95CobraR

Someone is going to have to pay for the out-of-control spending. I just hope that I am not one of them.

I like it.

I think the changes from the 2011 were needed.

Only 5,500 units is not limiting.

What was the 2005 production numbers (total and percentage of V-8s)?

It doesn't seem to be. This place is dead. I wonder how they screwed it up so bad?

Yea, my old (sold) S/C Cobra was faster than my Z06 in a straight line. The Z06 smokes it on a road course. The Z06 was never engineered for drag racing.

I like it. I wonder if this is true?

The 1965: The 1995: The 1994:

How can a car be gay? Why are you surfing on the gay websites? :huh:

That works perfectly for me although I am not interested in the diesel. You can just put another V-10 in my '08 SD. Thanks for the updates. I'll be watching for more of your posts.

Centerpunch, Why haven't you been updating your website????

Hmmm.... C$61,500 times .8585 (exchange rate; Wall St. Journal) = $52,798 (US). You paid $52.8 (US) for a '05 truck during the employee pricing program? It listed for $C61K? I've got some Pacific coast line property for sale in Georgia. Interested? C$40,900 X .8585 = $35,113 (US) That sounds about right for a trade in value in Georgia on a used fully loaded diesel dually 2005 SD. If it were mine, I'd sell it for more in less than a week to construction people. There is a huge demand for that type of truck in the south. Contractors need them badly with all the construction going on (esp. east of me in Mississippi and the New Orleans area). Now I know what all those owners of Canadian tagged vehicles do for a living that I see headed through GA to Florida for the winter. They are car/truck dealers! How much are new Mustangs? $50K?

I agree, and I know at least one other potential buyer that agrees. Since the car was first introduced, the new C6 Z06 is out for half the money. Yes, I know the GT is the better car, but is it twice as good? It's not that the GT wasn't a superior car. My problem was with the dealers. They insisted that the car was worth "$250K; take it or leave it". Well excuse me Mr. Dealer, but some people were not just born yesterday. I've been a loyal customer for many years, and you insist now that you have some special club status that is not available to loyal customers? OK, I can also buy a Z06 or a 911S. You did a great job pointing out the possible market implications of paying wildly over sticker. I pointed out what happened to the Cobra R's (the 93R, 95R, and the 00R). In the meantime, the market survival of GM (and hence Ford) has become a question mark. Ford is no doubt the stronger company. Never the less, if GM goes into bankruptcy court, Ford must follow just to be able to compete with GM. It's a fact of the financial numbers. If GM voids their UAW contracts in Court; Ford will have no choice but to follow. Alert, Alert; Mr. Ford dealer: You can bank a small $25,000 profit or hold out and make zilch. A Viper, Porsche 997, Ferrari, or a low mile 2000R will satisfy my "need for speed". I can, of course, just wait it out until the downside market momentum allows me to buy one for under $100K. I'm no fool; and me and my money can play hardball with you. Anybody know anything about Dodge trucks?

I remember that post. Your prediction was off by a day or two :D . What do you think will happen in the next year? As a stock trader that sometimes sees this type of momentum on the downside, I always suspect that it will continue (and may pick up more momentum). Will Ford survive another year without going through bankruptcy court?
