but thats not anectodal. I live and have hundreds of cars friends, albiet in the north east. we ALL started with BMWs, and some still do, others went to gtrs, porsches, audi ect. but all in the same demographic. trade cars every 2-4 years, plenty of disposable income. The GT500 is on all of their radars, depending on ADM and actual HP. Id say 50% are always hoping for 700hp,others, like me, thats just a great starting point; car must have sporty feel, comfortable interior ect, and most importantly, have that "flash" appeal.I realize it's just one anecdotal story from me, but a friend who was a former M3 owner, currently driving an X5 (serial BMW buyer ), said he's very seriously considering one, mostly dependent on availability/ADM, and according to him, that's not a unique sentiment in a few BMW channels. I'm not sure what the tipping point was, but I'm sure a combination of a reasonably modern design + massive HP + DCT overcoming things like interior quality.
I'll see how it plays out for him, I mentioned signing up here.
I hope so.I guess we are due for another press release or a leak. It's obviously getting pretty dry around here.
My dealership said order banks open in a little over a week. Might be quiet until then, but hope not!I guess we are due for another press release or a leak. It's obviously getting pretty dry around here.
I don’t get how order banks could open before price a final price is released.Stangmode just interviewed the chief engineer.
they haven’t released pricing and won’t eont o summer.
Sounds crazy but a lot of guys like me are ready to pay for an MSRP deal or close because of history with buying Cobras and Shelbys. I really don’t care what MSRP is, I just want a fair deal to spec the car to my goals.I don’t get how order banks could open before price a final price is released.
It is no different then when a new "supercar" is announced and the manufacturer says that only 150 copies are going to be made and they are all sold before even one is made..... it is called, MONEY!!!I don’t get how order banks could open before price a final price is released.
Oh I agree that I’m ready to buy regardless of the MSRP but it just seems like a funny business practice to accept a bunch of orders and then decide or release pricing info. Final pricing could really make or break a lot of folks especially with ADM.Sounds crazy but a lot of guys like me are ready to pay for an MSRP deal or close because of history with buying Cobras and Shelbys.

MSRP has historically been fair, ADMs not so much.

The best I’ve seen to date is Ford delivering the then new GT to customers without having released its HP/TQ.I don’t get how order banks could open before price a final price is released.
Correct...Uhhh, Ford went out, purchased a 458, took the engine apart, and created the voodoo from what they learned using the coyote architecture. The Coyote was not the inspiration for the voodoo, it was the 458.
