I am tired of waiting. Ford could throw us a bone by offering us a 2017 SE Mustang with a NA 5.2 Voodoo engine with 4.09 rear gears, no rear seat, no air condtion, no heater, no radio for $40000 and sold by any dealer. Sell as many as the market demands.
OR,......at least tell us it is definitely coming out!!! :headbonk: :headbonk:
I hope they build as many as the market demands as well.

True. Ironically i thinl we were maling the same point. I was rebuffing the "doing it wrong" and stopped reading shortly thereafter. I agree qith all do thw rest for sure.

For christs sake put some 4340 H beams in it.
Ok. And for clarity, "doing it wrong" was in reference to make a "cheap" boosted motor. That model zl1 and the caddy v that shared the guts were notorious for requiring a full rebuild to handle much in the way of increased boost reliably. I certainly can't advocate Ford doing that - especially since they've been doing it right for so long. It would be a backward step.

OMG. 100k Mustangs? They will sell 3 maybe 4 to collectors at that price. Ford has to price this car comparable to the ZL1. The GT500 is not A Zo6 fighter.

Yeah this is so true. Enthusiasts tend to have rather wild imaginations in regards to pricing and the investment overtones. The market for a Camaro in the $70,000+ bracket is incredibly small, nearly non-existant. Don't think so? How did the Z28 and GT500KR do in the market place at full asking?

The z28 didn't do worth a shit period. MANY HAVE paid at least 10k ADM on top of the 67K for the 350R. That is 77K+ for the GT350R. Make a great car and people will buy it regardless if there is a 10 to 20k difference in price.

I agree though if it's a supercharged car and nothing real ground breaking on it, maybe a 70k car. I bet anything it's higher than the zl1 and just like any of the newer ford SE, many dealers will want adm on top.
I'm looking to see what it has to offer that way I can eliminate it or add it to my want list.

The zl1 is good enough that in order to beat it, the 500 replacement will be a zo6 fighter by default.

I am anxiously awaiting the gt 500 so I can purchase it or the z06. Unfortunately I think the gt500 will cost a lot more than the z06. I have seen new 2017 z06's for under 70k. I think the z06 will outperform the gt500 at a lower price!

You're most likely right on that, but why not buy a used z06 for 60k. Do they still have the cooling issues? If they do I'd get a 16 for cheap.

Nonsense. Z06 performance is super car territory. ZL1 isn't with in spitting distance of the Vette. And you can get into a ZO6 for 80 grand. Why would anyone pay 20 grand more for a hopped up Mustang over a vette?

Look, I'ma die hard Ford Guy, but I think I'd buy a Z06 before I bought a GT500...that's what I think. Especially for 20K less.

A 100K GT500?!?! I hope not. :mad: :tsk:
I will not order one for that price. No way/no how. We shall see.
A member on another Mustang forum that "supposedly" has the know with an employee at Ford says that there should be an announcement in June. AGAIN,......we shall see.

Absolutely no way the next GT500 is 100K, not even close, you can bet the farm and your life on that one.

Exactly the point I was trying to make. No way there will be 100K Mustangs produced by Ford. No one would buy IT!

With the current gen GT500, it was significantly more than the previous Gen ZL1. (unless you bought the base GT500 with no options) Ford doesn't necessarily follow its competitor's pricing model.
