And ALSO.. why are people bring up a $13K difference when in actuality the difference in price between the GRAND SPORT and the GT500 is actually more like $4K]???

As for the numbers that matter

Horsepower, bhp @ rpm 436 @ 5900 ....................................550 @ 6200
Torque, lb-ft @ rpm 428 @ 4600 ............................................510 @ 4250
0-60 mph 4.1 sec .................................................. ..................4.4 sec
0-100 mph 9.2 sec .................................................. .................9.2 sec
0-1320 ft (1/4 mile) 12.4 sec @ 116.5 mph .............................12.6 sec @ 118.9 mph
Top speed 190 mph* .................................................. .............155 mph*
Pulley swap and tune

And imho the curb weight advantage of 460lb towards the GS makes up for the GT500 higher bhp

So the point about the GT500 being more powerful is moot

68.3 - 55.5 = 12.8K--- rounded up to 13K.

And I agree with the Fact that if you was to put another 13k into the GT500.. it will murder almost everything on the road.. shit all it takes is 5k
