whatever helps you sleep at night knowing for 40k+ you've got a 3900lb car that will get raped by a GT for the same cash.

If your looking to make 700hp+ buy the GT500. For the rest of the world, it makes more sense to buy the GT and modd it. Then you have a faster, cheaper and customized car.
The only way this wouldnt be the case is if you were anal about resale or warranty.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
