I am in Virginia. The car was purchased in Kenesaw, Nebraska and is being built in Hastings, Nebraska. Not only was the car cheaper than anything I could have bought locally, but labor is something like 1/3 the cost per hour.

Wow! Your car is being built out in the middle of nowhere! Yes, labor would definitely be cheaper... out there, they probably would have just traded you their work for a color tv! Just kidding..
That's about 3 hours west of Omaha, and I only know of dirt oval tracks out there. There is a 2.2 mile road course about 30 minutes south of Omaha called MidAmerica Motorplex. Is that where they'll test it?
Since I'm so close, and you'll probably need an unbiased driver....

Motorsport Park Hastings.Brand new 2.1 mile track fully paved. Possibly the finest track in the Midwest.

Paleoc,
how much will this transformation cost you total, with parts, paint, and labor included? i have been considering doing the take-off gt bumpers route, and while they cs6 transformation would be MUCH more expensive, it might just be worth it to start saving up and look to do this a few years down the road.

not to take the wind out of your sails, but for that amount of money in price difference, you could have bought a GT to begin with...I guess it would be cool from the stealth factor if you kept your V6 looking like a stock V6...

When are some of you going to get it thru your heads ..... a "GT" is not everyones dream/destination car, I love all mustangs period! but the Mustang GT isa different car than the Mustang "v6", just like the Cobras are different than GT's just like "Ford GT's" are different than Mustang GT's.
I am not even getting into technical weight/ distro issues or majorsuspenssion overhauling a cs6 has over a GT, but can't you even see that owning a badged production car like the CS6 is not only unique, it is a piece of history in the making or even an future investment?
If you have a six because you couldn't afford a GT, well then I am trully sorry that you didn't get what you really wanted, but please leave the wind in our sails, because there are "a lot of us"who have "chosen" to have a sixer by design.
