The value (which is somewhat tongue in cheek when discussing 130+ thousand dollar cars) of the new S is great when you consider a similarly optioned car was 12+ grand more last year.
I just wish they had not thrown in the PCCB brakes.

I don't see the value for $130K given that the Ford GT costs $150K (if you can get it for MSRP).
$130K for a 996 Turbo S is overpriced, in my opinion.

True, but where is the back seat in the Ford GT?
I should have snapped a picture of my new kitchen sink in the back of the Turbo yesterday.
