I understand that. At the end of the day though, you are spending $100,000 for a Mustang that has a hood cowl and slicks (I know it has more under the hood, but try to understand what I'm getting at). The only people that can appreciate that are people that actually understand what it is. Everyone else just looks at it like, "Cool Mustang bro".

even the people that appreciate it should be appauled at the price tag...
I bet anyone with the know how to turn a wrench could build the same thing for half the price.

Its a mustang. that costs as much as an audi R8.

don't care how much is done to it, or how much power it puts out or what the price tag it is, a mustang just isn't "supercar" class.
it is a middle class, entry level "sports" car usually driven by women that need to prove they are "equal" to their male counter parts.

just think of the conversation.
People that can afford 100K+ cars all hang out with other people that afford 100K+ cars.

"I just imported a classic Ferrari for a steal. Only dropped 105K on it. "
-"Oh shit. for realz? I just spent that much at the ford dealership."
"really?! whatever did you spend 100K on at the ford dealership?"
-"I gots me one of them there fancy mustangs"
"right." *mumbles to self while walking away* "great, another redneck with a settlement.."

And there is always going to be the mindset that every person buys a car to impress other people with. I personally buy and build what makes me happy. I don't care what others think of how much I spent, or what emblem is on the hood. If it puts a smile on my face I'll pay what I think that smile is worth

^ Some people buy cars for the rareity and just to say they have one. I highly doubt they will make a lot of these cars. It's not like you will walk into a Ford Dealership and see hundreds of these on the lot. Maybe a few. This will be a rare model and maybe one day we will end up seeing this on Barrett Jackson for sale.

I'm a bit buzzed, but just laughed out loud at $100,000 for a Mustang again.

An audi owner would laugh at a $100k mustang.

Weird how that has nothing to do with what I said, lol you kinda agreed with this ^ post, that the emblem on the car doesnt make the car, or the price tag, yet the idea of a pricy mustang makes u laugh, idk just saying, anyone man, what you up to today?
