Holy cow batman... so much misinformation in this thread its amazing... where to start...

Part 1...
Officially the mustang comes in 3 trims(V6, GT, GT500). Everything else is an OPTION.

The KR and any other special models (saleen, roush, etc..) are an aftermarket upgrade (think lingefelter, berger, tom henry, etc...).

Part 2..

The mustang is cheap.. show me another car that gives you 300HP for 27k out the door? OR how about a RWD coupe that sells for under 20k?...

Thats right there isnt one.. Its also NOT overpriced for what you get. Its actually a VERY good bargin. Its not mercedes or Beemer quality .. but it doent need to be, the materials last, don't wear out, and dont look like dog poop many years down the line.

Part 3 ...
Value wise again, you can boost the base GT up to about 400HP-445HP with forced induction WITH NO ENGINE MODS. Thats right ... stock crank, pistons, valves on 400HP and still have a reliable daily driver that WONT leave you on the side of the road every 1k miles.

Really at the end of the day, you have to look at sales, guess what they made a KILLING off the new model and rightly so, it looks OK, it gets decent mileage, and its a bargin of a sports car.
