The Vette at $45,000 (for the base vehicle?) is not really such a bad deal is it? I drove an '02? (6speed), I believe it was, that really drove nice and had plenty of power (345 hp?) at around 3100-3200 lbs. Anyway, I couldn't really flog it well enough to test it with the owner sitting right beside me, but it did run and handle well for that kind of car. I'm really a Ford kind of guy, but I could not fault that Vette in any way except maybe for the looks, and that wasn't too bad either. OK, I know I'm open for flames now, LOL.

I'm completely with you on that point.
Both cars have their strengths and if my garage would both .... I wouldn't mind.

I'm just watching the markup wars at dealerships with their first batch of GT500s. Waiting for the day to see these GT500s go for MSRP or with incentives.

A buddy of mine ordered one..He gave 10k over the stick price....and he was tickled with that.....He talked like he was going to sell it for 15k over the sticker...but I really don't know about that...

Yeah, good luck to him on that. There are 7,500 being made so it's not like the GT500 is a real low production vehicle. Ford had problems moving the Mach 1's off the lots at MSRP a couple years ago (I saw some discounted vehicles) and that was at 10,000 units. Granted the Cobra was also in production, but many of those were going at MSRP or discounted as well.
