[QUOTE="paluka21, post: 15925683, member: 20747"] Ford promoted the 2013 GT500 as a car that could handle on a road course, break 200mph, and run in the 11's in the 1/4 mile. Essentially an all around car. 60mph in 1st gear, adjustable dampers, bigger brakes, coolers, launch control, track apps, etc. Fast forward 5-6 years and you have competition out that does things better than the 2013/14 GT500's. If Ford promoted a Shelby GT500 that only catered to the straight line crowd, I cannot envision it being as successful as a more well rounded car. Dodge gave customers the Hellcat Challenger and Charger, then the straight line Demon. Chevrolet has the ZL1 that is essentially good at everything, the Corvette Grand Sport and the higher hitting Z06. And now, the ZR1. In order to keep up with the competition, it takes technology and engineering. Those two things do not come cheap and most likely won't be in the reach for the common man unless he mortgages his future or accepts a $1000 car payment per month. Its just the reality of the market and day and age. [/QUOTE]
