Wow? a 50k mustang? what a rip. the Pontiac GTO has the same 0-60 time with 100 less horsepower and since it does have an independent rear suspension it can actually go around corners unlike the solid rear axel mustang, way to skimp ford. even though the gto is out of production, the G8 is around, even though it is a bit slower it does have 4 doors and it handles better. If you really need more power than the 30k GT version has you can wait around for the new GXP version which should be able to keep up with the GT500. and what's with the curb weight on this thing, i mean it is nearly 4000 pounds, i mean come on the original weighed under 3,300 pounds. Are we going backwards in technology? sorry ford fans but looks like all you are getting here are the looks.

Its not that great. I would rather have the ROUSH edition mustang insted. But then again, I would buy a 370Z and upgrade it before buying one one of these.

The GT500KR is my favorite 'Stang, as far as I can tell from ignoring the price and focusing on looks. I especially like it in black with two matte-black racing stripes down the middle.

You can see a face on some cars, some have got a look of a silly-face and some some other have this blazing look like this one... It says BITE ME everytime it passes a car.. Nice car.. Like BMW M-series..Z4 M Roadster is a nice one :D
