Good luck with that. I looked in a 100 mile radius of my zip on Autotrader yesterday and saw very few if any GT500 for sale at that price.
For $53k I would look at used C7 Corvettes, C6 Z06, used Cayman S after '09, and I am sure a few other candidates would also pop up while looking.
For...
I agree Stuntman. There have almost always been street legal fast cars that were outside a set of racing rules. I for one am glad to see that Ford did not restrict the performance of the GT350 to an arbitrary set of rules, and I even commented that I hoped they would,t a number of pages ago...
Heck, for $53k I'll even throw in the 18x10 Team Dynamic wheels, the 19x9 and 19x10 FRPP wheels, stock springs, owners kit and car cover (never opened)! :cheers:
The wing on the 302S and R actually dented the trunk lid, not just cracked the paint! A buddy runs a '13 R that I have my eye on when they finish racing it. They also have a Agent 47 Harbinger that they made me sign a waiver to drive...
I think it safe to say the GT500 will have a V8 and some type of forced induction. The GT500 has always been the big motor car no matter the era it was built. Early cars were 428 powered beasts and later 5.4 and 5.8 liter cars. Perhaps the new GT500 will use a 5.2 liter coyote of some type with...
If the R is $65k, count me in. At least in a few years when cooler heads prevail on pricing. I see these cars commanding some ADM for quite some time. In a few years I will be ready to buy another car and this car will be on the list, in R trim and with no tech package.
I'm strictly an HPDE guy. I want to go back to PITT as it appears they have made many changes under current ownership and I am curious about the changes from a "competitor venue" standpoint.
Here's the rub for me, I DO get on track often. I manage a track not far from you, but not PITT Race, and even then I couldn't get all out of this car. The speeds it is capable of in stock form make me nervous to do it with out a roll cage and full compliment of safety gear. Hans, 6 point, etc...
Just when I thought I would be happy owning the last and best handling solid axle Mustang and would let go any thoughts of replacing it, Ford goes and does this?!?!? Sweet lord Jesus.
I informed my wife this morning that Ford may have seriously dented our retirement plans. Like you Pill, I...
I have smoked since I was 14, and am now 47. I have stopped a few times, once for a year and again for 6 years. When I stopped for 6 years I did it cold turkey and had ZERO cravings. I was to the point that I did not enjoy it, so I bought a carton and told myself every time I smoked how much I...
I have friends with Corvette ZR1s equipped with CC brakes. If the pads wear down enough to trigger the wheel sensor, the sensors need replacing at about $160.00 each. If you ignore the warning the sensor gives you, rotor replacement is in your future. I have also been told by these same owners...

Could this be our GT350R on a world stage??? They mention Multimatic is developing the new racer.
When the '87 GT came out I hated the rear of that car. I thought the louvered taillights and rear valance were ugly, but I bought an '88 GT years later.
When the '95 Mustang came out I was disappointed by the weight gain, and disappointed further still when the 4.6 replaced the 5.0. I bought a...
Eh, I will wait until one shows up here with a good driver and I'll go out and see if I can chase him down.
One of our instructors had a '13 Boss that he traded in for a '15 PP GT. I was always faster than him in the Boss v Boss on track, so if now it gets hard to catch him, or I can't catch...
Goat, I agree the Hellcat is no track car, and the engineers from Chrysler were very clear about it when they were here. It is a car that you can take to any type of track you want, lay down respectable numbers, and drive home.
I was in no way suggesting that the Hellcat is a better track star...
LOL. I have to laugh at this "test". They drove the Challenger in Sport?? Turned the setting to Track and the "driver" couldn't handle the car? Seriously???
We did a media event here at Summit Point, put all the Hellcats in Track and sent out journalists to drive the cars. They all came back...
I think you have to ask yourself what you prefer in a car. If it is precision and balance, the Porsche will be the victor. If you want a more raw feel and need that V8 torque, Mustang.
I too toy with the idea of replacing my Boss 302 with an older Cayman S, but in the end I just love the way my...
