130k USD for a V8 in the GS? LOL not a chance. If they're going for an M5 killer they're gonna have to do better.

Back in the day.....There was a kit available for the 240Z. You could drop in a Chevy 327/351. You want more horse power, get creative.

The article said conversion from pounds to US dollars was "tricky". There is more to it than that because the pricing in England is much different than here. Frequently, prices in pounds over there translate to the same price in dollars here. It would not be hard to imagine the GS-F priced at $80,000 depending on equipment if you look at projected RC-F prices.

Yeah, I think I read the stripper RC-F will start around 63k. I can see an 80k GS-F if that's true.

63k starting point and it can quickly gets up to 80k as a few members have pre-ordered theirs

an under 80k starting price for the gsf is possible given it's going to be the same v8 but maybe few more ponies, but with options, i think it will be low to mid 90s

Yep. 90-95, for most of the options we would all want.

Yeah, for 95k, it HAS to have 500hp, minimum. Waste of time/money otherwise.

Exactly. In this segment, bragging rights matter. Numbers are bragging rights. This car MUST have over 500hp
