Not "programming"
The GT500 Program itself. ( im speaking on behalf of someone else but interpretation of their statement.

If you runnin these circles. You refer to something such as the gt500s overall situation as
"A program".

Example's
"I worked in several race programs in my career."
Or
"That Toyota program when Gurney ran it was crazy... Unlike any other race program Ive ever been in"

He us referring to the actual production of the car itself by FOMOCO AS A "PROGRAM".
He builds parts for the GT500 "program". & has yet to hear about future purchase orders of his parts he made for the 2020 "Program".

DZ85, forgive me if i am also misinterpreting your statement.

Your verbage is what we would use in the racing industry in regards to
any ...
well...
"program"
lmao

DZ85...any concerns you have to re-bid it?
or were excluded from the opportunity to bit the contract for 2021+?
That was an auto correct mistake. I'm aware of program/programming. You can see in my previous post I asked if he was referring to the gt500 program.

Can I buy one without an ADM? Nope? Ok, not interested. Overpriced.
This is exactly why I'm hoping the Z06 is a FPCTT as rumored. If the Ford dealers don't get religion at that point, I will order my 16th Corvette.

Mike have you heard any advance rumor on what the Z06 will do with regard to performance? I saw some spy video online that showed a heavily camouflaged Corvette and you could hear the wail of (what I assume was) a FPC engine. Nobody proffered guesses about redline, HP levels, acceleration, etc.. Thoughts?

With any luck the production volume stays low and by reading the qualifications you just have to scratch your head. If your a dealer and the Covid has impacted your sales and deliveries man do you even qualify. I am a Hellcat owner and I can’t stand how Dodge builds as many as anyone wants. This one reason I spent the money on my GT500 since they are not a mass produced car and or no limit on production.
A bit elitist maybe???
The best way to have a very exclusive car, if that is so important to you, is to buy one so expensive they only a few people can afford it...

A 3 year run makes sense given S650 is scheduled to launch in 2022 as a '23MY.
That was my first thought too. Pretty much confirms the MY2023 launch for Gen 7 again

If your looking for a investment buy Amazon, if your desire is a fun ride then the GT500 is the ticket

I like to disassemble things.
When I mentioned the new program to my dealer he immediately mentioned something.

"They doubled the fee."

Can't wait to see if the price of the car itself went up too.

Gouge the dealers, so they in turn gouge the prospective customer. Fantastic strategy.

Base car yes. I have seen only a handful (2-3) of CFTP cars at MSRP.

It's likely they'll get more GT500s for MY21 & 22 because Ford will build more with the GT350 out of production. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a small bump in the starting price as well the next two years.

With that said, Ford announcing MY 21 & MY22 at once looks to be an effort to stabilize the market and bring transaction prices closer to MSRP.

and by doubling the fee they might cut the number of 'ankle-biter' dealers down.
