Me too. Need it!
Whoever you spoke with is clueless.
Detailed information is already on their website. The wheels are 19" + 9.5", for example:

You sir, are a moron.
The prodution GT500 will have 18" wheels, not 19. If you had bothered to read the official Ford press release you would have known that. Hell it's only all over CNN, AutoWeek, Car & Driver and a million other sites.

Couldn't agree more. When I called, the guy said that "they always have in the past" what-ever-the-hell that means. I was truly disappointed that the "surprise" wasn't a Vert GT500 for NY. Even HTT was quoted:
"Will there be a Cobra Convertible?" "Come to New York" was his answer. Well, someone went there, right? Where the hell is it??? :cuss:
I think I'll start a new thread about this right now...
I'll tell you about the money. It will go from my bank account right to FOMOCO, I'm buying one.

So SVT's wesbite, which JUST POSTED the detailed inf on the new GT500, is WRONG? :shrug:

This CAR AND DRIVER write-up says 19" wheels... :shrug:

once again, we are talking about a pre-production show car at this point and so is Ford on the website
as I see it, since concepts have started becoming production within a year or so (by all the automakers), the term "concept car" has taken on a whole new meaning.
these vehicles are introduced to us now as nearly-finalized versions with only a few details to change
apparently, they still want to make a flashy introduction and big wheels complete that impression
the only problem is that, as you all know, we would rather see some reality in the running gear, since that's what we truly care about (are you listening to us FORD?)
Ford has already stated, in various places, their intentions on wheel size...

maybe you could help me with my day-trading. since even ford does not know how much it will cost its amazing that the price has been worked out on the svtp forum.
oke: i am sure they are targeting 40k. but don't act like bigger meats, twin-screw vs roots blower, warranty cost, etc. will not factor into pricing. and until they have a production vehicle completed, you simply can't say what the price will be. unless your in the business of losing money which ford dabbles in quite often..
I'm thinking 40k, but between the hype, shelby name, and over 450hp, I'm thinking it'll be hard to find one for under 45k. If I do decide to get one, I'll do what I did with my 03, wait a year and get it "new" with 10k off.
BTW: If it has 19's that would suck, they look good, but 450hp + the price of 19inch tires equals a hurting in my pocket. Gotta pay to play I guess.

I would be more worried about the cost of gas when that thing comes out. Yikes!

It is atted plenty of times that this is a "show car" or "prototype" on all of the press releases. They even mention the production model wearing 18" Goodyears, so i doubt the 19s will make it
