The KR is more limited then even the Ford GT was...... many dealers think they can put in a 30-40,000$ premium.... but I think that will fall to $15,000-20,000 rather quickly..... the dealers with those 75k premiums are going to be few and far between, and the dealers that have the KR long after production has ended...

That said.... My ONLY complaint about the KR, after having seen and been in one this past w/e is this (a very special prototype) ... the Hood is a VERY expensive piece... a carbon fiber, with every intake, and vent being functional... it has over 100 separate pieces, and cost nearly as much to produce as the engine....

I'd much rather have Ford use an Aluminum block (that would fit in the engine bay) to reduce weight, then a carbon fiber hood.

That said, the press launch was a week ago.... and the journo's are VERY surprised, and impressed

as far as "doing the mod's yourself" the parts used aren't in the FRP catalogue for the KR... not yet anyway..
