I made a statement that, IMO, I could see loaded GT500 coupes wearing a sticker that said $50,000 without causing a spit take. Effectively my statement wasn't too far from simply saying that Ford's sticker price is on the money

ADM's don't seriously enter into the equation because they never had much to do with what I'm talking about. I did reference ADM's to point out that Ford could obviously have asked more for the car than they did, but all I really did there was to point out the obvious. My argument focused upon what the GT500 actually stickers for, the value it provides at that price point, and the actual value of the car IMO. ADM's have little or nothing to do with any of that, and since the ADM discussion has been done to death by this point it doesn't hold much interest for me.
