Nice runs. GT500 finally getting the big boys. Kinda expected the dig run to be one sided like it was.

I don't know where your shopping online but let me know . Internet prices on these cars are advertised low just to get you into the stealership, then they break the news to you that there is a "market adjustment". Anyway, I figured regular boss' could be had for low $40k, the boss leguna seca was $50k. I don't see 2013 gt500s anywhere near those prices. Hell, dealers in Houston are charging at least $10k market adjustment on top of the MSRP.... And people are paying it! I remember when the 2007 gt500 came out and people were paying waaay over sticker, like 75 grand total, now look 2007 gt500s are worth $30k. It annoys me when people pay over sticker, it makes dealers believe they can charge obscene markups and people will pay. Ruins it for the rest of us, haha. My younger brother has been looking for a reasonably priced (MSRP) '13 gt500, no luck yet and he has been searching since they hit the dealer lots.

They have an amazing launch control but obviously from a roll isn't helping
