F-22 Raptor: Are GM buyers smarter than Ford buyers?
So, I saw this story about the one-off Ford Raptor F22 that sold for $300K, and I'm reading and I get to the part where it's a V6, and I'm like ...WTF, who'd pay $300K for a huge boat with a V6 in it? I mean, don't get me wrong, a standard F150 with the ecoboost V6 is a fine truck, but really...$300K for this special edition Truck with a V6...wow, yeah ummm....NO THANKS! Now, a whipple induced V8 with 800HP...OK...I GET IT!!!
Then I got to thinking about all the ridiculous dealer ADM's on the GT350, GT350R and even the Focus RS (or whatever).... and i'm thinking...are Ford customers just that freakin stupid? ok, it's a bit tongue in cheek, but seriously that is just stupid - sorry to whoever has paid the $300K or the ADM for the GT350...no offense intended.

To be fair, people spend the same kind of cash at auctions to get VIN 0001 of whatever car GM feels like sending to Barrett Jackson that year. Someone paid $200k for the first Cadillac CT6.
Granted when that happens the money goes to charity.

It was auctioned off for charity. Lot of one off cars of all makes when they get auctioned off go for stupid money.
