used is not bad at all, man used is good as long as its in good condition it saves money right? I love mustangs, and I don't like the way camaro's look at all. But Im a car guy, not a Ford only guy so I recognize the vette for what it is. But I respect you being a Ford guy man completly. Im on my second Mustang, but to be completely honest I'd by a new C6 over a Shelby in a heartbeat.

Yeah a Shelby is definetly more rare, and if I were to have a car collection it'd definetly be in there. But if I had to choose one for a DD I'd take the vette all day. N/A power is where it's at. If you can put down the same amount of power with an N/A motor and the next guy is pushing with boost you've got him all day long. Also some food for thought is imagine a C6 with a callaway supercharger? I've seen a Z06 with a paxton at a local car meet we have here every friday and the guy always has dynosheet on the windshield it dyno's at 900 HP, yeah it's to the crank so it's prolly pushing high 800 rwhp....it'd be real hard to get a mustang to do that

well yeah see around $3k used for everything to be in your car installed and running. I'd personally never drop thousands and thousands of dollars into my stang. I love it don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day it's still a Ford that was $25k retail...and now worth $5k or less....I wouldn't put more into the car then it's worth. I like it with just bolt ons, maybe a PI swap, headers, lowering springs and rims...but that's the extent I will prolly take mine to. If I want serious performance man I'll buy a C5 vette for like $12k used throw on a few bolt on's and call it a day.
