Ford does not sell the GT500 for the profit. The sell it to keep enthusiasts happy. As stated earlier, the regular GT and V-6 models generate much more revenue and profit and are affordable to the masses.

I went to a car show yesterday and the old classic 67-68, 69, etc. Shelby Gt 500s reminded me of the true Shelby days. There is nothing "custom" about the current offering, except the name badge and the fact that it has a bunch of performance goodies bolted on at the factory.

I would welcome Chevy coming out with a Z-28 in with the CTS-V engine for around $45-50. Maybe that would get Ford to offer something different, like a 500hp normally aspirated Mustang.

And why can't the Corvette and GT500 be compared to each other? They are both marketed to similar audiences, regardless of what people say. And, who really buys a Mustang, GT500 or not, for the back seat?
