I just put in an order for 2011 GT500. Only thing you can order right now is a 2011 Vert.

So far I only see one color change.

Race Red

The only option that I see that is new is

67F SVT Performance Package
P265/40 P285/40
RR Spoiler with GF (dont know what that means)
3.73 limited slip axle
19".95 Prem Painted Wheels

NO PRICE!!!

Ill keep playing over the next few weeks and see if anything changes.

I think that the Alum block is a DONE deal for the GT500

Michael, can you post a pdf of the 2011 brochure? I like to see all colors, options, specs.....etc.

[Michael Morris]

Luis, I dont have that yet

I just went to the order bank and tried to order a GT500. It would only allow me to put the info in for a GT500 Convert!


No price or anything. Did this is 08 and found out about the GO SGTs. Sometimes it lets you play with the orders before the order bank opens.

Thanks for the information. Trying to decide now whether to look for 09 on the lot...or 2010 or order 2011. I Don't know what to do! I do want to see what changes, if any, the 2011's have..with color or options!

[LuisA]

....order one of eacjh and you will be covered!

[bonefish]

Don't tempt me! I just might!

Alum block...I'm betting price jumps big time....like $6k at least. Also are 3.73s really necessary? I mean doesn't the GT500 have a hard enough time hooking up without a higher gear ratio then it does now? Wouldn't a 3.73 set of gears hurt fuel mileage too?

Wow, confirmed 3.73 rear end gear? It's really gonna smoke the tires in 1st gear. I bet the price is gonna be at least an additional 6-7g out the door. The Gas Guzzler Tax will go back up. I don't know how much, probably back to at least $1400. MSRP $59,999.99??

[bonefish]

If price is going up then I think that takes me outta of the game for a 2011. I will probably just find an 09 or 10....

Damn....$6k..really? That is really getting up there!

Do you really think that the price will increase that much? Wow...just asking...I had no idea the aluminum block costs that much more. Glad I got my '10 then. No way I could dish out that additional cash. whew...sometimes things work out just right.

I wouldn't put too much stock in that price increase. Pure speculation at this point. If Cheby really is going to build the Z28 then Ford will have to compete on price as well. If I were you I wouldn't buy anything or get all upset until you see real prices, not wild ass guesses.

I wonder if the 20" rear wheel thing is true too.......??

[bpmurr]

Is it just me or does it not seem right to have a performance package on the 2011? Shouldn't it come the best way possible by default?

True, but keep in mind these are vert options. The '10 vert came with 18" cast wheels so it looks like they're offering the 19" forged coupe wheels as an option which is nice for the vert guys who felt left out. I presume we'll see a coupe performance package too with the 3.73's, 20" rear wheel with stickier 305's, etc.

I love my car but every day I want a 2011 more and more

I hope a dealer will sell me one for less than msrp and its mine
