Default The Iacocca Mustang

I want one of these. But at roughly $100,000, no way.

To me it's not worth the price,But then again I probably would have also passed on a 1968 Shelby GT500KR thinking it was to expensive for it's time.....

100K!?!? Only 400hp out of the supercharged high-end one? Even if I did have the money, I'd pass. I'd rather get a Lexus IS-F(I'm also a Toyota fan) with 416hp N/A for about 65K. Then I'd have a fast, factory car that can actually go around a corner.

But, I digress. It's a great looking car, but soo not worth it no matter what trim level it is.

As I understand it, it is more than a trim level. The body has been entirely replaced with composite.

Either way, compared to other 100 grand cars, that thing's all show not enough go. It's just not worth the price no matter what they've done to it. For about the same, or way less you could get an IS-F, a Nissan GTR, a BMW M3, a Jag XKR, a Z06, a Viper, hell...the Challenger! All of which could run circles around that Iacocca when it comes to price, performance, and to a degree, looks.

Whatever, that's all I have to say about that.

If given the choice, I'd rather have a regular GT and free pizza for life.

That is cool, but I agree with Carlos.
