Today I stopped in at Metro Ford and low and behold they had a new 11 GT500 (all black no stripes=hot) for a low low price of 64,500.00 plus the 3000.00 in taxes for a total of 67,500.00. That my friends is 18-19,000.00 more than I paid for a new 09 GT500 1 1/2 years ago. I will say the car does have 50 hp more and handles better but 18-19,000.00 worth, I am not sure the difference in money is worth it.
Man's got good taste in cars....gotta love that all black, no stripes combo.
Crazy pricing fo sho, reminds me of the same situation when the GT500's came out and the inflated prices. Smart bet is to wait - patience pays off.
SNAKEBITE - you should be in jail dude, because for the price you paid for your GT500, you STOLE it !!!

Nice to have someone agree with me most of the time...Not use to that! 
That is the only thing i hate about dealers,they take advantage of all the "new" products,especially when it comes to the mustang.
They know people want the new 5.0L cause they just got to have it,which feeds into this whole b.s for the dealers.
Man that is a crazy hike in price.

I don't get it. At the ford.ca site I can do "Build and price" with the following;
Base GT Coup - $39,949
GT Brake Pkg - $1,700
Security Pkg - $350
Interrior Trim Pkg - $500
Heated Leather seats (incl with Interrior Trim Pkg)
Next gen nav system - $2,300
Total MSRP= $44,749
Which has some very nice options! I'd skip the nav system myself but threw it in because maybe the dealer's had it in it.
It looks like the dealer's out there are making some serious markups! I haven't priced one out here yet but it looks like they are trying to cash in big time with the new arrivals.

Does this include the 6000.00 in sales taxes added in?
If not you are at 50,000.00

The more I read threads like this the happier I am with my purchase, and not waiting for the 5.0. Although another 100hp would be nice!
But give it a year or two and they will come down/ offer better prices, the 05's were marked up for a while when they first came out.

see that's why i'm waiting till i can trade off the Si on a newer GT or a new edge cobra, everything right now seems to be hiked up wwaaaaay too much.. 
but with the 2011's at that price, the 2010's will come down a fair bit (maybe enough for me to grab one? ) time will tell

If the prices stay up there, they are going to kill the mustang. At that price you are getting into the more high end cars which the stang doesn't campare to. The stang was supposed to be for the average joe and have the best bang for the buck, and in my opinion ford is lossing that.
