In another link from the talk forum said it would start at just under 40k.
We've know for months that the GT-500 coupe was supposed to cost around $40K MSRP and the Vert ~$45K. We also have known for months that it would have at least 475 HP. We have also known for a long time that it is supposed to go into production around June 06.
My point is that although today was the big GT-500 intro, we're still missing a lot of key information, including performance #s.
The most significant things I learned in the press releases and photos are:
T-6060 trannie with a lower 1st gear than the old T56
3920 lb. for the couple
Seats look like the same thing as a regular Mustang (other than the leather pattern)
Black face gages insteat of silver or white
Has an X pipe exhaust
5w50 full synthetic oil from the factory
3:31 rear axle
Dual 60mm throttle body borrowed from the V10 truck engine
6250 RPM redline ( that super long stroke limits the revs )
14" dual piston front brakes
57/43 F/R weight distribution (although anyone could have figured this out)
Has child proof rear door locks
(doesn't anyone at Ford proof read the crap they put out?)
8.4:1 CR
Sirius Radio optional
Comes with a can of Fix-A-Flat in the trunk instead of a spare tire
So I guess we learned a lot of stuff in the release, just not the 5 most important things to us Mustang fans.
