I've only seen one GT500 on the road up here in the NW Chicago suburbs. I see several 03/04's a day...
So where'e the 8-10K units?
- Thread starter venams03
- Start date
Maybe Ford will only make 3500 units per year for two years. I heard this from the dealership (Ted Britt Ford Fairfax VA).......if true.....2007 Shelbys will continue to sell with high dealer markups.

I hardly drive mine, But I have seen 3 or 4 others mainly in Concord/Walnut Creek area. I do see a lot of 03-04 Cobras around.
That Black one you saw, did it have stripe delete?
As far a ADM - You pay to be 1st, plain and simple. Just like when the 05 GTs came out, you want one now while others wait, then you pay more. No problem with that.
With 1000 dealers being located outside the USA, I wonder how many will end up outside the US.

Yes it was stripe delete, just like the one I saw for sale months ago at W.C. Ford. Not sure if that was the same one though. Heard someone paid the 25,750.00 mark-up on that one. Hope that guy enjoys the cost of being first.:shrug:

Not true-false information. Ford will make 8,000 to 10,000 units for 3 years.
Don't let an idiot dealer perpetuate bullshit mark-ups.

Is that 8,000 to 10,000 total, or per year?03snakerush said:
Yep. I figure that since I see about 4-5 random Terminators a month around here, that in about 2 years I will see about 5-10 GT500s per month, since they are making about double the amount per year. That will be pretty cool. Lots of fun racing..hopefully I will have my new motor by then :big smile on face:

Per year- Confirmed by a Ford rep at the S.F. Auto show last week.:beer:
the production run will be very very similar in size and length to the terminators

The reason you dont see any is cause evolution performance is hogging them all up! lol
I have seen 3 here so far. Last I knew these guys still had one on the lot, but I don't know what kind of ADM they want. http://www.kimnachford.com/
I've only seen 1 and with distributor plates. They're not around much IMO because the ADM's are holding up what would otherwise be fairly brisk sales.
The dealers better start moving those over priced GT500's soon; competition is out next year from BMW and Nissan just to name a few; a mild recession is widely predicted and a redesigned Mustang is out in 2 more MY's- all bad news for a $50,000 Mustang.
That and the number of people willing and capable of buying the car isn't going up. Some, like me, are in the market for a replacement NOW out of need; my/our ability to wait for the ADM's to disappear is very limited. I'm hitting the LA auto show next week with a serious eye towards other brands because of the high markup's on the GT500.
Bad business IMHO, but I won't beat that dead whores again :bash:
