The profit margin for Ford isn’t even 10K friend…
they are not building these to lose money (like EVs lol)
yes, you’re gonna eat 10K depreciation the second you sign the papers, but that’s the cost to buy a new car.
I personally have friends over at FRAP…
Nothing has rolled down the line to get paint.
so, even if it’s coming there hasn’t even been a trial unit…. So I wouldn’t count on 2026 even, perhaps 27 or 28
which would make sense, I could see 2028, alongside the S650 refresh.
I just did a quick KBB and my 300a base 10spd GT (that was 43K) comes back at 36.5-38k
Maybe 5-6K loss after a year and a half and 5,000 miles…
maybe I pull the whipple and dump it… jkjk..
Who is running this company?
we live in a world of overnight prototypes and 3D printing
total failure of execution on a corporate timeline, it’s been 18 months…
Too little too late…
Same for procharger
I don’t think the ZR1 will be able to make a complete lap all out.
my money is on it goes into limp mode after 4-5 minutes on track.
I don’t trust a brand new 1K hp Chevy FPC Ferrari copy paste engine.
won’t be surprised if we never see a ring time for the ZR1.
@MAT1955 i can recall dozens of coyotes that cracked a piston, broke a ringland etc…
I can barely remember 1 that a rod gave up and windowed the block, unless it was in conjunction with losing a piston.
that was my only point, pistons and ring gaps are the weak point here… not rods..
And the...

I am not talking “inflation calculator”
you have to use the market to place a true value on not just inflation, but the time difference… like the Big Mac index.
re do your Calc with the S&P 500, or SPX
12,999 in 1988 … IS 290K in today’s “market adjusted” dollars…
and it’s far...
That $12,999 base coupe market adjust to….
TWO HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS in 2024…
yep… 290K…
By all comparisons a fully loaded Dark horse would cost HALF of the LX, and is superior in every way.
Options don’t add a ton to value after the initial buy, also convertibles in general are always hit the hardest…
my 24GT was 43k… so different options packages but it’s the same car.
also by trying to sell within the 1st few years, you are eating maximum depreciation.
