The folks at Ford should be embarrassed they have one of the hottest cars on the planet even though it's clearly just a Mustang with a big engine? That lapped this track as fast as a $125k 997 TT and commands a premium while Chevy gives Corvettes away?

Don't get me wrong, it's "expensive", heavy, and slow, but I don't think anyone buying them is under the illusion it's a sports car...

Why should Ford be embarassed? It's the jack-hole dealers putting the premiums on them, not Ford.

Ford set the MSRP in the $40k range. Thank the stealerships for the markup. Actually, thank the morons willing to pay $20K+ over sticker for that. As long as someone is stupid enough to pay it, why not take a fool's money?
