I don't know - he's pretty car behind. He is getting a good look at the back side though

Even if it does come out at 60k, for every guy that could barely afford this gt500 and won't be able to afford the next one, there is one that didn't get the car because it wasn't nice enough, didn't perform well enough, or whatever. IF the product is better, people will be willing to pay a higher price for it. It's just a question of if the car will be worth it and I think Ford has proven with the Boss and the new 5.0 GT that they are very aware of what a fair price per performance is.
Who thought Ford would be able to sell a $150,000 super car?

I completely agree with this. But - going by your numbers, if $60K is the base, you'd be talking about nearly $70K for this car, similarly equipped.
My whole point is, is it worth it? Is the value there? I truly believe the value is there for the Boss and GT, and the 500. But what if the performance isn't? Are you die hard enough to look past that? Okay - so you have more power; what if there's no appreciable increase in handling performance?
$150K for the GT was a GREAT value compared to what was out there. I think Z06 was a better value, considering it's performance, however, I don't consider it a supercar, like I do the GT. Regardless - I believe the money for the GT was completely justified by it's performance.
