Thanks, Jay seems to really love this stuff.
A couple years ago it has hard to imagine a stock car with a warranty that goes 11.6s, over 200mph top end and 24MPG.
This car dynos at between 601-610HP at the wheels stock.

They are just hitting the showroom floors now,ford of Londonderry NH. has 1 in their showroom, along with a 13' gotta have it green boss 302.
The salesman said they are only alotted 2 gt 500's for the yr + they are adding a $15,000 markup above msrp.

 

[DJ Red Barron]

$15K over... Gotta love it.

IIRC, there is a Ford dealership manager here on this board who will be willing to sell them with no markup.


Side note, I want one sooooooooooo bad!
