really? have you ever met him in person? when I've met with him in the past, he's been hella nice to talk to... telling old racing stories, talking about how people said that putting a 289 into an AC body was crazy, etc.... he's kinda hard of hearing these days, but his mind is full of information that makes him a really interesting study, IMO

and back on the topic of buying the GT500, if I buy a car, I'm going to mod it... so why not start the ball off with 500hp and then start adding pulleys and juice from there... just 'cause its got 500hp, doesn't mean you can't go higher... just have to wait a little longer to start modding it

My plan B is between G8 or EvoX. I live in Massachusetts and its snows a lot here. An AWD car will be perfect for this are, but I want my 5gen so bad that I can't wait.

But - yeah, I like that plan, Diarmadhi (You'd be doing the poor Mustang a favor, giving it the power it deserves)...agreed w/ LSx, though - that might be a shaky ride after a while.
No plan B? Wow I have like a plan B, C, D, E…

Well...'Plan B' would be the Volt, but I didn't think it counted, 'cause it has almost no relation to the Camaro besides it's bowtie.

I saw the Volt commercial in between NASCAR and it is a very nice looking idea. Very sporty and practical. I would consider it.
