[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 2342894, member: 7315"] [b]Where did the $5,000 go...?[/b] As we are both playing fast & loose with Ford's accounting...here is my take.... First- I have a problem with your $1400/yr...inflation...premium. What OTHER (Ford) cars reflected that increase? I THINK ...MOST....of it can be attributed to...oh...THEY SOLD MOST of the '03's; & being greedy rapacious capitalists...raised the price....swine! Secondly- Isn't the GT-500 based in large part on the Lincoln LS/Jaguar S platform..WITH IRS? What "engineering" costs? If Ford's market analysts can't approximate demand...what are they being paid for then? With the experience of the '03/04 Cobras..how hard could it be? The popularity of the '05 isn't indicative..its a totally different market. Of course, $40k (should) be a max. price..they damn well better know there won't be 7000+/yr. buyers over it...even WITH a SHELBY emblem. Point remains...there is still $5k un-accounted for. But, like I said, that's NO reason NOT to buy it....enjoy [/QUOTE]
