12.2 is a fair guess for the car. I didn't say it would be as fast, I said it would be close. A viper will run high 11s so you figure once the markup is gone the GT500 will be half the price of the viper and at worse case only a half a second slower.

It will be a bargain, and with the blower and all easy to modify for more power. But of course, its about a year or more from production. By then I guess the Viper will have 550-564 HP. they have to do something. The ZO6 is faster (and cheaper). What they need to do is put it on a diet and lose 300-350 lbs, but that is REALLYU expensive to do. Upping compression, porting it a bit, that's a lot cheaper, and of course Hennessey has proven you can get a ot more power out of that motor. I'm guessing 565 within a year, 550 won't be enough. .

I guess that dollar for dollar it will be hard to beat the performance of the new GT500 even with the dealer markup. $40,000+ for a Mustang that will keep up with z06's and vipers and absolutely spank them with a little mod(pulley, exhaust, etc) isn't really that bad. I guess I just never thought I'd see the day when an 05 GT with nothing more than stripes would cost as much as an 03 Cobra when they first came out and now the GT500 is going to be even further out of the average joe's price range.

i cant see spending that much for a gt w/ a stripe and a bigger engine. Id rather have an older viper
Me either. Look at the 65-70 Shelby's. Just Mustangs with stripes and some engine work that are worth nothing more than any other 65-70 Mustang these days...
wrong. shelby's now a days are worth WAY more than regular 65-70 mustangs. you wana buy a really nice 67 gt500, better have at least 150k.
Dude, I was being facetious... that is the reason for the .
At least the gt500 has back seats! and a z06 is closer to $81K with the dealer mark up! that's close to double the price!
Yeah, things to consider. I bought my Porsche Carrera over several other choices I was looking at just because I wanted to have a back seat, even if no one will ever ride back there.
The new ZO6 is a different car entirely than the GT500 (so is the Vioper for that matter) pure sports car, no back seat and all.
The GT500 will be a great car, can't wait to see one.

Yeah the GT500 is not in the same class as a Viper or a vette. I would love to have one though. Maybe after the markup goes away I will consider getting one.
Aren't they all spoken for? Like..a huge waiting list of people already in line with the money
Yeah, I was thinking of getting like a 2008 or 2009 model year. I will never get ahold of a 2007. I don't want to pay 60k for a Mustang anyway. I will pay the 40k.
