I don't for see the car breaking 90K unless there are a massive amount of options to add up. Otherwise I think the car is going to start around 71-73k and go up from there. I'm really intrigued to see what comes, because someone is saying a power to weight ratio of 5.76 and with a modest 715ish HP your talking a pretty substantial weight gain, like up around 4100-4150. Which is quite different then what we have been hearing from Bmac.How are you calculating inflation?
I don’t think it will break 90. My R was 68k. One grand more than your GT500. You can’t just apply straight inflation (your calculation is way off if you’re talking about dollar inflation anyway). Technology gets cheaper over time, and the more tech you can apply the better off you are in being able to reduce significant cost. Economies of scale change, etc etc
Look at the Demon. What’s the sticker, 86k? And look at all the other stuff you get with it. Extra wheels, track box filled with stuff, delivered by an actual high end car carrier versus regular old rail or transport, etc...
End of day I think it will be mid 70s to low 80s. I don’t think it will break 90.
Edit: I will add after thinking more about what you’re saying. You’re probably not talking about dollar inflation. It’s very likely that this car will have more than $10-$15k in improvements over the last GT500, but I’ll still argue other costs will have been reduced, so the true number is probably somewhere in between.
Either way we are all hoping for the same thing. Another Ford Mustang that can punch way above it’s class
