The idea is to replicate the original Boss Mustang's race-special feel. Only 1000 cars will be built.

That's
EXACTLY what I'm talking about! Only 1000 will be built??? All the Ford fans are pissed right now because everyone wants a GT500, but no one will give one up for less than 20K over sticker price. Now,
here we go again. I just said it a couple days ago....Ford's gonna build these two cars and not make enough. This is gonna hike up the price and piss off the potential buyers..........
AGAIN. I don't see many of the mid level income families being able to afford this one anytime soon. What'cha think? Another $50K car? Uh..yeah...on the window...............
PLUS another 20K due to
"current markup value".
Ok. I know there's a lot of you out there who are saying, "that's the way it goes, there Tag." Yeah, I know. But, what do you think would happen if Ford managed to squeeze a few more than 1000 out of their doors. So it won't be a limited production. It won't be valued as much. A bunch of people will have them. Who cares? What I'm trying to say is this... Build enough so your average mid level income family guy can get one. Everyone in town is going to want one. Sure, with only 1000 made, it'll jack up the price...unless you put out a few more. Granted that'll cost more from Ford. But that'll come back to Ford in sales. And... in return, what do you get?
If you can keep someone from going to another manufacturer (ie: GM, Dodge, DCX), then you just stole their business and most likely made a future customer. That is golden.
My thought process might be completely off the sensible path, here. But, this is the way I see it. GM built enough SS's in 02 where if you wanted one, you could get one...and not have to hand over your son/daughters college tuition on top of MSRP! Here's to you Ford.........
