Wow   :o

That picture reminded me of the only 2015 'Stang I've looked at that didn't totally turn me off.
Looks pretty good in white with the black wheels.  Still.. it looks so nose heavy....

That's crazy.  Wow.  I wonder the $$.  But, hopefully we'll see this type of wheel bleeding down - unsprung weight with those massive wheels/tires has been getting stupid.

My guess is $60-$70k. Anymore then but a C7.

USD or CDN?

60 USD
70 CDN

Good guess. U.S. pricing has been announced. $61,370 for the R, $47,870 for the "normal" GT350.

The new Mustang is really hot right now and I see more daily. Why can't GM make a worthy competitor in terms of styling and packages? If the GT350 was $50k CDN I might rethink my position.

I think the new Camaro looks pretty damn good......not as good as the Mustang, but its a big improvement.

Better but has a long way to go. The domestics struggle with making understated wow designs IMO. I am a fan of that.

That is priced very well!  I don't think you will see them sold at MSRP for the first year....at least.
Definitely not...considering they are only making 100 GT350 and 37 GT350R for 2015

My understanding is they are building those right at the end of the model year before they switch over to the '16s. Basically just a way for them to offer a very limited 50th anniversary model that won't be any different from the more readily available '16s.

Pricing does not appear to be as generous in Canada.

Starting at just over $64K with the GTR at $81K CDN.

Info here: http://jalopnik.com/2016-ford-mustang-shelby-gt350-starts-at-47-870-1707011604

That article suggests the 'normal' GT350 doesn't have the flat plane crank engine, is that true?

No, all GT350s get the Voodoo flat plane engine.

Yeah they need to keep the starting price about $10k less than a C7 to keep it viable imo.

Somehow I don't think they're going to have any trouble selling them even if it is more expensive than a base C7.

Sidenote: When was the last time you saw a base model Corvette? They're about as common as a BMW without the premium package.
