Oh and let's not forget the R&D that Ford had to put into it, the strict standards they have to abide by, the "Shelby" name which brings more money, and it is limited addition...not everyone will be able to get one even if they can afford it whereas the Roush is readily available to anyone who wants one at any time. So all things considered I'm not seeing how the GT500 will be less than $80K.

Yeah, there's a few things the Roush has customized that add some cost that are parts bin parts for the GT500 like the digital screen. The Roush also has other adders like the fake side scoop (why?), hood strut, Roush floor mats, etc. But those don't seem to be big ticket items. Considering the DCT and engine upgrades of the GT500, and totally revised front/rear/hood and tweaked drivetrain and suspension, yeah, $80k wouldn't surprise me. I'm still guessing they'll try to avoid that $80k mark and come in at upper 70s.
