So let's take a GT350R which arguably will have more expensive things on it that the GT500 won't..like the carbon fiber composite wheels and instead go with lightweight forged units. So again..price washes out there.
Throw in some comfort bits the GT350's don't have, and an automatic option (either DCT or the A10) and I'd say, realistically, you're looking at a $70,000 GT500 on the upper end, maybe $75,000 loaded to the gills.
Not cheap for a Mustang, but also I don't think FoMoCo is willing to touch the 100K barrier yet with the Mustang, just like GM isn't with the Camaro.

Yes, it needs to come in at a price competitive to the ZL1, ZL1 1LE, and the Hellcat. And at that price it needs to come with full options just like the aforementioned vehicles come. None of this bullshit where you have to choose a "tech package" on top of the MSRP but then you can't add this or that without removing the "tech package" and if you do then you're stuck with the base Mustang infotainment stuff and no heated seats etc. The ZL1 has everything standard. So does the Hellcat. Ford is the only one in the same price range that has base equipment in their Shelby. If they do that with the GT500 then I'll lose what dwindling respect I have left, lol!!

That is exactly what I do. I enjoy my car. And I'm glad you'll have your tires in so you can get out there and enjoy yours and stop trolling us, lol. It's all in good fun tho. Safe driving man.
