Think of it this way. If you in the market for a GT 500 and haven't been able to get one at a reasonable price, this GT 500KR is a new target for the guys that "have more money than sense", and tend to fuel those ADM.

Now 1000 of those type of buyers will look to the GT 500KR instead of the GT 500. Maybe it will help reduce ADMs on the standard GT 500.

Those with more money than brains already have theirs (they paid 25-35k over sticker) So maybe now they will be selling them at low low prices to pick up one of these

FRPP http://www.fordracingparts.com/downl...gs/2007-pp.pdf refer to the GT500 as SVT Mustang Cobra.

I really like the hood and that color combo would be perfeque for AFBLUE.

Well... sort of.

That thing is very Hot. I'm sure it won't compete with a new Z06 in performance. But I guarantee that in 10 years, it will be double the value.

The only thing that has me scratching my head is why continue with the black side mirrors. On a car like this, bring on the color mirrors. Come on guys. By the way, even with black side mirrors, it will still will be the hottest and hardest to get car under $60,000 (before markups).

bah! king of the road edition?! they should come out with a "King of the Hill" edition and have the car run off propane... cause everyone knows that propane is a cleaner burning fuel.

Beautiful

That is One Beautiful Car!!!

Love to have one like anybody else, but I agree with everyone else, six figures Easy!!! With only 1000, sounds like a perfect time to ask 30-50K
above MSRP.

Love to put that Hood on a GT, it would Look Great!!!
