hey brotha u should do some research on serious super cars made right here in america.
I like my mustang but you're living under a rock if you think that any domestic car can hold a candle to the quality of any exotic car manufacturer. America doesn't make the best cars anymore (if we ever did) 
if I ever came into a lot of money there's no domestic I'd buy over something like a BMW, Benz, Porsche, Ferrari, etc.

is there another "american supercar"? I remember seeing the Vectors at exotic car dealerships when they were new. they were 100% american built and from a distance outside the showroom you could see the horrible fit of interior panels. for the $400,000 they were asking it was embarrassing.
if I had mad loot the only american stuff I'd get off the top of my head would be custom stuff like from Chip Foose or Troy Trepanier.

looks are subjective but take both to the track straight off the showroom floor bone stock and they'll be very close in the 1/4 mile and the S will rape it on a road course. my stang at PBIR went 13.9 @ 100.5, my friend's bone stock S went 13.9 @ 100 at PBIR with a dying clutch.

in a straight line sure, but I'm not going to pay $80,000 for a $40,000 GT500 with a Kenne Bell blower, the blower ins't $40,000
go on Top Gear's power lap list, there's 23 cars higher than the flagship Ford GT on the list, only one is a domestic, the ZR1, and 18 cars are higher than it on the list. lol, the GT500 was slower than the Focus RS I'm sure the 725hp supersnake would have been a little faster than the GT500 but not much, stock that power won't go to the ground and the power won't help in the turns.
