The S197 GT500's were a great platform, no argument there. For the roadcourse, it's tough to beat the IRS equipped S550 GT350/GT500.

And while it was fun playing with the TR6060, I much prefer the perfectly calibrated DCT in the 20+ cars. Beast.

Friend of mine had his painted stripe Heritage (N0012) show up yesterday. He'll kill it on BAT if he decides to let it go.

What? That ford performance selector switch is just as heavy. Im just jk'in with you.You should schedule a plant tour to watch your GT500 get built here at the mustang plant when it gets scheduled for build. Im holding out and hoping the S650 Boss 7 liter comes to reality.

I was going to go with @biminiLX last week but I was out of town. My car is built/produced, ETA early August.

There are a lot in the low to mid 80s now.
Thats a big difference from $60k
I don't know about you, but I don't just reach in the couch cushion to close the gap on $20k. Plus w/e taxes are on a new vehicle versus a car thats 9 years old

Out of 230.....20-22 GT500's on Autotrader, only 6 were under $85k. By definition here in the southeast, thats "not a lot"
