Ya know I just don't see myself buying a Mustang if I were to spend that amount of money.... Image, to me, is just as important as speed, and most of the population will not recognize a Shelby over a regular Mustang. Its all just Mustangs to them. They want to see a Viper, Porsche, or Corvette among other things, and if I had that money I just dont see a Mustang in my future.

EDIT: I guess I forgot to point out how awesome it was.. If I could afford it, I'd definately consider dropping $50K on the GT500 + SS upgrade, but thats probably the ceiling price for meimo.

yeah, it seams like they want to make a few and get the most $. However, the parts are gonna be for sale, to upgrade yourself, im sure it will be expensive

as much as i would love cruising around in a super snake, i have to agree that i wouldn't spend the cash on one. i LOVE my mustang more than any other car i have ever driven, but if i'm dropping that kind of dough, i'm just not picking up a gt500. [:-]

if i had the money to blow on anything that would be it. but you could have a GT with the same hp for less money
