are you trying to be funny? I'm not an engineer (or a comedian.)
... or an engineer comedian!

A uniform beam walks into a bar. The barman asks, "What would you like, good sir?"

The beam replies "Ummm… just give me a moment."

2016 Shelby GT350, 2017 Ford Focus ST, On Order 2020 CTFP Shelby GT 500 with POTTS. Car is released and awaiting shipment. I am running out of time before having to leave for Japan on July 29th.
The price brought a lot of trolls out. You can’t eat at Ruth’s Chris Streak House at the price of a McDonald’s Value Meal. A well equipped 760 HP car for 80k is not bad. People are out buying 100k Lexus RS500s and nobody is trolling them for buying an over priced Toyota Camry! Also nobody complained about the GT350 MSRP. My GT500 will cost about 20k more than my GT350. For 20k more I get 234 more horsepower, a modern DCT transmission that shifts much better than me, a B and O stereo (Big Upgrade Over Crappy 2016 GT350 Stereo), BLISS Cross Traffic Alert, Ford Pass/WiFi. Yes it will still have paint defects, cheapish interior features but so what. If that is what you want go get one of the Bespoke brands and be gone from this thread.

I will continue with my plan to wait 12 to 18 months and get on lists for MSRP and around 80k OTD.

If things get grime and I grow impatient, back to a new 350 or hellcat.

The actual fact is people are thinking In 2006 dollars. 5k for stripes would have been expensive but would have gotten a pass. Dollars are extremely small now, but people still think a 6 figure income means you've made it. Not even close!

Mods.... May I have Mod power to keep politics out of my threads please? (It doesn't hurt to ask).

Well the dust has settled. We all pretty much know how we feel about the new GT500. For those who were considering purchase..... Are you in? Or are you out?
When they offer a manual transmission...i will be in! Until then...i made my own GT500 for less than half the price

Why not sc a Bullitt or GT350? The 350 has forged internals and likely can make 750+ at the wheels safely with a lot of the same stuff. Unless it's an R you can do it cheaply, now and with a stick.
