the z06 runs 70k and the GTR is 75k, if you can afford 60k you can afford these as well.

He probably means the price difference between the gt and the cobra.

But yeah, if the gt already has over 400hp then 30K for the car + 10K for supercharger, suspension, etc, would get you to the 550hp for about 20k less than the cobra.

I have to agree.... I've never been a Ford fan really, but they've done a really nice job with the new 'stang. Especially now that the base V6 model is no longer such a slow pig. And their quality has gotten a lot better now to. Hats off to them.

And since I dont know how to drive standard, I love that they still offer models in automatic. And their quality has gotten a lot better now to. Hats off to them.
Fixed.

dude, not in here. aaron please ignore that.

yeah for the extra 30k i could have that thing fully built, boosted, wheels, full suspension and brakes. maybe even some cash to spare. i think the GT500 is more of a novelty item but the fair price for it should be 40/45k IMO.

These cars will do 11s on drag radials and bolt ons and go well into the 10s on a simple 100 shot. Almost too easy to go fast in one.

I think must Mustangs are reliable, yea they get alot of wear and tear, and other weird random bugs, but honestly the avalibility of these cars, allows for parts and most labor to be pretty cheap.
