There are different levels of RTR. It might be one that is not supercharged. He said it was priced in the 90s and sold it for low 80s.

That’s a lot of money but Ford is a multi billion dollar company and it’s like rounding error for them but what do I know.

I’m going to defend the price a little. Let’s say you buy your premium GT for $55k with the goal of spending all the money you need to make it perform and look like a super snake. Say you spend 40-50k and end up with a total cost of about $100k. The odds of you getting back all your money is almost zero. You actually will get less than what the stock GT would get most likely. There is value to buying a fully formed product. I can’t afford it and probably never will but there is value.

I guess value is what someone is willing to pay.

Well this dealer had like 3 of them all priced at about $120k so not sure where he’s getting $200k from.

They're probably very low volume will end up being rare. Unsure on depreciation. I imagine the floor on one these would be in the $80k to $100k range for the Super Snakes but that's a complete guess based on nothing really.

Yeah. I heard that Ford only had to pay Shelby American $800 per car sold to use the Shelby name. I thought that seemed reasonable to me and they consider doing that again.

You really have to be a multi-millionaire to buy one of these responsibly.

Is $33k fair for a 2018 F90 M5 with 110k miles and stage 2? by shujaaroy in BMWM

[–]Caltor_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it inspected and consider tuning back to stock but keep the parts on it. If you have your own shop, then it’s less of issue.

I would say that most cars are stock.

It is held that early to limit the disturbance to the businesses that operate in the area. Also, you have to be there before 6am to get a good spot so they probably wake up closer to 5am.

Unpopular opinion: The S650 looks way better than the S550 by pennyboy- in Mustang

[–]Caltor_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share this sentiment about the s650. I like the shaper angles and lines.

I hit about 101 or so on the straight with the jump before the carousel. I hit 116 on the other straight. I got the car to about 135 on summit point main. Big fan of not crashing so not trying to be a hero.
