Apparently Ford used softer springs on it so it rides well but can be firmed up with the shocks. Everyone seems to like these. I really cant wait to hear one on the road and hear that side exhaust.

I agree they say MSRP will be 40k but my a$$ Dealers will charge way more which is disappointing. Otherwise i would lobby steve to buy one so i can buy it from him in about 18-24 months. Steve please dont buy one with scaffolding in the back

personally i do prefer offerings from Europe or Japan rather than the US( i know im a traitor) but the US companies are coming back save for Chrysler

It seems like a (and dont take this the wrong way) poor mans M3. But it seems to do just about everything a M3 can do but it does give up some creature comforts the M3 keeps. But who wants all creature comforts with their sports car. It will be interesting to see what GMs answer to this is going to be.
The regular GT is in a dead tie with the M3 already. The Boss will destroy the M3 on a track. As far as up-pricing, remember that the GT500 is in the $49,000 range so I wouldn't expect the Boss to approch that. As mentioned earlier, many people are already picking them up at MSRP w/o any dealer mark-up.
