LOL, it does appear that now that the 20s are harder to get some des are trying to take advantage of people. A friend of mine was in talks with a dealership and they tried to hit him with a $10K markup. But...he got up out the chair and walked out. As long as people continue to walk out then at some point the dealership will drop their BS and sell the car at a fair price...MSRP.

I'd probably snag a ZLE though if I had the chance. I did fall in love with that front end on the shelby though.

It is a nice car. I do think at some point they will be more attainable. When they do I would probably jump on one myself. But that depends on what competition is out there.

-Kooks headers
-No cats full exhaust Xpipe (stock mufflers?)
-ID1300 injectors
-JMS Fuel pump booster
-BMR IRS brace
-BMR cradle lockouts
sure I'm missing something but a decent mod list not minor IMHO.
Just to put this 1000+ hp (950 rwhp) 2020 GT500 in perspective ... here are two Stock Engine (LT1 not even the forged LT4 or LT5) 6th gen SS Camaros on this forum that run mid 9s @ mid 140s ...One is a pretty basic setup with a small P1x blower/Converter and the other is not even boosted but NA ..... Here is the link for the Stock engine P1x SS with mods/time slip (760 rwhp - 9.4 at 140) https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=565560 and here is the Stock Bottom end NA SS with Timeslip/mods (9.3 @ 143) - https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=563280
No doubt these new 2020 GT500s are making Crazy power but the DCT will continue to kill this car in strait line 1/4 mile shame because its also what makes it special. Everyone is saying just wait till the TCM gets tuned but then you will start to see these DCT units flat out blow up / kill clutches (like GTRs did and no aftermarket 10K clutch packs available yet for the Tremec DCT) just not a 1/4 mile car but will be great at other things im sure.
For 950 rwhp that time is a disappointment but im sure it will get better .... however if strait line is your bag your still better off with a boosted 2018+ GT 10 speed if you want to stay in the Ford camp.
Either way its awesome to see them starting to push these cars its a good thing for all of us performance freaks in the community.

Oh wow I was not aware the mod list was that extensive. Yea that is not a minor bolt-on car. And all those mods basically took only about 4 tenths off it. And it probably would cost a good dime to have that work done.

ATCO is VERY far from me. So I doubt I will get out there more than a handful of times. And I probably would do a blower with a moderate amount of boost and a safe tune. But not until I know that they've got it dialed in properly. I would probably go with Whipple!!
