Here is the way I see it. I am sure allot will not agree and thats fine with me

The GT500 is a beautiful car no Doubt. I am not a mustang fan, but I do respect them and there heritage just as any true Mustang fan would the Camaros heritage.

Do I think Ford has the end all and be all of the Pony cars? NO not even a chance. 540HP is great, but if you cant put it down to the pavement you are pissing in the wind. Further more I can only assume that it will cost 50K. The car that I have on order is slightly over 35K. As we all know it has 422 HP. So lets say with the 15K I saved I put a blower on it, like the shelby has. Lets be on the Conservative side and say it would give me a 40% gain/ That is 590 HP. I still have 8K left over for my new rims, drag radials, exhaust, tune and dyno runs. When you put it in perspective I really dont think it is anything for us to worry about.

Again you will never here me Mustang Bashing....Why because it is a RWD American made car, the Mustang has just as strong as a heritage as the Camaro does. We have to respect that. IF you dont you need a history lesson on why the Camaro was built in the first place.

Plus if need be we can reach into the arsenal of Vettes, Z06, ZR1
