Ummm we're not talking about drag cars here  . With the same driver in all cars the GT is considerably slower than the other cars mentioned. Have a look here the biggest problem being that it's American. Are all your roads straight down there? J/K  .
Wait a second. The GT is the fifth fastest car EVER run around Top Gear's track, and if you exempt the Atom from the list (which is an easy thing to do seeing as how it's barely a car), it's fourth. And it's behind ONLY the Enzo, McMerc, and Carrera GT, and AHEAD of anything that even remotely compares to it in sticker price.
I think being only a second off the pace of a McMerc is worth saving almost $300K, myself.
well said. that and its a FORD!!!!!!!

AutoWeek is full of advertisements from exotic car dealerships and there are at least 2-3 ads, sometimes more than a half-dozen, in it every week for GTs, all of which are well over $250,000 new. And they regularly change, so it's not like they're advertising the same one over and over again because they can't sell it.
Looking through it right now, there's a dealership selling their 3rd GT (previously sold #78 and #291 -- not giving the number of this one) for $275,000 (Chicago Area). Another Private Seller, selling a used one (no miles given), 'discounted for immediate sale' to $225,000 (Tampa Bay area).
Looking through Ebay not a single one is under $220,000, some are up to $300,000... Oh, well except for that one where you're buying one that "will be made before the end of 2005" for $185,000.
A local Ford dealer a few miles away has one in his showroom for $300,000.
Yes, the value of them is going down. But it is still WAY above $160,000.
If you know where you can pick up GTs for $160,000 you need to get into the business of flipping them bad boys. You'd be set for life in a month. Anyone selling them for that price is stupid when the market is clamoring for them well over $200,000. Particularly a dealer in Beverly Hills, probably the single most concentrated area of wealth in the nation. He could list them on Ebay for $60K more and turn them in a week.
Since he beat me to it, I will just quote him as my proof. And I am very sorry for not running my post through a spell check, ass.

Not tyring to bring back a thread from a month ago but I just came across something that shows that anyone in this day and age paying $250K is a FUGGIN MORON. Recent sales.

Yep, a friend of mine was at a dealership in San Diego and was told they sold one for 330K.

They have more money than you so I have a hard time seeing how you are any smarter.

Wow. Did your brain stall when you wrote that? Since when does money = intelligence. If I win the lottery does my IQ increase instantly?
While I do agree for the most part, making vast sums of money takes a talent or ability, some of the dumbest people I've ever known are rich while some of the smartest people I've known live an inch from poverty.
Rant over, back on topic...
I don't really like the GT all that much. I never likes the interior and to me, replicating the styling from the original is not very original at all. Nothing wrong with the styling, but I've seen it before.

Wow. That is a completley idiotic statement. You don't have to be smart to have money. After all wealth can come from many different places (work, investments, inheritence, winning the lotto, etc...). So I re-iterate my statement ANYONE PAYING THOSE PRICES IS A FUGGIN MORON.

If you go to the mall and buy a nice shirt or pair of pants for $70, there are people who might call you a "FUGGIN MORON" because they would never spend so much on clothes.
Does that mean you are? No, you have the money to spend, you want the shirt, you pay for it. It's all relative to your perception of value and income level.
And to people at that income level (millions of dollars), another 50-100K over sticker is not really a concern. They want the car now, they pay for it.
