For that price tag I'd assume they'd do something with the interior to make it pop a little more. The doors are still covered in the bland/cheap plastic as the other mustangs, big let down for the price tag, IMO.

Maybe a dumb question, but are all KR's coupes?

starting bid was $75,000 with a "buy it now" price of $78,500 and it still didn't sell??

I had a look at a Black on black KR at the dealership where I bought my Mustang. That had to be the meanest looking car i've ever seen. After seeing that, it's the only color i'd want that car in.

Was just in Thorton Colo. and a dealer there had three KR's and asking a extra 32,000. This dealer must of had 30 to 40 different mustangs in yard.

Not to sound like a douche, but have any of you guys that bash the KR because of it's price tag ever driven one before?

no offense taken....and you dont sound like a massengil....to answer your question....yes I have....drove awesome....worth the investment?? not for me...then again...plenty have said the same about stepping up from a GT to a gt500.....I just cant justify the money for its performance and look enhancements alone...that is all...will it outhandle my gt500....absolutely...is the look nicer....not nicer IMO ...equivalent and different...love the hood....the price hike is more for its rareness as opposed to its performance and look enhancements by far...and FOR ME...the rareness is not rare enough to justify the price tag as I am not a car in a bubble guy...I am a guy who buys it to drive it...not store it....but thats just me...

Hmm, let's see, where else can I buy a 500 horse car that doesn't cost $1000 to change the oil, can be serviced at any village or town of any size, can be driven day in and day out, is instantly recognizable and at any given intersection--the other 3 cars would have to be on fire to attract more attention? Nope, can't think of any...... Sure, I like a little more for my $$ like the automatic headlights and door locks my F-150 has, but I didn't buy it for the dor panels, stereo or fog lights. I bought it because it HAS 500 FRIGGING HORSES! If you want nice door panels....go buy a Lexus, BMW or Mercedes, but to get the performance level of our cars, be ready to shell out some major $$$ over and over and over again.

Anybody got a performance per $ calculator?
