we dont NEED anything with more than 100 hp on the street but its a matter of preference and choice.
id love to see the price tag on this stang...im sure the warranty on it is fucked so that will drop the buyer market a bit...i love mustangs but not sure about this one unless they offer more choices on color schemes. the rims are ok, but who cares, they are the first thing to go on every new car anyway

no,and i dont street race either.id even prefer not to be run over by some dumbass with 700 horsepower and no self discipline or clue as to controlling that much horsepower on the street. you may have the discipline not to use that much power all the time but im sure theres a few people on this forum that would manage to kill people with that much power.

I rarely hear about people with high horsepower cars hurting people on the street. Normally people who invest lots of time and money are not willing to risk their investment or their lives (because they actually have something to lose). Accidents happen and there's always the exception to the rule. I don't think someone driving a high horsepower car is any more dangerous than someone texting while driving an f250 on 275 at 5 p.m. on a Friday.

I imagine the price is going to be up there (60-80k, ballpark) and the majority of people that would buy that arent pedal to the floor everywhere. Yes I imagine that they'd get on it from time to time, but most people with a vehicle like that are more cautious/mature than the typical 17 street ricer w/ their 100hp civic.

Way too much money when you can just purchase a turbo kit that uses the stock headers and makes about the same hp
