That's retarded. I asked MSRP and it still took a while to sell.

Weve been offered MSRP and even up to $5k over a few times for our 50th and we say no.

i know a guy who sold a Hellcat at a $20k mark up and got screwed with a $2000 cap. i sell Toyotas though, i would love to have that problem

We get capped too but they haven't been paying too much attention to it lately =)

The funny thing about it is... eventually they all sell.

Except F-150 Tremors, those things will rot on my lot for all eternity.

Haha thank god we got rid of all of ours. And I think we lost money on all of them.

We still have a couple left. Pale Adobe XLTs sell quicker than tremors. I thought we were going to be stuck with a Ruby Red w/Lime Green Accent Stage 3 forever. Had the glass roof, electronics pkg, and aluminator pkg. MSRP was like $80K all said and done. One day a guy trades a Jag and a Grand Sport for it.

I must say, the F150 Tremors are really nice though, but I'd rather build a single cab short box for cheaper then what a Tremor is worth. Now if I won the lottery, I'd have one, or two...

I've never even heard of an F-150 Tremor...how bad could they be though?

They are essentially F-150 single cab FX's with an EcoBoost, and only a 4.10 rear end. They tried to make a F-150 Lightning comeback, and didn't fully think it through. I would have bought one if they didn't restrict it to the 4.10 rear end.

Just How low will you go? My son would love one but he refuses to pay more for a single cab f-150 than a screw.

I started with 6 and now am left with two 2WD Tremors, one in white and one in silver. IIRC I'm at 32K on them. But at this point I'll pay you to take them.

Same here! lol - I had a bastard, Ford built unit that I didn't order. Pale Adobe, Lariat Crew Cab, 6.5ft bed, Max Tow Package, chrome package with a 6.2L V8 and that sold faster than the Tremors (and I had that unit for 400+ days).

I must say, the F150 Tremors are really nice though, but I'd rather build a single cab short box for cheaper then what a Tremor is worth. Now if I won the lottery, I'd have one, or two...

Problem with the Tremor: Ford tried to resurrect a market segment that dissipated with SRT10 Ram and the Lightning. All those who bought those trucks grew up, got families and now need four doors. That being said, those previous vehicles still have enough demand to warrant good resale value, but for a new product line... there simply isn't enough want, especially for the price.

Depends on the car really, if the GT350R is very rare you may be ok. Look at the Ford GT, those are selling used for 100K+ over the original MSRP.

The GT500 never really reached that status since they made so many, but values of those are holding very strong. Same with Terminators, many of those are still in the mid 20s even though they are 10+ years old.

I understand that line of thinking but I dont see the car holding that same value in the customers eyes as the Ford GT. Just because at the end of the day it will still be seen as a mustang to most people. Exclude those of us that know better. If I had the money id pay more than sticker for a ford gt where I wouldnt do the same for a brand new mustang.... Unless I was filthy rich. That scares me about the car. Id love to have one but im afraid that itll be a dream and it sucks to think that. I have absolutley fell in love with the new model and they one upped themselves following with a gt350. I hope that I can get one in the next couple of years. Idk.... we shall see

Spot on. We currently have a '15 Stage 1 and my money is on at least 150 days on lot.

A couple quick phone pics, since it's raining...

These pictures do NOT do these wheels justice. I'm happy. I think the fitment is good.

Those look awesome!
I was looking for a nice clean (and easy TO clean) 5-spoke design, and nobody made one at the time ... any details on them? Make/model/sizes?

They are available through Aspire Motoring, I bought them on Ebay. They are Eurotek U08 wheels, which are typically a BMW fitment in 5x120, but Aspire bought some 'blanks' (not drilled to a bolt pattern yet) and drilled them to 5x114.3. The offset on mine is 40mm and they are 19x9.5 front and rear, but they also have 19x8.5 and can do any offset from 20-40mm on either size. My bathroom scale says they are just under 26lbs per wheel, around 55lbs for each wheel/tire combo.
Tires are Accelera Phi 285/35-19 all around.
