I'm glad you mentioned that.


Half the ZL1's bought here are still for sale........

More to do with the price tag. Handling option isn't remotely close to the ZL1

Yeah but you yourself have said if it's 10k you wouldn't see the value in it.

So here's a perfect example of people wanting something, but only at their price.

Yes, when it's a $3500 option in the states (or $5k locally plus tax) by the looks of things. $6k I'd pay happily.

And add on the ADR compliance costs, inventory costs, LCST etc.

If that was a million dollars for AU.

@250 units that's an extra $4000 per car on top of the option cost.

It's easy to see where it could add 10K to each car.

So you're saying that Ford, who could do all the testing and so on while in development couldn't add some cheap wider guards cause its addition would add millions in development?

Ok then.

Truth be told, I'd probably pay the extra $10k anyway if it was an option. Heck, I paid $3k for stupid pbr caliper upgrades on my BA XR8 in 2003. This is much more value for money.

If you think $1Mill is a lot of money for bespoke ADR compliance just for Australia you are mislead.

Ok, you're right... And my money won't be going to any of the lacklustre products.
