Not surprised at all that a small percentage are Mustang owners. The typical Mustang owner logically doesn’t have the resources to purchase the GTD. In addition, the money people see this car as something more than a Mustang- which in reality is true.
I am a C8 owner and started the application for the GTD and didnt complete it. I had a mustang 35 years ago and about 25 years ago and a current F150. But the application asked about “historic fords etc..”. I also drive my car a couple thousand miles a year and enjoy shows… but i dont “track” my car. I felt i had no shot and didnt complete it. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get one!
I'm kind of shocked at the stats they put out. Would have thought a larger percentage would have been Mustang owners they should be choosing ppl who have been involved w Ford & will USE the vehicle the way it's MEANT TO BE DRIVEN..🏎💨💨 YOU DEFINITELY DESERVE the ALLOCATION !!! GREAT video by the way!!!
Speed Phenom Great Video I think it's awesome that GTB applications are officially closed and I hope you'll get accepted for an Allocation and I'm not surprised that only a small percentage of applicants are Mustang owners
Seriously don’t know how to make it anymore simple, Austin saying he’s surprised there are not many Mustang buyers putting down applications and I responded that it’s normal seeings how it’s way out of the regular Mustang owners budget…not sure what’s so complicated to understand here!!
I’d bet money that on track Speed Phenom in a regular GT500 could keep up or beat the vast majority of people that get allocated this car. Spending money on training, etc makes more sense than buying a GTD
I understand why Ford made the application process so onerous, but aren't they a manufacturer? Why not just build as many as people want if the goal is to get them in the hands of those who will drive them? So what if a number of people don't drive them. Just sell more of them. It's not Ford's job to push the value of the car up due to planned scarcity. Again, aren't they a manufacturer? If over 7,000 people were willing to jump through all the hoops of the application process, I wasn't, then why not just build that many. In fact, why not build as many as they can sell? Again, the point is to get them in the hands of people that will drive them. Broken record .. replay.
I hope not! Another thought just crossed my mind... what if a big portion of these are repeat applications from multiple family members or people connected? Let's say you apply, your brother, your son, etc... Didn't consider that!
Austin- are dealers allowed to mark up the GTD cost above msrp if you are given an allocation by Ford? Is Ford making sure you can buy the GTD at msrp if selected by Ford? Would you believe the GTD will increase in value immediately? My bet is there is no big appreciation above msrp. Pricing around $225,000 would have been more rational.
I don't think Ford dealers marked up Ford GTs when new, so I'm guessing the GTD is the same way... I don't know if it will increase in value. I would like for all these cars to at least retain their value. It all depends on the reception from people after the car has been out for a while. Regardless, I think this really applies to people who intend on sitting with the vehicle immobilized in the garage. I intend on miles and the track! Let's see what happens! :)
I do hope they accept your application and you get a Ford GTD and keep it do not sell it like you did your super snake please keep it it's well worth it...... !!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
The owners/applicants are obviously rich car enthusiasts so I think it makes sense that they are in the market for a GTD. Some will buy for collectable reasons
lot of speculators ? who will resale it in 2yrs with 4 miles , look at original owners or owners of a 2017-23 FORD GT how many miles do they have ? demon 170 owners how many miles do you have on your car ? do you drive cars in your collection ? or they sit in the plastic brand new ..this is a trac day car needs to be driven
What are we classifying as a supercar? Is a 911 a supercar or just the right model? Is a nissan gtr a super car? You would for sure say a Lamborghini Gallardo is a supercar, but the gtr is faster.
Still too much money for a mustang regardless of how great the car is or may be. It’s not their market. The GT was a stretch and is a niche departure for them. The GT500 even seems beyond the ford customer price point
I just dont see who would pay this much for a mustang? $325k is going to turn into $400k with options. You’re into Super Ferrari numbers price wise. I can get a 911 GT2RS for this. It’s just an idiotic product from a company that should be making a corvette competitor. Would you rather go to the track in a GT3RS McLaren or Ferrari or a Ford Mustang? Why not a $500,000 escape? This is stupid. Ford should have made a car that competes with the Corvette or the 911 GTS. But instead they COMPLETELY ABANDON their life long customers. But nobody can accuse Ford of taking care of its customers lately. They gouged their Lightning customers and now their F150 prices are pushing $80,000 for a half ton pickup. Ford is just being idiotic . They have customers who desperately want to buy something with the blue oval for performance and their company instead builds cars for people who’ve never owned a Ford. No wonder their hurting
The Mustang is the Poor Mans Sports Car, just like the 1971 240Z was the Poor Mans Ferrari GTO.... Mustang Fits with the Aston Martin Vantage, Mercedes GT-RS AMG, Nissan GT-R Front Engine Rear Wheel 2+2.. 4 Years Ago the GT350 was in 3rd Place for the majority of Tracks behind the Porsche in 1st, or Ferrari depending on the Track, with Bentley in 2nd with Farrari... in 3rd Place was the GT350, and behind were 3 Mercedes GT-RS AMG.... the Lead 4th Place AMG would always knock out of Contention the 3rd Place Mustang... the GT350 won twice which I can remember.. though it was the Same Time Lewis Hamilton Mercedes doing the Same to Red Bull Max Verstappen... Plain and simple Mercedes can't admit to Losing to a Mustang that sell for 1/3 of the price without adding weight like Twin Turbos (everything Else ) GT350 was all Motor Naturally Aspirated Durability Ruled.. Also, winning with a Manual Transmission, not Sequential. 👨🏻🤘🏻🏎️🏁🚩🧗🏻 Hopefully you get your GTD. It will be $1 Million in 10 years

I've never wanted any car more than my shelby gt500 except this new GTD
Roger that.

GREAT video by the way!!!
Thank you so much! That is really kind of you. Thank you so much for your kind words.
I suspect many of the applicants have Porsche GT2/3 RS, Corvettes and probably a portion with the usual exotics, Ferraris, Lambo, McLaren.
Speed Phenom Great Video I think it's awesome that GTB applications are officially closed and I hope you'll get accepted for an Allocation and I'm not surprised that only a small percentage of applicants are Mustang owners
No surprise here….The average Ford Mustang owner does not have anywhere near the budget necessary to purchase this vehicle
Do you really think this is for the average mustang owner? Why are you mad. I’m not mad I own 3 mustangs but this is game changer for the company.
It isn’t for the average Mustang owner. Just like the 911 Turbo S is for a different segment than the Boxter. Not complicated.
The gap is even bigger between a gtd and a mustang than it is between a boxter and a turbo s
@@caribbeanseas what’s your point
Seriously don’t know how to make it anymore simple, Austin saying he’s surprised there are not many Mustang buyers putting down applications and I responded that it’s normal seeings how it’s way out of the regular Mustang owners budget…not sure what’s so complicated to understand here!!
Very interesting information! You got this!
Thanks!! I hope so! We will see in just 2 months!
I’d bet money that on track Speed Phenom in a regular GT500 could keep up or beat the vast majority of people that get allocated this car. Spending money on training, etc makes more sense than buying a GTD
That front fender design looks kinda weird to me. Would like to see something much better on an expensive car like that.
Most mustang owners aren't dropping 350k on cars if they had that kinda coin they'd have supercars
They probably do have supercars and hypercars
They should do one as a sweepstakes 😂
THAT MUSTANG,,,IS SO EPIC ,I LOVE IT♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

Austin, you rock! Hope you get one. Peace
Thanks!! I really appreciate it! You're the best!
They just need to make more GTD's than being as limited as it is. Most people looking to get it are looking to flip it.
That means a lot of potential buyers will be sadly disappointed, if they're only building 1000, or is it 2000?
I bet half of the requests are dealership managers/owners trying to get one to resell.
I hope not! Another thought just crossed my mind... what if a big portion of these are repeat applications from multiple family members or people connected? Let's say you apply, your brother, your son, etc... Didn't consider that!

I could care less who applied. I'm curious about the demographics of the people who get an allocation.😉
It would be nice if Ford released some performance statistics.
I do hope they accept your application and you get a Ford GTD and keep it do not sell it like you did your super snake please keep it it's well worth it...... !!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
The owners/applicants are obviously rich car enthusiasts so I think it makes sense that they are in the market for a GTD.
Some will buy for collectable reasons
At the GTD price point I'm not surprised by the numbers. This to me is a just a Mustang in name, kind of like the Mach E...
It burns me to think a certain group of applicants in it for money.
When will they announce who will get one??🤔
Coming up fast in July!
Thanks
GT3, i submitted an application and own a 992 GT3. never owned a Mustang, but own a F150, I want to drive this car, track this car.
That's awesome! i wish you the best with your application!! Congrats on your GT3
And here i thought 2020 GT500 was At the Pinnacle of Mustangs 😱
lot of speculators ? who will resale it in 2yrs with 4 miles , look at original owners or owners of a 2017-23 FORD GT how many miles do they have ? demon 170 owners how many miles do you have on your car ? do you drive cars in your collection ? or they sit in the plastic brand new ..this is a trac day car needs to be driven
I'm stunned with the mileage of 2017-23 Ford GTs... It's almost like a lot of them have been frozen in time.
@@SpeedPhenom its a car its made to drive one needs to put 500 miles a yr service it one a year
90% of the GTD’s will sit in a collection or cross the block at Barrett Jackson
I hope not!
