Anyone adding a GT500 to the stable?
If I could afford it, I would buy one and add it to my stable (which includes my GT3 and Subaru WRX). Anyone planning on adding the new GT500 to their stable?

Not a fan of superchargers and automatic gearboxes, but otherwise will be big bang for buck!

Yeah, if I'm being honest, I'm a much bigger fan of the GT350, but I LOVE the look of the new GT500. If I could get the engine + transmission of the GT350 with the looks of the GT500, I'd do my best to try and get one. However, I'll NEVER EVER EVER get rid of my GT3; it has my heart and soul.

Plus IMO the GT350 design/style is cleaner and more timeless... less clutter, less tacky as well.
And it's been noted by a Ford Exec already that the GT500 will tip the scales at over 3,800 lbs... we'll find out the official numbers soon I guess.
Oh.... its DCT's rotary shifter from the parts bin is a fail IMO.

Bingo. Can't rule it out just yet.... who knows, maybe a GT500-KR edition with a manual?

Actually I'm pretty sure I read 4,200 lbs somewhere, which does seem like a lot, hard to understand where so much weight is added, but that's the number that was going around recently.

Not a fan to be honest. No flat plane crank. No manual. No updated interior. Supercharger. Heavy. I do think it looks better, but otherwise it does not check many boxes for me. Not to mention ADM will probably push the car north of $100k.
