selling that.
There's no way Ford will put out a GT500 car with the only enhancement over the 350 being a supercharger and supporting modifications, and then try to sell that to the public. There's a reason this car is taking a while to come out, and it's most likely because Ford is doing it right.
Given the last year of the 2014 GT500 base car sold for $57K, five years later would say they're going to at *least* tack another $10K onto the base price of the car.
Guess we will all find out soon enough.
I think your at *least* number needs to be more like 15-20K. Especially if this car is taking so long because of how good its going to be......
Pricepoint was 85k to start and was bumped down to 75k after dealer pushback (what I was told and makes complete sense with Chevy and Dodge pricing). You can ague that you think the pricepoint will be 85k plus, but then you are reaching competitors higher tier cars that this won't top, especially with the GTR and upcoming VIPER on the horizon.
With that said, everyone on here is swearing on a blown cpc 5.2....not sure how much power you think that will make on pump gas, but I know what the 13/14 made on the 5.8, so doesn't too sound exciting.
Now given what sounds like a lackluster motor given the specs you all swear by, I would love to hear what other specific performance components can be offered that are that much better than from the GT350 and still be at a reasonable competitive price?

I think base will be around 66-68k.
Perhaps you're right. Considering there was a $9-10K difference in a four year span between the 2010 - 2014 MY's, it would only spell a more significant increase between 2014-2019 five year span, particularly with the body style change from S-197 - S550 and the enhanced technology.
Care to explain why Ford would give 2 shits about what dealers have to say about their pricepoint?
Jesus ****ing Christ. Now Depwraith wants to talk about an "upcoming" Viper. Did a, recently deceased, friend of yours work on the new lugnuts for the Gen VI Viper?
BTIII was at an NHRA event during said meeting. He agrees that they will sell for 6 figures to start...just like the 350R. $85k wouldnt scare away enough people for demand to equal supply.

I wish the car were near release if for anything to end this incessant rambling.
Unless Ford put the kaibosh on development work there we should see photos of the car at the Ring (if testing dates for the GT350 mean anything) within a month or so.
