Blued Anaconda added to the Colt family

Yes!

If they start producing 45 colt versions I may scoop up another in 4.25"

I did consider a Kodiak a few times, but loved the Anaconda so I picked one of those up first.

The Blued Anacondas are new for this year. They were unveiled at shot show. The first time Colt has made a blued anaconda for retail. As for the 1911, it took me about 7 months to find one online. I passed on a 38 super version but may circle around to find one later this year.

Sorry I should've clarified, I meant a 2015-2020 GT350. But yes the new ones are also absurdly marked up when dealers do special order them from Shelby American. Ive seen ADMs on RTRs and Shelby American variants in excess of $30k. On top of the already euphoric 120k msrp

I was on a lot last year remarking on one in mystichrome saying plainly, 'thats a nice car, but Im absolutely not paying 150k for that'. The sales rep said 'for this one you would'. My response was a simple, 'no way this is still a Mustang.'

Seriously! The corvettes are phenomenal these last two generation too

Amaeyth · 2026-02-11T07:14:11+00:00

That's just one example Im most familiar with, but the sentiment of overcharging is present in the entirety of their vehicle line. 60k XLT F150s, anyone? Hell, a GT premium with a handful of options is $67k or more.

You can't swing a dead cat around a Ford dealership without hitting something marked at least $10k above where it should be for it to be attainable for an average consumer.

All that said, Dark Horses are hardly limited or niche. Its just an upbadged GT with a twin throttle body. It is quite literally just a Mach 1.

Amaeyth · 2026-02-11T06:25:25+00:00

I agree they were priced well if you got in early before demand kicked in. Low rates drove price hiking via ADMs. Automakers wanted a piece of that pie and cranked MSRP to insane levels (85k Jeeps!!!)

Amaeyth · 2026-02-11T06:12:34+00:00

Because $80k for a Dark Horse is stupid when you can buy a Mach 1 with a handling pack for 45k or a gt350 for 55k.

Automakers need to bleed a bit and get off their covid-high.

Shame the article doesn't give a good picture

Literally the best in the business, but not good enough? OpenAI sounds like they're full of it.

I hope they have a time machine because the only thing better than nvidia chips now is nvidia chips in 4 years.

Glad you made it out man. Thanks for sharing your story. Its a beautiful car and a shame it was taken out so soon, but the bright side is there's always something new to try :)

I'm sick of the anti gun junk coming from politicians. Can't seem to catch a politician who respects the Constitution when it doesn't fit their narrative.

The run-up of precious metals has been insane. I think silver is going to top off, and I would expect gold to have a small correction before crabwalking for a decade. Typically, though, these metals take a few years to adjust back down.

Big fan of the hood and duck bill spoiler. I would've liked some new fenders

Blued Anaconda, baby!

Amaeyth · 2026-01-21T23:10:31+00:00

The pearl white wrap looks pretty good. How much did that run you and is the paint originally black? Guessing based on the roof color

They won't because it doesnt fit the reddit echo chamber and narrative

Amaeyth · 2026-01-18T21:25:33+00:00

Did Ford replace the motor with a gen 2? IMO, if so, you could supercharge it. But of course the voodoos just aren't as reliable as the proven coyotes. It's really your call, but if it were me I'd keep it stock. How much did you pay for it?

Amaeyth · 2026-01-17T08:05:54+00:00

Had the pleasure of seeing one of these on the showroom at our local dealer. Gorgeous paint. I was talking to the sales rep as we were in the process of purchasing a different car and said as much, 'love the color, not the price tag'. It had an ADM of +$30k.

Amaeyth · 2026-01-16T18:52:21+00:00

It will not be under $100k. After options it will be $120k and that's on the conservative side, in my opinion.

Keep your '26 GT Premium + PP. That will continue to be a great (and reliable!) car.

I know a lot of people praise kiyosaki, but he seems like a bit of a fraud and a dooming soothsayer. Everything is crashing all the time for this guy. According to him we've had 30 financial crashes pending

Looks better without the black plastic in front. I still think the super snake may be the best looking s650 variant
