Went there with the boss (wife) tonight. The list price was 43K, and a 20k additional dealer mark up? Asked why, the salesman who sold me several new Trucks over the years said. They are only making a limited amount, none next year. When he saw the car he though of me? Left the Stealership in a hurry. What do you guys think? Thanks Mike D.
Went to look at the new GT500?

Somebody is feeding you alot of BS!!! In the second paragraph it states that 8000 will be made each year for the next 5 yrs!!! So all these CHUMPS that have to have the first one....GO FOR IT. I'll wait about 2 years and I'll get one under MSRP if I have to wait that long!

saw a new 500 run today at irwindale. Hoping he would better his time from last week which was 8.70 @ 87. Today he ran a 8.30 @ 96. This is his best run to date and i've seen him @ the track for about 4 weeks straight, every thursday. Stock of course, but im not impressed at all. Anyone wanting one should just get a z06.
could always buy the v6 version and drop in a racing motor, with all the goodies fuel management, tranny, rear end, and huge hourse power you would still be wayyyy below the asking price for a new gt 500.
just my 2 cents though, what do i know. Not very much other then wat i saw today, and i wasn't impressed.

96 mph in the 1/8th is hauling ass for a stock car that stickers for $45K.
A stock C6 won't be aywhere near 96 mph in the 1/8th (probably only 90).
When the stupid $20K markup goes away, these will be a pretty cool car for the money.
All for the name, big deal. It will never be worth the coin the originals Shelbys of the 60's 20-30 years down the road. Better to pick up a GT and for around $5500 puchase the Roush supercharger set up. Same HP/performance, does not void the factory warranty and you'll keep $35-40K in your pocket.
You guys have no idea how much of a markup some dealerships are getting up here. Yesterday, I had to go to a local dealership in my neck of the woods. My buddy sent me $20,000 Canadian ( non refundable deposit) to order one for him. Delivery is in May 2007. He works up in northern Alberta on the oil sands. The best deal he found was $100,000 Canadian. I told him he was nuts several times, but he wanted it anyway. I am still shaking my head. He ordered a silver grey with the big stereo and stripe delete. I would imagine for that kind of money, I could find some other options with far greater potential. Crazy Huh?
