Sure they will. Guy across the street bought a 2012 for 3k below sticker, and that was before they annonced the huge jump in HP for the 2013's

 

Gotta somewhat agree with this. I dont see a '13 available at invoice any time soon, but since there are dealers still stuck with '11s and '12s, look for the deal on those.

I will be in Columbus at the end of may. Have one of these in stock and ready to sell me at invoice minus rebates. See you then ;)

 

:gabe: I'll hook ya up!

 

Guess I'm in the 5%

Yeh, I know some guys actually track them but you know what I meant.

 

 

 

2013 and 2012 are two different worlds.

 

I sold our last 2012 (brand new) that had a $57,000 MSRP for $48,900

The bigger news is that it will be able to hit 200mph out of the box. It's probably the cheapest price point, in relatively dollars and maybe even real dollars, that's every happened. To give everyone a comparision the first production car to do that was the Ferarri F40. "The car debuted with a factory suggested retail price of approximately US$400,000, although some buyers were reported to have paid as much as US$1.6 million." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_F40 $400k in 1987 money is something like $700k in todays money. That's 13 times as much as this car.

 

Maybe even the cheapest 200mph car ever, including into the future?

Not true, only the Performance Package version with 3:31 gears will go 200mph, the base model will not...

Is the new chassis pretty stable at high speeds? That's alot of power, even for a decent chassis.

The GT500 is the most stable car I've ever driven at high speeds. Bet it feels fine at 200.

Hopefully this means we will soon have a 'ring time for the GT500.

Frankly, I'm looking forward more to the VIR times ('lightning lap') and the magazine 1/4 mile tests of both it and the ZR1. Hopefully some 'side-by-sides' :fuckyeah:
