Wooptidoo.  All sarcasm aside. It looks awesome. But really does nothing for ford . They love to build cars that no one can go and buy, touch and own. When one can walk in to chevy (ZO6), porsche or BMW and actually buy a car for a reasonable buck compared to MSRP without jumping through hoops and kissing salespersons asses, why bother with ford's games??? It is not that they have this unbelievably better product. It is all their marketing BS and forced supply. I love my 06, and it treats me well. But I had to cut through dealer bs for a few weeks while being lied to by many dealers (including having an ordered car sold out from under me) to get it a smidge under MSRP. And when a customer with money in pocket is interested in buying a GT500 at ONLY sticker, and willing to wait for an ordered car, and you allow dealers to turn away sales, you are playing with a half deck. Sure, ZO6's are in high demand too, and ones on the dealer lots are about 5K above sticker which is not too bad if you have to have a car now. But a dealer will order you one at MSRP or below and in 4 months or so your car comes in. _____________________________ 06' GT Prem, Vista Blue/light graphite. Manual.

That's why they build them.  Shelby makes money on the cars, but Ford makes money on all the cars that are sold because of the attention that the Shelby Mustangs get.  It's not about letting consumers get their hands on a car like that - that's what V6's and GT's are for.  This is an auto show concept car, except that it gets more attention. _____________________________ 'Will Fly for Food' (in reply to Blackhawk07) Post #: 15

Ford desperately needs to build an "aquireable" SE Mustang. I pray for the Boss, Bullitt and Mach 1 to be "aquireable". Why does Ford do this 1000 and less unit BS!!!

Boxsters start at 49k right? find one at a dealer fo under 60... Ive seen used Z06s for way more than msrp...
