They don’t need to increase the price to reduce adm’s. Just do away with the stupid allocation process. Allow anyone that wants to buy your product to walk into a dealer and order the car they want. Problem solved. Adm’s only help sell competitors cars. I don’t know anyone that had more interest in the gt350 because dealers wanted above msrp. But I know quite a few that bought corvettes as well as other cars because of the mark up.
True, but a quick search on cars.com shows ~150 new base GT350's under $60k. Some start as low as $55k. I'd like to think, okay... hope, a "base" GT500 would come in under $70k.This gt500 is tearing you guys apart. It hurts me to lerk over here and see you guys hurting each other with your words.
On a serious note, everyone is looking at weight and how ford is probably going to use more carbon fiber and aluminum to bring the weight down. I think the bigger picture is going to be price. A 2019 gt350r is tipping the scales at $69k this year with the upgrades it got. Now add a supercharger, additional coolers, bigger tranny, bigger brakes, more aluminum, more carbon fiber, and all the tech goodies that the 350r doesn’t have. Where is this car going to land? Are we looking at an $80k-$100k Mustang? What numbers will this car need to pull to be considered a success at that price point and this late in the game? Is ford aiming too low at cars that are several years old(zl1/hellcat) or is it going to come out and just decimate all?
Hurry up ford, your gt500 is tearing this forum apart
Whether its called the R or KR, it’s coming.
The GT500 has never had a target. There has never been a Camaro or Challenger which was anywhere near the ballpark, performance-wise. This time will be no different.
God, that's ugly. The grill looks prolapsed.If it can outperform this car on the track and have better street manners Ford will have delivered a huge win.
Ok.....I’ll ask again. Where has this been confirmed? I’m not talking some forum post from some guy that had a beer with another guy who met a guy whose cousin used to work at a ford dealer and has the inside scoop. I’m not saying there is not an r/kr coming, I want to see where this info is coming from. The only thing I’ve seen is speculation based on a test mule having a small rear wing and rumors that a r/kr would have a bigger one
The previous 500 didn’t have the 1le or hellcats to compete with. This time is different
I hate to break it to you, but info over beers is the predominant source of info on here.
Preach!
And those cars haven’t had a GT500 to compete with. Was fun for a while, but once the King of the Road arrives, they have to get back at the end of the line.
