HA cant actually get a gt500 for less than 50 unless you know some one. cuz right off the bat you have delivery charge of almost 800. plus mark ups and options. lol not that it matters. i read that the other day tho, i was happy we are at the top.

Just wait for the new ZL1 and GT500 to be put on that list. Those will be the top 2 spots then, with the GT500 on the top of the list still...but nevermind because both of them are over $50k. But barely.

I love Mustangs.

Wish I could buy a new 5.0 or 07-09 GT500!

That headline is completely misleading - it should be the 10 cars with the most horsepower under $50,000. Just because a car has higher horsepower doesn't mean its faster, given that many cars are electronically limited nowadays.

Actually the Boss 302 Mustang had less horsepower than the Chrysler, the Challenger, and the Charger yet it still claimed the number 2 spot so I'm sure they factored in other variables to what makes the car fast other than its horsepower.

It clearly states they do HP/Weight ratio.

I thought it was 'fair enough'
