The horsepower race has gone nuclear: 2013 GT500

Honestly, I doubt you'll find one under 60K. Even at 60K the car is a bargain. The MSRP on my 2010 was 61K (mine has every single option you can get) so 60K for a 2013 should not really be a surprise.

Also, since the 2013's are hard to get, dealers are adding premiums and people are paying the premium which I disagree with. Once the comparisons start coming out and the car shows improved performance over the 2010-12's it will draw an even higher demand. I will say, don't be fooled by the crappy times you see for the 10's - 12's the tires SUCK! 0-60 in 4.3 is with the car spinning 1st through 3rd gear so, trust me when the tires hook, the car is stupid fast.

I considered a GT-R but honestly, the maintenance cost is just too high for me. I personally admire a nice car, I'm not a brand fan boy. Personally, whether it is an import or domestic if it's fast and is done right I have no problems giving someone the thumbs up. That and let's face it...there is always something faster out there.

I would say that even at 55k, the car is a "performance bargain". It's unbelievable performance for the dollar, realizing that most people aren't car enthusiasts and would consider 55k for a hopped up anything a ripoff.

Even at 67k with full options, you are still getting a car that will go 200mph for half the cost of a ZR-1, and well less than R8's, Ferraris, etc. It's 35k less than a GTR.

I was simply hoping that Fiord would release a knockout blow at 55k.

Also, dealer markup is ridiculous, but I understand why they do it. They're in business to make money. If you can sucker people out of 15k just because they "gotta have it now before the Joneses", then go for it. The smart buyer isn't paying that ridiculous cost.
