HaHa! I hope that even people with money who could afford that ridiculous ass price, just DON'T buy it because of how obsurd that markup is. and that in a year, or two they have to sell it for BELOW sticker just to get rid of it, and make room in the show room!
that's strate i'gnant pawtnuh!

The $80K is the 1st production car to feature built in stealership markup in it's price, why pay more?

how big of a difference is there between this and the regular gt500
Carbon fiber hood, specially made tires just for this model, HID's, dashstrokable leather dash, a new cold air intake, stiffer lower suspension, 25% shorter throw shifter, quicker throttle response, the Shelby GT500KR has been fitted with an elevated axle vent reservoir to prevent axle fluid expulsion during sustained periods of performance driving or track-day use. Worth an extra $40K?

See this simply won't happen, unless the economy takes a turn for the absolute worst and we move right past a recession into a depression. With 600 of these cars being produced, I suspect they won't have a problem selling these cars. Now the markup is a different story. It may go down dramatically over time.
This is just a testament to how crazy mustang enthusiasts actually are! Would I spend that kind of money on a golf-based supercar? Eh, probably not (though that W12 GTI concept/one-off was kind of interesting! ). For 80k, I think I'd rather have a 997S. Or if possible maybe some type of used Aston (would love an AMV8!).

there's a reason car manufacturers don't bother listening to TCL "wisdom."
a brief list of cars I would rather purchase for 150k: Ferrari 360, Ferrari 575M, Aston Martin DB9, Ford GT, Merc CLK63 Black, Lambo Gallardo, 911GT3 RS
Of course I could keep going but just to illustrate the point of the competition this car must go against when listed at $154k.
new - '06 VW Passat 3.6AWD old - '96 BMW 328i Convertible Hardtop (FOR SALE as of 10/11/06) email rempel07@yahoo.com for price and pictures
For 180 stacks the stealership could've a least put actual pictures up
Not that it would stop someone for buying it anyway, but still

* THE SHELBY KR's will be "epa" rated and street legal before May 1st. DON't Panic (only if you drive a car with an ugly bow tie, you should be worried)
I thought the wheels looked nicer on the concept version....before anyone says anything about that, I know a concept is a concept, but they made it seem like the car was going to go into production the way it already was.
OH and the picture definitely is Pshopped

The AMG was always the slutty girl with fake boobs. You can run her to 186 mph and it will be the time of your life. Little scary, though.
The M6 is the supermodel that just gave birth to your 3rd child, two weeks later she appears at your pool party in a bikini that makes all the other girls hate her.

If it means anything to you...many of the Mustang/Vette owners that pay 6 figures (at B-J for example) have a serious collection and may even own some of the cars you mentioned. It's not like anyone paying $150K for a new Mustang is gonna use it as a daily driver. Most of the owners, like most of the Ford GT owners will treat it as a garage queen and keep it for the long haul. The owner of my local Ford dealership bought the first GT allocated to his shop and 3 yrs later, it's still in the showroom w/ less than 50 miles on the clock. He says he's going to do the exact same thing with a GT500KR.
They probably don't even have the car (or have it yet)..
True, scratch that last head bang from the record counsel....

Yeah, the wheels were like 20s but they didn't seem impossibly big. The production wheels are, what, 18s? The car sure would look better with them concept wheels.

Not that more than 20 of these things will ever see any track time... but if I'm putting together a track-ready Mustang, I certainly don't want heavy-ass 20" wheels on it.

Just because you watch Top Gear doesn't mean you should use words like "rubbish" and "brilliant" in everyday conversations... How long until the Detroit Lions win a Super Bowl? 726 years
