There's $6100 right there.
Not a whole lot of options, but pricey ones.

A taller gear ratio (3.31 or 3.15) will not limit the power you put to the ground, however it will decrease the accelleration of the car. A car with 3.73s or 4.10s will be able to accellerate harder, due to the shorter gearing.
Taller tires will have the effect of making your gear ratio taller, essentially reducing the acellerative (is that a real word?) ability. Thus the 3.15s plus the 19in wheels will more than likely make your car slower to accellerate than say a car equipped with 3.55s and 18in wheels.
I have 3.31s in my car and my dad had 3.55s... on the highway at 70 mph I'm at around 1900 rpms and he's around 2100rpms. But prior to my supercharger install, I had better gas mileage than he did.

I'm hoping it kicks the **** out of the Camaro as well. it's going to be interesting to see how they compare.

40.2K for a Mustang GT. Holy cow. I remember when they were half that fully loaded.
I now kind of hate to think about what a new Boss 302 would cost if they make one for 2012. The idea to buy a used 2010 Shelby GT500 (for < 40K I hope - I think that's possible in 2 years or less) sure sounds real good right now.
If it were me, I'd drop the auto and get the Brembos instead.

Hmm, that's a good point.
I hate to see how they all have to have the California emissions "package." I know I'd perform the Cali emissions delete.
