Has the potential to be awesome. Cross your fingers for more power, less weight.

The dealer markup should be obscene

I though the 1st car at B/J was to be a GT-H convertible?

So this one will probably MSRP for what...50-60K and dealer markup will be about the same. Anyone for a $100K + Mustang?

I can't wait to see this new King of the Road!

However, I'm thinkin' that there aren't going to be any drastic changes over the GT500. It will probably get an independant rear, slightly stiffer suspension, and modified front and rear fascia. Hopefully Ford will decide to lighten the KR up a bit by replacing some of the steel body panels (roof, hood, etc.) and the iron engine block with aluminum.

While this is good news, no one will be able to get one because the ADM's on it will be insane. Why Ford has to keep putting out these over priced SE's is beyond me. They should focus on improving the base car and get ready for all the competition that's going to be coming their way. If not there going to get caught with their pants down and the competition will pass them by.
