11 GT500 price list has not been released yet, nor is pricing showing in the order banks as of last night. I suspect we'll see a fair bump in price vs 2010 for inflation and the aluminum block, as well as the other upgrades.

I'm probably asking too much when I say, as long as it's under $60k out the door!


My guess is base price will break 50K

Elect Package is probably the same price as the GT, right?

I would have preferred white stripes with black accents.
305's wont fit without rubbing according to SVT engineers, at least within factory spec guidlines.

I hear what you're saying, but at least they are giving us a rim we can work with! Smoke up the GY's and then go get yourself some real meat.

As for the stripes, I'm feeling the same on the Sterling Grey. Red stripes with Black accents... I was hoping for Black with Red accents, I guess we'll have to see what it looks like before I decide for a different car color or just rip the stripes off and have my "own" put on.. I planned on having them painted in under the clear coat anyway... the factory vinyl is really just the template in my mind...

We need a 10.5" tire minimum to get a 305 under the car properly, it can be done. CCW Wheels have the right offsets and people are running 11" wide out bck with 305's.

I do like the 20"s on it, and I'm interested to see what the stripes look like. Still no mention of Recaros...dang.

Can we take the Perf. Pkg wheel and have it widened to fit 305's?

I'm all about a nice form fitting performance seat. I was really hoping they'd be an option on the 2011s.

I agree 100%. How about some Cobra Misano's? You'd have to figure away around the airbag sensors but they'd be sweet in the GT500.

Cobra makes some bad$$$ seats, but they're super expensive. I'd love for some factory Recaros with SABs and heated seats. That would be absolutely awesome!

You and me both (but I'd skip the heated seats).

I think you're going to see some images a few days early from what I heard.

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see something by the end of the week. Hopefully someone breaks embargo on pics and it's all over.

Looks like HID's are the only headlights available on the 2011 GT500. I love the look of the new SVT Performance Package wheels! They're reminiscent of the Steeda Q550's uber-expensive HRE wheels!

Looks like a painted aluminum from the order guide pic.

Hey Brian, I'm not sure what your pay plan is but I'm sure its better than mine being your not a salesperson. I am hating the strict "comission only" anymore. No raises and everything is going up in price and the sales aren't coming in like before. And I am the SYNC Specialist at work and I don't get anything extra for that. We're both in the same boat brother.
