My new GT500 smells like new car.
Steve's used GTR smells like someone else's farts.

You're right Steve... I totally forgot about that. The markup, esp initially. That is insane.

I did talk to my dealer though, and he'd get one for me at MSRP no problem. (note, not invoice). Now if only I could scrounge up 65k plus tax..... hmmmm

on a Ford related note: I test drove a Focus last weekend, as a possible replacement for my aging Civic with 100k miles. That focus was such a delight to drive. No wonder it was one of 10 best c and d. Steering and chassis coupled with peppy engine. Yummy. No ST for me though, must be automatic for wife to be able to drive it... shucks.

The Focus is nice.

I'm buying an S2000 very soon so I'll be set car wise. 2011 Mustang GT, 2003 Mercedes CLK500, and 2005 Honda S2000.

Yup. The CLK is my girl's car. We're going 50/50 on the S2K which is nice. Parts are generally cheap for that car, and they're even cheaper when you split it 50/50.
