[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15799018, member: 121775"] How long are you going to keep harping on that?? You claim to have a new Demon, but you keep hanging around in GT350 forums. Salty much? Are you mad that GT350/GT350R owners don't give a single damn about Hellcats/Demons being faster in a straight line? I think most of the worrying about the cost of GT350s comes from people who can't or don't want to pay for one. The high price of new entry also affects the used market. Used GT350s are still selling for near MSRP, and they don't like it. I'm confused why you would think Ford is even remotely worried about pricing the new GT500 where the GT350 is/was. Never going to happen! The new GT500 will probably base at $75K. Even if Ford priced it at $100K, they'd probably still be able to sell every one of them. The GT350/GT350R got the attention of high end sports car shoppers. Those same shoppers no doubt have their eyes and ears open for what the GT500 will bring to the table. It's high time that Ford move the Mustang further up market. You could afford a new R but opted for a used Track Pack? You seem about as salty as OP about the prices. I seriously doubt you'll find any dealers selling Rs at MSRP. GT350 prices might be taking a minor hit [I]right now[/I], but it has zero to do with the vaporware GT500. It's the middle of winter. Sports car sales always take a hit in the winter. Does the 911 Turbo S affect GT3 prices? Not in the least. Does the 911 Turbo S [I]perform[/I] as well as the GT3? Just about, but it doesn't feel anywhere near as agile and precise as a GT3. The Turbo S is actually faster than the GT3 on longer, less technical tracks. That fact still doesn't affect GT3 sales or prices. It'll no doubt be the exact same with the GT500 and GT350/GT350R. Two different cars that accomplish the same task differently. The GT500 will be faster on longer, less technical tracks. In any case, it won't feel anywhere near as scalpel-like as the GT350R, thanks to it being nose heavy and having a supercharger. Just look at how the GT350R keeps taking the overall win against the ZL1 in reviews. It's simply a better driving car. Putting up the fastest lap time isn't what it's always about. You may see that as me trying to justify my R, but it's not. My R will stay right where it is in the garage, and the new GT500 will be added alongside it, if I like what I see. But I'm going to be holding out for a GT500R/GT500KR variant. Priorities are all in order, I see. [/QUOTE]
