RE: 800 rwhp GT500!
Yea a GT500 at the prices now is stupid, unless your an avid mustang fan or have the money. Otherwise, if your looking for the performance, there are many others that will do thejob better.
But they do look nice...

Termies can get into the 600-1000 HP range no problem with similar mods! Just inc the Boost!

Lastest issue of MM&FF has a GT500(Grabber Orange one) pushing 800rwhp with no internal mods. Of course a 2.8L Kenne-Bell S/C, full exhaust, CAI, and a Ford GT T.B. helped, but wow! Have any Termies posted this type of power with such mods? Can't wait to see if they'll run it at the track.........maybe low 9's(with proper suspension/tires of course)?

I am getting ready to buy an 07 Mustang for a daily driver to complement my 02 Viper for Spring/Summer/Fall driving. I could afford to buy the GT 500 but two things turn me off to it. They don't offer it as an automatic which is a must for a daily driver. (One hand on steering wheel, the other hand on Starbucks Coffee). Plus I have the Viper in Stick so I get all my excitement banging gears with the beast.
For those who got stupid and paid more than MSRP for a GT 500, you got owned by the dealer big time. If you were all patient the prices would of dropped below msrp and you could of gotten a deal.

I don't think it would be in the 9's, but closer to mid 10's. Don't foget the weight of the car to hp ratio is all important. Then their is the greatest problem of all: Getting the power to the pavement!
800rwhp on a 3500lb car will get into the 9's with a great driver, w/ slicks. (at least for a Viper). Mustangs with smaller tires = less traction, Mustangs weigh a bit more too. Cut out the wheel well and put some 14" wide slicks on it and you will be there!

Look at who I ran into today. The car is even better in person. Sounds so nice going down the street.

To say people got owned and to call them stupid is just plain stupid. Cars will bring what they will bring in a given market. Mystichrome Cobras brought a premium around here, as do LS7 Z06's, Vipers, etc etc. It is all about supply and demand. There is not a large supply of GT500's around here and the demand is high, so dealerships are getting 15-20K over MSRP...and are selling EVERY-SINGLE-ONE.
No, not everyone can afford that (including me), but I don't **** and moan in my Cherrios because of that. Instead, I smile for those that can and give the few on the streets I have seen a big thumbs up! Besides, I know that not everyone can afford a Mustang GT either. Oh wait, maybe those of us that paid invoice should have held out and hoped for a bigger rebate than the $1,000 one....
