[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15802153, member: 121775"] I'm guessing you were making a joke. '11/'12 GT500s are still in the $30Ks. No way in the world a newer, more desirable GT350 is going to dip that low that fast, except maybe a Tech Pack GT350. Expect the base price to start at $70K. And yes, dealers are going to plop ADMs on the hood, but, if history repeats, they won't last more than about 9 months. 5.2L CPC TVS2650, 10:1 compression ratio, and 12psi boost. It's not going to be the same experience as the GT350. There's a lot to be admired in a high HP, NA engine, and there are plenty of people who will still prefer the GT350 over the GT500. No it doesn't, but it will be. Starting price of $70K+, which is ZL1 1LE area. An R/KR variant will probably be starting at $80K, and the ADMs on them will be through the roof like on the GT350R. Anyway, look at it like the 911R/GT3 versus the Turbo S. The turbo S doesn't affect 911R or GT3 values despite being faster [in a straight line.] Porsche guys love themselves some high-strung, naturally aspirated engines. We're not "hoping much higher." We're looking at the reality of it. The GT500 [i]is[/i] going to be priced higher than the R. Just looking at the expected equipment list makes it clear; much larger brakes, 20" wheels/tires, additional transmission options, [i]a blower[/i], etc. You're not going to get all that for "free." As far as the "value" of the Rs taking a hit from the GT500. I personally doubt it. I did the math in a post several months ago.
