Take it to the BMW test track in Germany and see how it doesn't measure up! Lol

$149,995 for the conversion.

I mean really, is the $5 going to sell anyone who has that kinda cash to spend on a car?

Shelby does badass work....if I had it, I'd get one in a heartbeat

Forget that.. I wouldn't give more than 40k for any Ford..

If I had the bones, I'd buy it. Hell, I've been lusting after the current V6 Shelby 'Stang for a bit now. I dunno if I'd really want 950 hp on the street though. That's trully a god awe-full amount.

I hate the idea of giving 40k for ANY vehicle. BUT, if you want a very nice car or truck, you're gonna pay very close to that if not more.

Don't get me wrong.. I like Ford... I just can't see paying a 150k adder for one..

Shelby can do things right. The question is did they mess with the handling at all because they should have. The live rear axle in the standard mustang and a few of the premium models is atrocious. Look its awesome that they made a super fast car with lots of horsepower but what does it matter if it can barely take a corner. And the only car ford makes that I'd sink a hundred grand or more into is a GT40 and thats a money pit for fuel.

I do love the look of the new Mustang. In fact, I've started my Mustang fund...$600 thus far! I've no need for a Shelby - a simple V6 with 200+ HP is just fine for my purposes. I'll keep socking away the cash and buy a 2011 in about 4 years time.

Is Roush still making super-Mustangs? They did a nice one on the old body style - love to see what they've come up with lately.

I remember driving my friend's '69 GT350. What a nice car that was. Maroon with Gold stripes. He bought it for 6K, and sold it for 14K in 1980. Worth quite a bit more now...

I am by no means a Mustang fan boi, but I beg to differ on the live axle comment. Check track time of the new Camaro SS and the Mustang Boss 302 laguna Seca. Both have similar HP and TQ. The 'Stang has live axle, and the Maro has IRS. The B302 will smoke the SS in the twistys.

I dunno what Roush is doing with the new 'stangs. I'm positive they are doing something, but I was never a fan or the Roush 'Stangs. Kinda like the SLP Camaros imho.
