They fucked up before, they brought out the capri RS 3.1 just as the energy crises hit in 1970.

I bet a lot of those are speculators hoping to make a profit. Thus screwing any true RS fans who want to get a car.

They are not sold out,you can easily order through Ford today....its not as limited as the orig FRS. As already mentioned many people put down deposits thinking they will make a quick profit,then the economy went tits up and people won't want to pay a premium(if they have any sense) to get bumped up the waiting list.

Im tempted with one and am very unsure about the colour as most people will have blue or white (Best colours IMO) and it looks as if they will be quite regular cars, even tho a limited run.
Do you think you could bargain the price down if they are not selling or would Ford reduce the price??

selling a limited car for a profit has gone on for years,example it happens a lot in the porsche/ferarri i.e 430scud,gt3rs world if people are stupid enough to pay over list good luck to the guys making a profit i.m.h.o
