Are you sure? Talking sticker prices only, aren't those all more expensive than the $80K MSRP on the GT500KR?

I've never seen a new Ferrari or Lambo for that cheap.

 

Ford of clermont has a silver one. msrp is 82k, they are asking 105k and the sales man told me they turned down a cash offer of 93k the week before.

 

If you wipe your a** with $20's, then you can afford one of these.

 

Orion, yes the cars I listed are more than 80K. However, as many here have posted, dealers are asking over 100K for the KR and that is where my comparison lies. So my point is this, if I were going to spend that kind of money for a car it wouldn't be a Mustang. Heck, you could even have a Ford GT for the kind of money some of these dealers are asking for the KR. In May of this year, I was going to buy a Ferrari or Lambo. Eventually, I chose the Z06. I just kept coming back to the Z for it's value. In fact, here's the exact car I almost bought just before I pulled the trigger on my Z06. It's 110K. Scroll down to the 2001 360 Modena in Titanium gray with 12,670 miles. Enjoy: http://www.naplesmotorsports.com/inventory.htm

 

Meh...a handful of mods in addition to the intake...but not much else

Just like its namesake, the 2008 ‘King of the Road’ packs a walloping dose of Ford performance power under its massive composite hood scoops. The Ford SVT-engineered 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 is treated to a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack that boosts horsepower to an estimated 540 and torque to 510 ft.-lbs., thanks to revised ignition and throttle calibration and a cold air intake system that replaces the stock unit.

Calibration modifications include advancing the ignition timing as well as re-mapping of the electronic throttle settings to provide quicker throttle response for better off-line and mid-range acceleration. Increased throttle response will be met with a sharper roar from the Ford Racing-inspired exhaust system.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission and 3.73:1 rear axle ratio, upgraded from the standard GT500’s 3.31:1. Gear selection is courtesy of an all-new Ford Racing short-throw shifter making its debut on the KR. Topped with a white ball, the new shifter is 25 percent shorter than the unit on the GT500 providing for crisper, sharper shifts.

Ford SVT, Ford Racing and Team Shelby worked together to develop the KR’s suspension tuning. Based on initial work by Ford Racing and the team at Shelby, often at Shelby’s own facility on the grounds of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Ford SVT chassis engineers will apply fine tuning techniques to prepare it for the streets.

“The production Shelby GT500 was maximized to deliver the perfect balance between ride and handling,” said Jamal Hameedi, chief nameplate engineer, Ford SVT. “In that same ride versus handling continuum, the KR will lean heavier towards all-out handling while still making it drivable on the street.”

Chassis engineers worked closely with the engine department in a holistic approach to the development of the KR, tuning the suspension to best optimize the engine enhancements.

“We aren’t fixing our attention on one or two attributes, but working on the vehicle as a whole,” stated Gary Patterson, vice president of operations for Shelby Automobiles. “The throttle response, power delivery, exhaust note, and handling should all gel together to deliver a total driving experience.”

The GT500KR will feature unique spring rates, dampers, stabilizer bars, and strut tower brace, all designed specifically for the KR, to deliver the precision handling package.

$50K more is a lot to spend for a production number.

 

Why not get the "2005 A Aircraft Division Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy" on the bottom of that page? It's only 31.3 mil. Oh and it has a 5-speed manual! LOL!

That thing would own the KR.
