[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1530177, member: 20286"] The markups on the 2020 GT500s are dealer markups. Once the first rush of demand is gone, the huge dealer markups are gone. Same as the Raptor, and every other desirable vehicle for has every sold. "Limited production". Why? Why would they limit sales of an extremely profitable vehicle? They have a factory that produces those engines. It's not like there is a GT500 engine tree that only bares so many engines per year. If Ford want to make 100,000 "GT500 engines" a year to put in trucks, they can do it- both easily and cheaply. True, they do not make the supercharger, but they are are getting them for supplied for prices that are insanely low compared to what you would pay for one yourself. For you guys who don't know, the "GT500" engine is not some super-exotic high dollar engine- it's just a beefed up Coyote engine with a blower bolted on top. Which is actually just a tweaked version of the original 1991 4.6L mod motor V8. [/QUOTE]
