300k is code for 500K
Itās a new paradigm.
and Iāll gladly bet the S650 GT500 will be 150K minimum for a base and everyone will be paying 200 plus like the Z06.
Just to be clear, the major reason for price hikes over the last several years is because of the tariffs on imported materials.
if we could rollback tariffs for good and go back to free trade we would see significant deflation in car prices.
Itās not gonna spin a rod bearing instantly.
Itās cumulative over mileage and rpm
talk to me when the 87 octane car has a rod knock at 130k miles and Iām going 200k plus.
People donāt understand pre ignition and hammering their bearings.
If they did theyād be scrambling to get it on 93 or even better E85
it is a 12:1 engine, on 87 octane itās basically eating itself and sensors are retarding everything from spark to cam timing to try and keep it alive.
It will...
Iām at the ranger plant, we havenāt barely began.
We are building 10-15 daily and rumor is production ramp up is pushed back to October.
Itās gonna be awhile for sure.
I donāt understand this power grid argument at all.
We all have stoves, and dryers.
Itās not going to be anymore of a problem than the current system.
itās just like using my oven for an hour or doing laundry.
I was with my friend to pick up his new gt500, same thing, no test drive or nothing. And he spent over 100k.
I think they just expect someone buying a new car would think it drives like any other new car.
Interested for other opinions though.
