08GT500KR Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 $35655 for the package. An 80% upcharge, how crazy is that? They will sell everyone of these and you can take that to the bank. I agree about the price, but a big factor in that is your are paying for the exclusivity of this unit as well as all of the engineering, testing, etc. With only 1700 units being produced that is why these costs are greater as the costs are being spread out thru only 1,700 cars. When you have 50,000 cars produced of course the cost would be less, and so would the rarity that goes along with such a limited number production car. I wish it had the six piston brakes and cross drilled rotors along with the 20" rims included in the price, but it is what it is, and in my opinion it is one hell of an automobile, well done. The only thing that I did not understand was the mark up in the fuel surcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax1228 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm biting my nails. I take it no "real' hopes of you sobering up or my seeing the King during my trip there the 16th through the 20th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckstang Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 That front hood lip alignment can be corrected quite a bit with the rubber stoppers, they are height adjustable. Mine was way off and now it is better, not perfect but I gota live with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtbird91 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I hate to bash this car but I'm extremely disappointed. ... wheels, spoiler, color and hood alignment :barf: Don't get me wrong I'd take it if someone was giving it away ... I would just have to upgrade to Alcoa 20's and live with the rest. Going with 20's would be a downgrade not an upgrade performance wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr4teth Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Going with 20's would be a downgrade not an upgrade performance wise. To each his own but I look for a balance of performance and appearance and IMO those stock wheels are hideous! Personally I would be willing to sacrifice the minor performance "downgrade" by going with 20's. On a side note I don't have $100K+ laying around I can spend on another car so I guess this is a mute point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it deprieciates thus is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what King you want see. If its the KR, my guess is I will have moved on from booze and started putting things up my nose by then.
