Default Saw a new Z06 on the road...

...coming back from Detroit picking up my new (used) truck I passed by a black Z06 going the opposite direction. Then 2 minutes later I hit major rain thus that Z06 drove through it, nobody tell Brian or Dave that tho!

Sweet, so I take it you work at a dealer? Are the dealers going to mark them up like crazy like most of the Ford dealers with the GT, suppose to be a 150k dollar car and the dealer out here is selling it for 250k.

Check sig...I can only speak for what our store will do..MSRP..what other dealers will do is their biz...the law of supply and demand will always set the price on a item wether it is horseshoes or horsefeathers....FYI if you can get a new GT for 250K that is a deal...they have been going for $300K+...

wow that's crazy, hopefully that doesn't happen to the Z06! If it does go for the 65-75k it will be one of the best buys for the money, pretty much equal performance of the GT.

Look on ebay and hardly any of the GTs are getting over $200K. I say by this time next year, sticker will be very common.

These are the 2 highest complete auctions:

$206K

$188K

Where a few in the $175s completed auctions too.

They can "ask" all they want, but I see completed auctions on ebay and I would consider that a better judge of the market then an asking price. I see 1 on ebay with a "buy it now" of $225k but no bites.

I was all excited and wanted to be a player when I thought you had one for $300k.

$150K..$175K..$225K...I could car less..it is an over priced Furd with very limited production numbers..the new Z06 will continue to be the most bang for the buck on the planet..it will be a performance icon and duplicate the numbers that the over priced GT will do..if the GT sold for $20K and came with two beautiful blonds with large hooters I still would not have a stinkin blue oval in my drive way...so what you are trying to tell us is that you are not a player at sticker right... .. you should have been at the Hoootaas in Snellville last nite hanging out with the F body crew instead of surfing the ebay and drooling over Furd GTs...

I'm not a player for either one, I'm just stuck with my slow 01 Z06. For half to a third of the price, I would too go with the new Z06. I have seen the Ford GT in person and liked alot about it, but like you said on the front of the car is that damm blue oval. Sorry I could not hang out last night, I was home making sure the baby, wife and myself didn't end up in Kansas. Twister was spotted about 5-8 miles from here.

I'm way down here near Newnan and I work in the evenings so hard for me to get out. I had yesterday off. I wish I would of did a stock dyno on mine. You don't see too many 01s in the 380 with the mods that I have. Then again most don't have tuning by Alan Futral either.

Yes...a good tune will always bring out some hidden HP..Chevy always leaves some on the table...
