As for the NSX, I expect it to lose badly to the Z06, GT350R, and the GTR. Also, the pic I saw earlier needs to be fixed. The GT350/R are rated at 500+ hp, not 500hp. Most rumors have it in the 520-530hp range. It's a 400ft-lbs engine that revs to 8200rpm; I think 500hp should be a cakewalk.

I don't really care what any of the specs of the Ford GT entail.
But I already know exactly how I am ordering one. In fact I called 5 dealers and made sure Im on the list when it comes time. Figured I'd cover my basis to "which dealer wants to screw me the least"

Expect about a 20-50k dealer markup. Production run maybe 800 -1000 cars. with each dealer getting 1-2 cars a year

I think personally think that's too cheap. That comes in slightly above 05-06 GT MSRP. The GT doesn't compare with the McClaren, and nor would anyone cross shop them. Most people buying the GT and McClaren have 5+ cars already. With the increased use of carbon fiber body, carbon ceramic technology (first ever for Ford) and 10 years of inflation, I could see it at a base of 200k. Which seems like a bargain compared to going 2006 GT prices. What will depend on the price is how much R&D we see over the next year and track testing. 175k would be nice though!

They made a little over 4k 05/06 Ford GTs and they were, and still are, awesome cars with a lot of potential in them. I hope the new Ford GT will be even better than the last.
And I'm sure the car will have a premium price added to it and $50k extra will be the norm for this car....minimal. Since dealers are douche bags and people will pay that extra price. |

We will see what the performance figures come out to be. Don't get me wrong, I would get the Ford GT in a heartbeat over the NSX if they were within 25k of each other. Hell, maybe even 50k. But the GT wouldn't be worth more than that difference (to me!).

So what do you think this will weigh? The previous gen GT weighed in at 3350 lbs and this one looks to be considerably lighter. Dare I say around 3000-3100?

Ah, another clueless car-noob running his mouth on m3post, go figure.
Based on the fact that it will be underpowered, under-tired, and no longer has the suspension advantage that it had back in the 90s. It's going to get its ass kicked. Mark my words, but I'll make sure you don't forget, kid.
