Considering the GT500 was $62k+, I seriously doubt it would be that cheap.

Gt 350 is the 500s baby brother... they still plan a big hp 500 car.. so unless they want to price thr 500 in the 70s, the 350 should be 50 somethin.

Considering the GT500 is now no longer going to be produced, it will be 60k+

Its also extememly expensive to produce. The height of the engine is also the problem. Thats why the 5.0 took over.

I still don't see that motor fitting in these new cars...

Widht may end pu being just enough to shoehorn it in there, but I see no way that height of the 5.8 with the blower will fit into this new car's engine bay.

So someone makes a pic of a GT500 in the new body style must means they are making one. SMH. And can you find a bigger pic Steve?
