Slim to none if most Ford dealers take the same route they have with the Shelby GT500 and Shelby GT.:nonono:

My buddy just picked up an intercooled HO ProCharger setup for his '06 GT 5-speed. He's waiting until his warranty runs out to put it on, but he is worried about blowing something. When the system was on another car it made 485rwhp and he heard the safe limit for '06 GT's is around 450rwhp, so...

Disgusting. I bought my '03 Cobra convertible used for $30,000 back in '03. Now you can't even find a used GT500 without a $5,000+ markup. New ones are even more insane. Why can't they do like they did when the Viper or Elise first came out. Have a list you put your name on at each dealership...

Bah, what a waste. :( If it had a new engine, six speed trans, supercharger, any of that; then I'd be more interested. Otherwise, it's already been done. For a tribute to Steve McQueen and Bullitt.....it's pretty boring. It's not a car I would even think about buying if they mark it up past...

Yea, you don't want to insure a GT500 as your regular car. My first quote for my '03 Cobra in NJ was $9,000. That was for a 45 year old man with a perfect record and CDL licence.:bang: I eventually got it down to $4k though.

Anyone have any opinions on them? I'm looking at their G-Force Street 6-Speed Transmission (T56?). I've got a car making about 1200hp/700ft-lbs of torque and I need a reliable custom built street transmission. They seem to be one of the few companies that would be able to build what I need...

Is it on their website? I can't seem to find it.

Does the pro-chamber come with high-flow cats?

My buddy has an '06 GT and is looking to replace his mid-pipe and axel-backs. However, he needs something with cats, he can't run an O/R pipe. Also, he wants something that has that old muscle car sound and will increase HP. He heard that x-pipes aren't as good as an H-pipe due to turbulence...

That reminds me of the time I pulled into the Mazda dealer with my Cobra to pick up a part for my old Tribute. One of the Mazda salesman sitting out front yelled out, "Now that's a REAL car!" when I drove by. Made me chuckle all the way home.:D

Are the GT500s down to sticker yet, or is everyone still charging ~$15,000 over?:shrug:

I was talking about the C6 Z06. The Ford GT was made to compete with the lower level Ferrari/Lamborghini offerings (and the Viper to a lesser extent). The C6 Z06 was made after the Ford GT to be on the same level. Ford responded by bumping up the GT 50hp, but it still wasn't really enough. For...

Well, actually Ford was going after the low level Ferrari and Lamborghini offerings first, which cost a lot more than the GT. The Ford GT came out before the Corvette Z06, so that really wasn't even on the radar. One has to keep in mind the development cost for Ford to create a new platform for...

Actually, the base GT500 outhandles all of them according to motortrend. GT500 LATERAL ACCELERATION 0.91 g avg MT FIGURE EIGHT 25.7 sec @ 0.72 g avg E63 LATERAL ACCELERATION 0.83 g MT FIGURE EIGHT 26.7 sec @ 0.68 g avg M5 LATERAL ACCELERATION 0.87 g MT FIGURE EIGHT 26.4...

Name all the other 500+hp four seat cars you can buy for less than $50k......the GT500 is the only one out there. It's an amazing Grand Tourer for the money (MSRP or slightly higher, not $10,000+ over:nonono: ). To buy a new E63 AMG or BMW M5 (which are GT cars as well) you are looking at...

Well, since they don't fold it's better to have unpainted mirrors so they are easily replaced when broken off. :D

Nice, USA racing colors.:nice:

Hopefully it will drive the GT500 prices down since all the big money will be going after the KR version.

Well, this is going to be a $100,000 car.:bang: Too bad, as I want one. The hood was the one thing on the GT500's I wasn't crazy about. This hood is 100x better. Anyway, I agree with everyone else here: That is what the GT500 should have been from the get-go!

Hey, you can always live in your car, but you can't drive your house.:D
