Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

[93 347 Cobra]

But hey, all of the naysayers about the S550 GT500, you'll all eat crow soon.

It's pretty awesome to hear you're stoked about the car. Sounds like it will be a real heart-breaker for the GM and Mopar guys. I'm hoping it doesn't carry 20K ADMs like the 350Rs did but if it's running with and beating 6-figure exotics on the track and annihilating everything domestic in a straight line then it seems like it'll head there...

I have no doubt that there will be some priced in the six figures.

If I get enough allocations, I'll take care of as many forum members as I can. As it sits now though:

1.) My dad, retirement gift
2.) @Tob
3.) @csc427
4.) You.



I would save a spot in the garage for it.

Classy deal. If there's a 5 spot I'm you're huckleberry

You're #5.

 

[biminiLX]

You da man. Hope it plays out well.

[13COBRA]

Me too!

Also, I'm going to go ahead and snag #6 for myself. So the next forum member would be #7.

I feel like theres some serious damned trolling going on right about now

Have been Looking forward to the unveiling for some time. My dealer is just as excited as I am to see it. They never charge ADM. Not sure how many a year they will receive but am guessing 2 to 3.

 

[13COBRA]

What brand lift is that?

ATLAS

If the Raptor doesn’t pan out...#7?

From 13? Nah... Only if you want to see trolling.. He said "If I get enough allocations, I'll take care of as many forum members as I can."

I read that as... if he ends up with enough cars in his allocation, he will do what he can to help people on the forum... That could be something like you can't find a dealer with an available allocation and he can sell you one, less ADM, no ADM, invoice (not likely, LoL) or things don't work out the way he hopes and he can't help anyone. The point is... its a nice gesture.

to clarify, I was no accusing him of trolling on that front, I dont doubt for a second he would help some people if he gets enough allocations. I was just talking about him hinting at knowing whats coming now

I don't think anyone outside of a small group within Ford knows exactly how the car will be configured until Job 1 commences. Even this late in the game I'm sure there are changes being made. I was given indication as to what was being worked on this past summer at 777 Republic Drive, where Roush and Ford Performance Engineering share some space, and it lead me to contact Nick about purchasing one through him as soon as they are available. Hopefully everything makes the final cut.

I'd require a large deposit from you if I were 13Cobra

And why is that?

I am sure it will. If the GT350R is over 100K, the new GT500 is going to be more than that!

The 350R carrying some of the markups is crazy.
