Ok i have looked into getting a mustang GT500 but because of limited production i think people will be into making money on them
so what do u guys think a GT500 will cost in 2 years?
O and i know this is a mustang forum and all but i was think about the new camaro what is the estimated cost for one of those? if anybody knows, but because of a better suspension and more horsepower than the Regular GT Mustang i was thinking of waiting. what are your guy's opionin on this?

RE: Should i WAIT
For a list of approx 45K. I would buy one. I could overlook the 4000lbs, the questionable front end looks IMO, the de-styled 28K dollar car interior, etc etc.
45K is about as much as I would pay for a mustang and not feel robbed. My thoughts would be that it is cool, collectable, and with a little work will be faster than a C6 and possibly on par with a ZO6.
But if I am paying 65K for the GT500. I would pass every time. I would rather have a ZO6 or a porsche cayman (yes different cars but very nice ones), or my 06 GT with 8-10K in mods. It would be equal to a gt500 or better and weight a 3-400 hundred pounds less in the nose.
OK, so if you wait a year or two and now can buy one for MSRP. Ford will already be planning the newer better stang. And unless it is ugly (which is a strong possiblity) people will be lining up to pay 65K for that one, and you will now be paying 45K for a car that is already old hat.

I wouldn't wait for a Camaro! All they have right now is a prototype and a whole lot of blueprints they can't manage to manufactor and make $ on. Yes I know it already won Best New Car You Can't Afford award from C&D 2009. The 500 is a real car, just keep your eyes open, and strike when the deal seems right to you.
