Not much of a marketing plan, if in fact those are the buyers. Basically just a financial plan to homologate at a price that is consistent with competitor targets. I would have put the cars in the hands of different demographic.
How many members will pay 400K and are interested in buying new GT..

I guess I'm glad that I won't be fighting over one - even one that gets race damaged will be above my financial capability. At least if I want to stay in retirement and live off my current investments. I really don't want to have to go back to work!

There arent that many buyers at $400K
Even at $150K GT's sat on lots til 2007; and that was with a booming economy, real estate, stock, private equity, VC, PE, HF market
What ever it prices at, 6 mo later cars will be dumped and flipped like any other asset.
Talk is cheap; $400K aint.

Margaret wants one even at $400,000.00 . Me, not so much .. that is a lot of money.
But look at it this way... When we have our FordGT Forum Rally XI, XII and XIII, we may get to meet Justin Verlander and his GF,
or Bill Clinton and Hillary or Donald Trump or Paris Hilton and others... just think of it. !!

even WAY OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES ------ AND ON TO THE MIDDLE EAST HERE we think its ALOTTTTTT AND NOT SO MANY OF THE PPL HERE INCLUDING ME COULD AFFORD SUCH THING ----- PLUS MENTALITY DIDNT CHANGE V6 PRICED TO A V12 unless real world proved tht its faster than the aventador then ppl might be intrested .... but as you guys said its more like buying an real estate or a house its more of an investment than for drivers ..... especially after everyone knowing about how high our gt prices went uppppp

Whatever the list price, I'm in. But I will not get reamed by Dealers throwing on huge mark-ups (well,maybe I'd go twenty over......)? My guess has always been high threes/low fours so I'm not passing out over the "Aventador price range" remark. The one thing that would put me off is if it truly is only 600hp, this car needs to be 675-700+ in order to be a class leader

I voted yes at the $400k but I wont pay the ridiculous mark ups they are going to ask. I would pay up to $50k over and that is it. I am 1st on the list with two dealers and it will be a slim chance either of them get one.
I am torn at their scope of market, I mean how do you take a 6cyl ford and target the flagship Lamborghini?? I don't think it is fair to the loyal GT people and there is a lot of room for failure when you set your sights that high. Guess I am going to forget about the GT and start laying the ground work for my dream car.......Pagani!!

I am in for sure! I may be crazy but I think $500k is the magic number with this car that buyers will be willing to pay. I have given my name to many so when the list forms, I will be on some ones! lol

OK, I offer Ford a solution, Here we have the new GT, Drop dead gorgeous, incredibly positive and enthusiastic response by the press and public alike! Only make 1200 and all the headaches which dealers and customer gets one!! Seems the limiting step is the chassis, "bake"" one by one and push the price over $400?! Let the select few enter a bidding war, why not make a few thousand more out of a combination of aluminum and CF, drop the price a $100k and let the rest of us of a chance to acquire one! Keep all the rest the same, i will take the 200lbs extra!! Would make alot more people happy and solve the distribution problem!

Up here in Canada I bought 3 of the 277 that came into Canada. The way things are looking I won't get a 2016. Is there no Loyalty with Big Business. Also I took my trade in a Ford Dealership, Journeyman Auto mechanic 1980 , I bleed Blue. I also have been told I would get one, but am not holding my breath. Might have to buy a mid engine corvette when they come out, as my name is on that list too..

Dave and Rex ...between your video clip of the 'bieberization of America' and the ''photoshop of beiber on the beaver", you have made my evening complete with a hearty laugh. 
...but yes, I would like to meet the "Beibs" at Rally XII... I am told he is a very accomplished race car driver.. (Ron and Andy told me that)
Damn...talk about a hi-jacked thread...!
