Will their be a super snake or kr version of it?

that thing looks so gooooooood 8-)

Other than the 67 Mustang, I have never really cared for them. This one, in my opinion, and excluding that "bend over and relax your muscles" first color pictured, is the best looking to date. Again, not including the 67 in the mix.

Hopefully the Ford dealers will not see the "GT 500" label as code for "$30,000 Markup".

There have been some great cars recenly, but when yu see the SAME car on the dealers lot 7 moths later, you would think that theyget a clue that just because they think a 2008 GT500 Convertible is worth sticker + $15,000, that doesnt mean the buying public thinks so ;)

The local Roush approved Ford dealer still has the same 10 or so 427/427R/428's on the lot they had 8 months ago.

They have just moved them from the front of the dealership, to the enxtdoor Used Car property.

I loved the test drive in the 427R TrakPak, and the Gt500 felt like fun... but they were not $60,000-fun.

That is my only complaint about the ne "hot" domestics.

Price.

That is a terrific point. Price will always be a factor that keeps these things sitting on the lots and not in more garages. The prices that are being asked for these GT500s is silly.

The car is slightly heavier than the older version, by about 20 pounds- maybe less if you opt out for the Shaker 1000 audio system. This car still uses an iron block up front since the Ford GT block was engineered as a dry sump setup. If the car was 300 lbs lighter, that is an awful lot of weight to be removed out of said car. If memory serves me, the new GT500FR competition version that will be used in the Miller Motorsport challenge is about 300 lbs less than a regular production version GT and the FR is a stripped out race car.

;)

I ain't sayin nutin!

it is significantly less weight... somewhere!

No matter. In this economic climate, I can't afford it anyways.

Awesome car. It really does look great in gray! Can't wait to see them on the road.
