Yeah. One of the dealers I spoke to mentioned if they were chosen, they were planning to have a $100,000 markup over MSRP. They felt that was a fair amount with what the cars would be worth on the secondary market....

Can anyone tell by their paperwork whether Ford is going to negotiate pricing directly with the customers chosen, or will they need to negotiate markups with dealers? I've been told by a few dealers I know that have applied to sell the new GT that they will have to spend up to $30,000 to be an...

I didn't get picked, but I can't see how they could have done it better. If only Ford GT owners were chosen, that's still a group of over 3,000 to select from without considering other factors. Those are pretty steep odds. Hopefully they can figure these out how to ramp up production like BMW...

Very well said.

I owned two 2014 GT500's. (The first one I bought had everything except the glass roof so I traded it after 6 months for another new one that had the glass roof and all of the other options.) That car was pretty great. The new GT350 is amazing. I was able to get one of the 50 2015 GT350...

Nope for me. I am feeling kind of numb. I imagine this is the exact opposite feeling as all of you that were accepted. Truly sad day indeed.....

Thanks! I ordered mine!

Well, I received an email from Ford. They received my completed application... So no "no" yet..... waiting....waiting....waiting.... I guess no news is better than bad news!

Well that fills me with sadness... Good luck to the rest of you guys. This thing is an incredible marvel.

Has anyone heard anything? A buddy of mine told me his was rejected. I haven't heard anything. The last day I was able to edit it and make changes before I went on a vacation with no internet access, I got an email stating mine wasn't complete. Hopefully that was sent from some earlier...

I watched a video recently where a guy was interviewing one of the Ford Execs at the reveal and said "Wow, this is an amazing car." The Ford Exec then said, "Thanks, can I sell you one!" The Interviewer's response was, "I would love to, but I probably can't afford it." I noticed the Ford...

It will definitely not be MSRP, but I do know what the dealer markup will be and it will definitely not be as high as some of the people are speculating. Nor will it be as high as other people paid the last time around for the early cars. They want to keep as many of the cars in the area as...

I believe the term is free market system. I have always wanted an 05-06 GT. I remember seeing a Gulf one at a dealer about an hour from my house when they first came out. The dealer said they wanted 100k over sticker. I was so mad I just left. Every time I have seen any GT since, it was priced...

The dealer that I work with is one of the largest in my state. They had gotten two or three GT's last time around and presold them to customers. They are a great local dealer. I have purchased two 2014 GT500's, a 2014 Raptor, and a 2015 F150 in the last year and few months from them. They...

Has anyone seen what the wheel/tire size is for the car? I saw that the GT350R is going to have 11" Wide Wheels in the front and 11.5" wheels in the back. I looked at a new Viper last week and the tire size for the back wheels was a 355. I am just curious what sort of rubber these will have...
