So who is getting one?

The pic of this car is simply amazing. Any estimates on how much they might go for.

I read in the Wall Street Journal today that it will start at $100,000.

You wish! Thats what the MSRP will probably be, but with supply and demand and dealer greed, the GT40 will be selling close to the $200K range.

not if consumers have anything to do with it. When the f150 lightning came out in 99 dedalres were charging 5k over list. no one got one so they had to put them on list.

When the cobrra comes out, barely anyone is getting one until it comes to list.

If somone does buy it at 200k then some of us still get ford lincoln mercury products discounted. (A and X plan) So we still get it for what the factory says x plan is.

150-200k is what the article said from a different link.
OOFAH!

Yeah, those cars are pretty crazy. Nice to see ford is bringing back the muscle car (i.e. GT40, Mustang MachI, recent Thunderbird). GT40 comes w/ 500hp, supercharged. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't they have the same motor as the F150 Lightning. The 5.4 L DOHC V8, supercharged. Why is the GT40 sqeezing 120 more ponies.

gt 40 has 4 valve per cylinder. lightning only has 3.

Rumors are flying about what the next lightning will have in it. Dodge cehated, and put a viper engine in a ram, and when ajck colleti heard about it all he siad was "save your pennies boys" Ford will always dominate the sport trtuck market as long a colletti is there.

Yeah I heard about that. People think that since dodge dropped in the Viper engine, he's gonna drop in the gt40. I hope he does. Go Ford!!!
