A car that no one asked for but, is arguably very cool looking and will probably lay down great results with the right driver behind the wheel. However it is not delivering the value for the track rat it is targeting, and the rich person that buys it for their local car shows will never use it because it won't have the best road manners. The price point and the drivability of the car are really going to create a sales challenge for Ford. Would you spend $300,000 on a modified mustang?

Today, Mr. Spaghetti says Ford’s fancy dish is an expensive way to move crowds.
😂
Wanted to like but didn't want to be the 70th.
Dude has been salty with Ford ever since they rejected his GT application lol. Poor guy
The GTD will be a masterpiece. It will be looked at as the shift for Ford going more special. The 50/50 weight with the transaxle will make it have a unique character. It's just the mustang name that is making people think cheap. This one is a keeper trust me.
This guy is telling us how the car feels a year into the future. Amazing!
Somehow the Ford GT being so expensive felt OK but a $300,000 mustang seems like a vanity project for the ultra rich. Can't they come up with a Corvette competitor instead? This thing isn't aspirational, it's designed to be someone's 15th car. It doesn't feel very Ford, and certainly doesn't feel very Mustang.
Isn't the GT500 basically a Corvette competitor?
I mean, this is right on par with the gay raptor
The Corvette and the Mustang aren't nor have they ever been competitors.
They appeal to different buyers and those buyers don't cross shop.
I think you hit the nail in the head. When this car comes out what people will be talking about is the ridiculous prices that people are paying for them. We will never see one on the road, maybe at some car shows.
Ford is not built the same like 30 years ago
Idk why people think this is just a new GT500 or something... it's small production, with the performance to meet or exceed the likes of GT3RS etc, makes total sense to me.
They can not get past the Mustang badge.
I'll tell you exactly why the think it's just another GT500 or whatever. It's because they don't have the intelligence to READ about this fantastic, hand built machine. They look at a picture or two of it and think they are experts on it! It's really sad and scary that much of the young generation seem to have given up on reading to learn about something! They act like 4 year olds and just look at pictures and think that's all they need to do to be an expert on something.
I can definitely tell you why they think it's just a new GT500 or something. They haven't got the brains or even the common sense to READ about this very cool Mustang creation. All they do is look at pictures of it and share misinformation about it with their friends.
I don't mind how it looks, it's quite aggressive. It doesn't really matter how much it costs with small production numbers, it will sell out.
You say the 3rd gen. GT didn't get the engine it deserved. It got the engine that made it quite successful on the race track which was its primary venue, then as a street machine. All the whiners I heard and read of didn't have a clue as to why Ford chose the TTV6 because they never read the story of it's purpose, it's design requirements and they just couldn't imagine a V6 that was more than capable as any V8 they might have put in it. I watched the 2 TTV6 GTs almost effortlessly stomp the 2 factory C7R Corvettes over and over as well as the BMW M8. It didn't need a V8, it didn't get a V8, and it was very successful with a 647 HP TTV6!, including winning Le Mans exactly 50 years after the first GT40s! The GTLM class it ran in had power limitations to further make all the cars more competitive, so the winning Ford GT was 500hp instead of 647 and it was still victorious.
i think because its basically a road legal GT3 race car with low production numbers it kinda makes sense...
the people that can afford it will never use it for its purpose though.. its gonna be a flipper car at best
@@rogerwilco1777 yeah I agree.
What people aren't taking into account this is a racecar reverse engineered for the street.
Do I agree with the $300k price tag? Not quite, but I could agree on maybe $250k for many reasons. They basically built this car from the ground up and used a whole array of new unique technology like the carbon fiber body that they haven’t done yet recently, the new dry sump engine, the inboard suspension, the designing it had to take to actually achieve the 50/50 weight distribution, and even the magnesium wheels. To price it under $250k would basically be spitting in the project teams face.
I agree. I don't think people understand the technology behind this car. dry sump oil tank and a transaxle make a huge difference. Not just adding horsepower.
You guys dont understand th4 suspension on thr car. Its a cabon bodied 800h0 gt3rs with pushrod suspension... For same or less money than a gt3rs. Also lower production numbers. It isnt too much.
No most folks appearantly do not understand what Ford has revealed here in the GTD. They can't get past the Mustang badge and base their comments on the badging and price alone.
@@richardmodglin3900 - I think you are right, along with the fact that fewer young people even bother reading today.
I spent more than 100k on a new truck 300k doesn’t sound as crazy as u think and I’m just working class garbage. This is fords way to make the collectors pay for r&ding their next list of goodies before they figure out how to make this for around 100k it’s smart and on the way we get some cool low number cars
Lol that ford GT superspeeders video is what brought me here
When the GTD debuted I was in the “it’s too much for a mustang” crowd, 300k is well into the big boys club where you get into the ultra-exclusive cars. Then I started to really think about the overall picture. People pay over 300k for a GT2RS or GT3RS and no one says, “you played 300k for a 911 Carrera?!” what is an RS level 911, it is a heavily modified base 911 with very high-performance racing parts, a ton of R&D, and very low production numbers, this is the same receipt. While Porsche has a very impressive and lengthy racing pedigree, Ford has repeatedly shown us when they are willing to cut a blank check and burn a river of midnight oil, there isn’t really much they can’t do. If I remember correctly an Italian racing company laughed in their face years ago and got the surprise of their lives. Is this car going to be too much race car for the road, that remains to be seen as there is still a lot to learn since Ford has released very few details. Heck, we don’t even know what the inside looks like yet. I am hoping that this street legal race car has the amenities you would expect in a road car, yes, I hope they study the best ultra track focused road cars and soften the edge just enough to make the car enjoyable on the street. As far as the price is concerned, even though it isn’t finalized yet, it is about 25% more than a GT3RS. I hope that they can either bring it closer to 250K or make some of the supposed options, titanium exhaust, active aero, magnesium wheels, as standard equipment. No doubt that part of the price is exclusivity as this will not only be a very limited run given to a chosen few, but this may very well be the highest performance road legal ICE “Mustang” ever. I’m sure other brand loyalists will always dismiss this car as a “mustang” no matter how many records it beats or how capable it is but in reality, the GTD shares almost nothing with the mustang you buy from your local Ford dealer other than the name. I just hope Ford puts it in the hands of the right people.
Everything he stated is why people will buy it, its a collectors item
I love it, it looks wild, they will sell no problem. I was at the Woodward Dream Cruise today and you really need something to stand out there. I saw eleventy billion C8s there, swear to god at least 300 C8s today. The new and the old Ford GTs were amazing, had a sweet burgundy one behind me and then there was a Heritage one there too and then the king rolled up next to me, a Ferrari Monza SP2, gottdamn. Before seeing one in person I was like $2 million for one of those is crazy, then actually seeing one and people breaking their necks to see it I was like yeah, it's worth it.
It better run on dark matter for that price
I can tell you who won't pay 300k for a Mustang; me! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Says the guy with $1500 in his bank account😂
😏 You missed one or two zeros
@@CanadiansInCarsGettingCocky oh silly me $1500.00 there😆
That is on you.... not me.
I think what will hurt is most is that at the end of the day, it's still a mustang. People see mustangs every day and probably wouldn't think much of this car if they saw one unless they're a car person and know what it is. But I think the average person is just going to see another mustang. When people see a ferrari or a porsche or a ford gt or some other high class car, they understand the status it represents. I don't know if this car will do that.
Bro what? 💀💀 Ain't no way anyone is gonna see that and think it's a regular Mustang. Even a GT350 breaks necks and gets looks and this is 2 feet wider lol. Thing looks like it's from 2077. If anything, car guys are the one that's gonna dislike it because they'll think "it's just a Mustang" reguardless of how good it performs because of brand loyalty. I believe this will get tons of attention on the street and folks wondering what it is.
@@burgerbandit3646 Idk man, if my mom or friend saw this thing, they would think it's just a mustang. There is no way they'ed realize the status it represents. People will see this and just think its a modified mustang or something, they're not going to associate it with being a 300,000 dollar car.
@matthewstein9121 i highly doubt that. If Shelby Mustangs get lots of attention and are way closer in similarity, this will be a whole other thing. Reguardless, you're not paying for getting attention with the car, which I'm positive you'll get tons of. You're paying for its performance.
@matthewstein9121 - Just think of it as a 1953 Corvette 6 cylinder next to a C8 Z06. Would you think of that as just another Corvette? Guarantee you wouldn't!!
This Mustang isn't made for "the average person" so it really doesn't matter what they do or don't think about it! Those relatively few that will be able to buy one will know very well what this car is, and those that don't will find out pretty damned fast if they try and mess with it. They only plan to make 1-2,000 total at this time, and they will have no problem selling every one they make!
"Cobra with a V8 and Matt Farah in it" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It gives Ford a competition car for the track, but I think Rob is right, most will end up in upper class garages.
Obviously nobody can afford a $300,000 base price mustang, except the rich and collections we will never see on the road
It's $300,000, that's the only garages it will end up in. LOL
Nice tech, but I think the C8 Corvette is a little better value.
You cannot beat the C8 for value.....even the base version is the best bang for your buck on the market today. Here in Canada the base C8 starts at $78,000 CDN which is about $56K USD.
@@muskokamike127you can't even touch a used one for less than 100K in any decent spec in the states ... They are a hot commodity
@@freedomfox8183 The prices are coming down as the used car market cools. Yes for sure 1 1/2 yrs ago you could buy one off the lot for $55K and take it to a dealer auction and get $90 for it. Not so much now. Not to mention you can walk into a dealer and get one for MSRP.
Hoovie just sold his at Mecum I think and I don't think he got much over MSRP. I think his was a Z06 too.
Value? I don't think people buying a GTD are bargain hunting.
That would depend on just how you define "value." From a technical standpoint alone, this GTD is light years ahead of the Corvette!
Cbd is great but just go to the dispensary and get the good real stuff lol.
💯
*The biggest problem is that the front looks like a 20k honda civic* 😹
Really does 😅
@Slimothy - Good news for you lad, your eye doctor called and your new specs are ready! Honda Civic? Wow, and I thought I had an imagination.
Who in their right mind would take this over a Porsche GT3?
There sold out 😅 lmao also there not even made by Ford really
It's not even a mustang
You’d be surprised lol
Well it’s the same weight as a GT3 but 300 more HP and it’s more rare but personally I’d go GT4RS over both
@@BRAINFxck10Mustang gtd is the same weight as GT3 RS??? Where did you got this info?
Rob-What you think about the new merc gt?
It’s an Sl coupe
Only big thing like this GTD that would be very difficult in the aftermarket is to make it transaxle with inboard suspension.
The wing is fixed not trunk mounted. That's not aftermarket stuff.
@@richardmodglin3900 who said anything about the wing? We are talking about the transaxle and inboard suspension
@pali1H
Oh I agreed with you...I was just adding something else that would be problematic.
Carry on.
@@richardmodglin3900 oh haha gotcha. Sorry!
@pali1H - Uhh, it already has a transaxle and a very sophisticated rear suspension to go with it. You obviously haven't seen the many diagrams and photos of it have you? It even has a carbon fiber driveshaft for lightness and better rotating mass.
Waiting to see what insane resale numbers rocket to on b.a.t?
People buy this still wayyy smarter than those who willing to pay 750k $ for a 3.0 CSL.
You could buy 3 Shelby gt500 or have one built and the only thing a GTD can do that a GT500 isn’t built for is handle great on a track.
May I remind you that a GT500 matched a GT3RS on a hot lap and beat a Lamborghini Hurican Evo priced at $332,000 as tested on lightning lap at Virginia International Raceway.
Then the GTD is clearly not a car for you! Keep your excellent, but way overweight GT500 so others can buy the GTD of their choice.
@@Loulovesspeedgt500 still has similar times and same engine 💀 the weight barely changes anything when they both have different distributions. also remind me how wide is the gtd again?
@stevedean418 - "The only thing a GTD can do that a GT500 isn't built for is handle great on the track." Bingo mate! That is exactly what Ford built this car for - in GT3 form, and that is to race and win in FIA endurance racing and SCCA sports car racing. Don't mean to spoil the party for you but this GTD will also smoke the GT500 in acceleration because it has more power and will weigh a significant amount less than the GT500. As a bonus, it will increase in value due to it's limited availability and because it is a specialty vehcle, virtually hand made at Multimatic in Toronto, Canada. 🏆 🏁
Yes, I know it will be a Ford, except it will be the ultimate Mustang. No, they aren't going to cell many of them, which is because of how much time each of them will be required to build. I'll type this to you; yes, it will be the ultimate Mustang. What's the purpose of this car? To homologate the race cars.hkw many of them will there to to do that? You'll need to ask the racing sanctioning body for that answer. I don't know it. After it comes off the floor of the factory someplace in the States of Michigan, it will be coming up here to be fitted with carbon fiber body panels and an incredible rear spoiler that will have active aero. The transmission and differential will vexin the same case as each other. There'll be a carbon fiber drive shaft I it. They'll keep the aluminum door panels, though. Oh, there'll be an equal weight distribution for this car. As for buying performance components from the aftermarket, no, you'll not be able to do it for the price of that Mustang GTD. Try buying those carbon fiber body panels for a regular Mustang. The engine along is 5
it will be worth every cent and more! this is not a cobra r ? its next level.
biggest problem....well thats the $300k for a Mustang thats fully modified. If it can with a Ford technician for a couple years/ 12 track visits a year for 2-4 years, then maybe. And thats only because you are paying for his services during put stops on your track day. The other issue is you HAVE TO BE a millionaire to consider this car and be making over $500k/year to consider buying this thing. Only ford with 6 figures is the GT.
a mustang is still a mustang no matter how much glitter it has
How many states have the road quality to support ultra low ground effects? In CA those will be getting slammed.
@yogibearstie - Ride height is adjustable for the street or track.
There is a good article in todays WSJ that sums up the US car market
Rob if Ford picked you we all know you would pay $500k for GTD. Let's not pretend the application process isn't the reason why you won't be getting one.
I get the points being made on the GTD. But I'm withholding judgement until I hear reviews from the civilian public about how it handles and what the interior is like. It seems like Ford has done a nice job in recent years in producing high end performance vehicles that make the driver confident and enhances their driving ability.
I can't hear any audio Rob 🤷🏾♂️
* NVM, had to click on another's video, then back. Odd, even closing YT didn't work. All good 👌🏿
nobody is buying this to be a car show guy til they get to go with there ford collection. this is handmade by multimatic 50/50 weight distribution 800 hp.. much heavier gt500 was able to run within a second or faster than cars like Ferrari f8 tributo huracan evo and gt3rs. now you go mor power less weight better weight distribution. Not meant for Mustang owners not meant for gt500 owners. Being a multimatic race car its meant to be for Ford GT guys
Yep, got a neighbor who is investment banker and Ford is one of his clients. He has a real 427 Cobra, a new and an old Ford GT and guessing he will get one of these.
Same ppl who bought the 120m gt 40 in 2006
That 2006 you refer to is not a GT40, just a Ford GT and it retailed for $150,000.
Bring on the c8 zr1 track pack 😉
From what I’ve seen this car look like a LFA type thing in the making. With all those cutting edge tech build for the track this feels like a homologation special. 300k is only fair for this type of machinery, if you only care about brand you’re just not a real car enthusiast.
It's curious that some guys--usually with a huge following--say they love cars but are constantly wheeling and dealing their stable. Reminds me of a man who says he loves women but can't keep one for very long. He is never satisfied, which is why he really doesn't love cars.
@mchristr - Great analogy Sir! Spot on.
like the 😈 170, its mostly a track car and its only 116k
Whoa whoa, I just said something on dude in blu channel, the Ford people freaked out
Who does ford to expect to sell this new mustang to? Besides collectors & youtubers who buy for views I don’t see an actual market for them.
I think Ford would be better off selling a Ford GT with a 900HP Coyote V8, there would be hundreds of people willing to pay 800K - 1.2M for one from factory. (Remember the new Ford GT was originally 450K starting & about 600K fully loaded).
At 300K (before dealer markup) there are a lot of options.
The 2012-2014 Aventadors with around 6K miles are selling for anywhere between 250K-280K, which is not only under MSRP but an amazing value.
I think it’s cool they’re making a road legal mustang track car but it’s almost unreasonable at 300K, It would be great at 150K-170K but not at 300K.
@deepwebintel - Ford will only make between 1,000 and 2,000 - that's all, and they will sell every one just like they did with the 3rd gen Ford GT. There are very few options for this car, so that is not an issue. Don't have to worry about dealer markup as they aren't involved with the sales aspect of it, just like the Ford GT. 300K may be "almost unreasonable" to YOU, but to the ultimate buyers of this machine they won't even bat an eye!
Its called Ford performance for a reason guys LoL
He is the play to purchase one of these: 1) Ford starts production on these. They do not sell well. 2) 10 years from bow they are $120,000-$180,000k. 3) Buy at the sub $200,00 and wait another 10 years for gear heads ti reminence about how “great that car was.”
That’s not gonna work because the sale process is like the Ford GT, low allocation numbers will keep the prices up, the only way to get it sub $200k is with a salvage title but then it’ll cost a lot to get new parts for this thing
@@BRAINFxck10 It is a shot in the dark, yes, but this happened with the LFA.
Today mr Spaghetti reminds us oregano makes you sleepy.
I would
If I win the lottery sure why not
Its not a street car, it's just street legal. The gt350 non r is probably the best street mustang, it's not too uncomfortable for long drives and very fun to drive.
Between the Recaro seats and adjustable suspension this GTD should be fine.
I’m applying but most likely won’t get approved
No A/C??? That's a deal-breaker for me. A "look at me!!!" car at that price point should at least coddle the driver a bit. As Rob said, where's the fun in THAT??? Not denying it's a very cool looking car. But $300 large for a Mustang? Seriously?? Big no from me.
You want to get coddled? Buy a Rolls Royce.
Oh I think the top of the line Recaros would coddle you just fine!
We’ll see these on BaT with fewer than a hundred miles for about $2 million in a few years
They will sell every single one of these and then some
It's probably going to be sold out initially by the flippers, but I feel like the actual demand for these won't be that high. Plus the ZR1 C8 is around the corner and the Zora is a 2025 model as well, and I'm willing to bet that those max out at 250k so that's going to be a tough sell imo. But then again some people are weird so who knows
Ford will probably prohibit resale for 2 years like they did with the new GT.
@ImARealHumanPerson hopefully so these flippers can lose their ass on this car lol just imagine the fact that someone is going to buy a Mustang for half a million dollars lol
@@WoolfJ35 Flippers didn't lose money on the new GT, still sold for over a million after the two year period ended. Wait two years and double your money, seems pretty good to me.
@WoolfJ35
What you said would be funny had we not seen everything Ford did to build this car. What's funny is you laughing at the Mustang badge but ignoring all other information.
Just wait until Ford makes the new GR1 newer than anything Chevy will produce
This reminds me of the Bmw new replacement CSL. which is priced for more than throwing same body kit on standard models. So why bother???
People saying this now is a sure sign this will be a future classic. People said the same about the Lexus lfa
Trust me when I say, with all due respect for the Lexus, this car has a ton of high tech components from the inboard rear suspension and massive carbon fiber brakes, to the carbon fiber driveshaft for additional lightness and rotational stability.
once they mandate all electric cars, all gas stations close, and outlaw any tailpipe emissions, what will these collector cars be worth, when it is impossible to actually drive them? sorry to burst all the bubbles out there! waiting for the hate comments, please bring them on!
If i had money to throw away I would Buy the Mustang GTD if it had a 3rd Pedal 6 or Like the C7 Corvette a 3rd Pedal 7 Speed Manual Transmission..
I am Currently Driving the Best mustang made in 2022 the Roush. With the Rev-Match Tremec 6 Speed, with MagneRide Suspension, and Limited Slip, intercooled Rear Differential (GT500 Differential) it is S/N: 22.0001.450R, this is Why I will Not Sell it. Even if I am Offered $1 million USA 👨🏻👍🏻🏎🏎🏁🏁🚩🚩
You would and that's not a kapp.
I wouldn’t pay that much for fresh cheese in case it ages poorly.
It is the best looking mustang ever though!
Ford will sell a million with the turbo four and six cylinder engines.
@mytwocoins - Yeah, I hear the turbo 4 GTDs will only be $190,000. Dude, I think that you have aged poorly, or maybe haven't aged at all!
Regarding the future value of the Ford GT. This is a classic example of someone who is probably right, but for all the wrong reasons. Ford long ago has been vindicated with going with the V6. That is not the problem. A problem it appears is that no mechanic shop wants to touch maintenance of the Ford GT engine. That makes owning one problematic unless you want to use it for show.
It’s actually insane to think that the ford gt didn’t sell well. It was a remake of a historic race car, fast loud, looks amazing and not crazy expensive. It makes no sense. I was 16 at the time and I wanted one but who knew they would quadruple in value
That's because ford ruined it with the ecoboost engine.
From what I've read, most all purist wanted a v8 as it should have been. That's why they HAD to come out with the v8 raptor in my opinion.
@johnnychimpo7539 - That was the 2005, 2006 Ford GT that didn't quite sell their target number. The 3rd. gen. GT with the TTV6 had over 9,000 applicants for it and the sold approx 1,500, which was right on target.
@@410ytlmustang - Ford ruined nothing with the TTV6. The engine was light, very powerful and extremely reliable. It also toasted the butts of the big boy competitors like the C-7 Corvette and BMW M8 competitors. The ones complaining that it was no good without a V8 had about as much technical understanding as the 3 Stooges! The V6 certainly didn't hurt the sales of it as Ford sold every one they had planned to. Over 9,000 potential buyers applied to buy one and just 1,500 were successful! How many V8 cars do you know that have a 216mph top speed? Didn't think so.

.....and none of those 3 GT500's you chose will hang with 1 GTD around a track.
How much money have you thrown into that garbage can corvette?
This is a limited track car, I am surprised it sint more
I was hoping Dodge and Chevrolet would hit back.......but then I saw the price 😂
you expect a street legal race car with parts from f15 and f22 fight jets to be cheap or something?
300k for a racecar isn't too bad when you see a 911 RSR is double the price
Yeah but when you buy a RSR you get more than just the car. You get a whole bunch of factory support as well
a 911 will do laps all day long, who knows how reliable the mustang is
RSR? Lmao, the RS already sells for double this car and is the direct competitor this car is aiming. No idea why even mention a race car when this is a street car..
rsr is a actual race car not a street car posing as one
Its obv the world is in a weird place rn, car guys with money didnt have this investment mentality back in the day and its kinda sickening.
GT500 barely gets 150 miles on a tankfull when pushed hard. This one will need mobile refueling.
I'm going to buy it 300k and when they win the gt class at Le Mans I'll sell it for 450k 👍
@iamarobotninja - Not until 2 years after you buy it.
It's a carbon Racecar that looks like a Mustang you can't mod a Mustang to be a GT-D...
Who in their right mind would buy a mustang for track racing at 300k ..!!! No thanks I’d buy a Porsche way before ..!! This will be a tough sell ..!! If they think that the for gt was a hard sale they haven’t seen nothing yet ..!!!

Why does this discussion never come up when BMW or Mercedes or any other manufacturer releases a special model that costs insane amounts of money?
Why does this only come up when it's Ford, Chevy or Dodge? Intrinsic bias.
The amount of work and changes that have gone into the GTD are actually crazy. It's a homologation racecar for the road. It's like buying your own GT3 car that you can daily.
Ford has earned the right to charge this much for something they put more work into than alot of Euro "special editions" that do less but cost even more.
The car is amazing, it's just that people will be hesitant to pay that much for a "Mustang" even tho the GTD is as far from a Mustang as the Mustang Mach E. I have a feeling had it been a new platform with a new name, people would easily buy it. Now, because it's a "Mustang", people will be hesitant.
Are you saying Ford is planning to sell the GTD w/o AC and a sweet audio system like the Cobra R? I highly doubt that...they certainly looked closely at the Porsche GT2 when laying this car out as it has so many things in common. I owned at GT2 for three years and yes they would kill you in a heartbeat if you got stupid and would set any track prod car record you drove on if you had the driving chops, but they were also great street cars. i would expect Ford to insure the same is true withe the GTD
Spaghetti Ferreti is selling drugs to buy the new mustang.
I'll keep my 2017 GT350R all day long.
@dancundiff3316 - Yeah, that is until a GTD comes upon you on the highway and fries your Won Tons! LOL
@@Loulovesspeed ?? What does that mean?
@@dancundiff3316 - Your GT350R is a great machine without a doubt, but it is nowhere near the GTD in its build technology or its abilities on the track - completely different car! That's what I meant.
@@Loulovesspeed Of course, I agree. At 64, my R is already way o my talents, it's just the last one for me, in a long line of LA built Shelby cars/
@@Loulovesspeed Way above darn it!
Regardless of your opinion, since it’s a limited production, they will sell out like hot cakes; just like the new Ford GT. And they won’t be driven, like the new Ford GT. Just purchased to flip them at some point.
They will sell every one they build and most will probably carry significant dealer markups.
You will never see a GTD for sale in a Ford dealership.
they are sold directly by FORD at STICKER
@williamegler8771 - They won't be subject to any markups as Ford Headquarters is controlling the sales of them, not dealers.
@Loulovesspeed
Yep!
I wonder ,though how much the options are ....or the cost of a fully optioned GTD
@@Loulovesspeed Until they are resold by flippers
You seriously complained about the lack of air conditioning in a Cobra R? It’s a stripped down track car, air conditioning doesn’t matter. Really sounding biased here. Would you say the same about a GT Black Series? No, because it’s from your precious Germany. Honestly, think about the purpose of the car before you judge it for the price and brand name alone.
I don't get it. $300k, there are a lot "better" options available. Heck, I'd rather have a C8.
It won't be as fast but go ahead and take the rental car
It looks like a terrible body kit on a mustang. I'd much rather have a Porsche GT3 touring.
@2011blueman - Good for you! You watch the taillights of the GTD for a millisecond as it blows by you!
People that have a bigger wallet than a brain 🧠 that price is asking for a lung and two legs
The list of goods on the GTD is long and legit. You better throw in a right arm as well. You get what you pay for it this world.
😂people with deep pockets like you
What does GTD stand for?
It means more than you can afford buddy
@@MichaelSmith-jv7zm --- Not your buddy pal.
Quick Google says says new GTD Mustang named for the IMSA Grand Touring Daytona GTD class,
I don't even understand how the ford GT sold, who would pay twice as much as a Ferrari or Lamborghini for a Ford, but it sold, so I think this Mustang will sell, even at that price point that doesn't make any sense.
You mean the Ford GT that now sells used for a million + dollars?
ill get a ugr sto
IMO, the side profile looks like a GTR with a Camaro front end...just not Mustang.
Well, that's why Ford left the taillights in Mustang form so other track drivers know they got passed by a Ford Mustang.
Im not a mustang fan but.. people are paying 300k for a 22b sti thats 25 years old.... sooo yeah. People is dumb
It has some lines of a porsche 911? probaly Im a bit obsessed with the 911. Sorry but I´m more in that line than in the new Mustang.🚗
That's fine. It's a killer car.
2017 GT coughs in corner
The problem is they're shooting for Porsche GT3 RS and should be aiming for Corvette ZO6.
Corvette z06 is no match for this car, it was no match for the Gt3.
@@Jimmyxsx
Exactly.
So many folks have no clue what Ford has unveiled here. They can't get past the Mustang logo and price.
@@richardmodglin3900 - You just hit the proverbial nail right square on the head! Most sensible comment in this entire video. They are completely clueless because they can't read, or are too f.....g lazy to. 😎 👍
Did anyone want a pre riced mustang for over a quarter mil?
Isn't this video kinda disrespecting the people who built this car or people who are interested in buying it ? People who are gonna buy this car are people who are hand picked by Ford, people who should be aware and are aware that this car isn't a simple daily car or something that can be easily driven with no skill. Ford also makes sure you are gonna use it and race it with their application as that's the whole point, most people interested in buying one are well aware of these facts and have posted videos on TH-cam literally based on this fact, so stop acting like people are clueless. This car is priced right, 130-150k is ridiculous to consider when a C8 ZO6 is already hitting 200k and is nowhere near this cars level of performance, most cars at 130-150k don't have anything this car has at all or is capable as this car, and is again an insult to the people who built this car and the amount of work they put into it. If you think it's easy and cheap or should be than go ahead and built your own. I feel like it's mostly opinions without actual thought put behind it. The whole issue here with people trying to tell Ford to make a Corvette competitor with the Mustang is ridiculous considering they were never rivals, that is where the Camaro should be but they discontinued it, Ford aren't required to change the Mustang to beat the Corvette either or make a Corvette competitor. Sure people will argue Ford is losing out on competing against it, but Chevy is losing out competing against Ford with their Mustang, Raptor, Bronco, Ford GT and many more cars they have made, so why not argue those points too ? The ones complaining that this is no good have about as much technical understanding as the 3 Stooges.
Most guys into mustangs that have that kinda of money to drop on a car are just modifying their gt’s and gt500’s 🤷♂️
@drunkpolack7612 - They can modify them until they retire and they will never compete with this machine! You can only do so much modifying. This GTD is a whole new ballgame - try reading more about it.
