[QUOTE="Osiris, post: 15918784, member: 6537"] Not sure I agree. The GT500 is being built for a different purpose and though I do believe it'll handle well, it won't be as focused at specific things as the 350/R is. There is also no way this car is going to sticker for less than the price of a 350. in fact I think it'll slot right under the cost of the 350R for the base car. I also expect to see upcharges for things like performance-specific packages, electronics/lux, etc. It'll easily push into the 80-90K range. How? Look what Ford charges for a Raptor or an F350 Platinum diesel (100k). They think they'll get it and if it performs, people [i]will[/i] pay. In fact, I fully expect with as many people here who are bellyaching about the timeline for this car that they're just itching to pay that ADM as well, right fellas? lol The 350 will always stay a special car. The balance, special engine, performance ability vs the competition at launch, and one thing you're likely not considering...Europe. Europeans love Mustangs, and especially ones that can handle and the GT350 is the pinnacle and official unobtanium there. I expect to see more 350s find their way across the pond soon. There are only so many places the GT500 would find use, but the 350 is a very usable DD. No, it won't appreciate for another 20-30 years, and it'll continue to come down in value. It'll ALWAYS be more valuable than any other trim Mustang, aside from other Shelby product. No, you won't see 20K GT350s anytime soon, nor will you see them in the low 30s unless ragged out and/or high mile buy-backs. If you look at average values of GT350s vs GT500s in the late 60's model years, the 350 is worth more, even though the 500 was more car. Balance matters, often just as much or more so, than power, to many people. Just my opinion.... [/QUOTE]
