Oh and to go along with this thread I saw on svtp some test videos of these cars.... Apparently the test cars was bone stock down to the factory rubber but had cages in them. Test drivers for all diffenent magazines got to run the cars hot lap after hot lap and evan smith got in the car on the 30th hot lap pass and pulled an 11.8@123 best pass of the day 11.81@124.8 with the launch control

That's cool and all that its bone stock (except the rollcage) but I really want to see what one does with slicks or DR's.

I wish I was rich, then I'd have taken this car to the strip on DRs the Friday evening I got it and tried to put up something ridiculous.

Loads of hating going on between the GT500 crowd and another high performing Pony,,,err...now Super Car crew.

I couldn't imagine putting down 18K and still having a $700 payment.

Personally if I was set on a Mustang I'd get an early Gt500, save a lottt on the payment. Then sink that 18K into the motor/trans/turbo set up. Then have enough money for tires. haha..

Put down 13, goal was 17-20K, but the car came much sooner than expected.
