Because it needs a blower to make the power due to its lower compression. Plus, the parts used in that motor is complete overkill for a garden variety Mustang GT that will stay mostly stock. The price increase isn't worth it, IMO. It would be nice if they would make the rods, crank and forged pistons in it an engine upgrade option for those that know a blower is in their future. Just call it a blower friendly bottom end upgrade. |

Here's an idea: Dump the "specialty" cars like the GT500 and simply offer the goodies that made that car a GT500 as options for the Mustang GT. That's not far from what they did in the late 60s and early 70s, so why not now? Seems to be a win-win deal to me... |

IMO, because Ford couldn't charge the outrageous prices for an option package like they can for cars like the GT500. They are making insane profits on the GT500 and will on he new Boss etc. Making these car's components just option choices kills their exclusivity and therefore profits. |

They make cars few people could afford and keep the price high while the company is going down the tubes. Why not SELL the cars? Selling cars is what they are supposed to do. Now they are going to quit selling Crown Vic's except to fleets. Sell the people what they want. What genius decided to re-badge the 500 and call it a Taurus? That should really help. Al |

With so many people screaming about how they can't get a GT500 without having to take on a second mortgage, I think Ford could make even more money by simply offering all their goodies as options. I guess it comes down to this: Which is better, selling a limited production car with absurd pricing, or selling as many option packages as possible? I vote for the latter. :) |

I vote for the latter. :) Would I order a $25,000 2008 Ford Mustang GT with the factory option $6,000 500 horsepower supercharged 5.4L V-8 and a $1,200 6 speed transmission??? In a New York Second!!! I think many more people would too, how would this effect Fords adherence to their CAFE standards? :-) Ford really needs to pull their head out of their asses |
