Meet the $90,000 Mustang

[theogt]

Mustangs are awesome. Definitely, my favorite car. One day, I hope to have, either, an Audi or Mustang GT.

What are you, 12?

 

[Sarge]

Gimme a 1955 Chevy any day.

Really a head-scratcher as to why this 'stang is going for that much other than the limited number. It's for the Jay Leno's and collectors of the world.

Much rather have the Z06.

The Z06 is a helluva ride. If you've driven one, you know why. Incredible, mind boggling power, and it handles like a dream.

The mustang........not so much. As an investment, the Z06 will hold its value much more than the mustang as well.

I would rather have a Fifty Thousand dollar F-250 Cabellas edition.

I'm not a big car person. I have a few old muscle cars that I hold special, but there are very few high end cars that I really like. If I had a choice that someone would give me one for free (I would never spend that much money on a car) I would take the Ford GT. I'm not fully clear why I want one, but I saw one (red with white stripe, like in the pic below) driving down Greenwich Ave in Greenwich, CT. Since then, that is the only car I would want that cost in excess of $100k

the newer GT is crap, the engine is a pos. now if you could get one from the 60's (believe it was the 60's) when it was tearing up the leman's race series then hell yeah i'd jump on that. thats a beast of a car

Eh? The Ford GT (550HP, 0-60 3.3 sec, 0-100 7.4 sec, top speed of only 205mph because it IS electronically limited) is the fastest production American car on the planet. It blows the doors off of Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo. It will take out the Corvette Z06 (505HP) in the 1/4 mile AND at top end speed. You are also aware that todays Ford GT40 (also 205-207mph) was a straight line long distance speed demon. The new Ford GT is a super sports car meant to be driven. That can't be side about the GT40.

btw, they say without being electronically limited in speed, the Ford GT would probably approach 230mph. Hell on wheels! :laugh2:

[Route 66]

That's not the Z06 with the 505 hp.

Not entirely true. Several magazines have seen the opposite.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Garbage

 

[YosemiteSam]

You would be wrong.

Just so you know. The Corvette Z06 (all Z06) have 505HP, 0-60 in 3.7 sec, 0-100 in 7.9 secs, is electronically limited to 198mph and can reach a absolute top speed of 206mph with the speed governor removed. I posted the stats of the Ford GT above. It can match everything the Z06 has to offer with its governor in place and blow it's doors off without it pacing around 230mph with the governor removed! As noted, faster top speed AND faster 1/4 mile. What you heard was Chevy lovers / Ford haters. (Ford has A LOT of haters out there)

The only way a Z06 beats the Ford GT is if the Ford remains stock & regulated AND the Z06 is modified.

When Ford recreated the GT, its point was to not only create the fastest production American car, but to also compete for being the best all around high end *production* super sports car.

If I had 90 grand to spend on a car, a Mustang would be nowhere near the top of the list.

I agree, but if I were to get one. I think I would go with an original Shelby GT500. Though the 2010 Shelby GT500 looks like a real beast. Ford definitely refined it from the 2009 model. At around $46K looks like a far better deal than spending $90k on what these guys are offering. Gotta love the 510hp and multiple modes of operation. It's a true return to muscle cars era. Not just super sports cars like Ferrari, Porche, Lamborgini, Viper, Ford GT, and the like.

ok but at a 150000 tag your GT is 80k more then my z06 and if you wanted to play the near hp near price tag you'd compare the Zr1 to the GT as they are nearest and if you want to rely on youtube for a crediable source of who'd win in a race then;

.3 seconds in a race translate to less then a foot. so there goes you "blow the doors" theory. and Given the driver and type of weather these cars will battle back and forth on a 1/4 mile. and you best the vette

 

[Concord]

Just give me my Vette.

 

[YosemiteSam]

I'm not relying on Youtube. It's a FACT. Look it up. I just happen to find the video of the GT whipping the Z06.

ConcordCowboy, that is one ugly *** vette!

your the one trying to prove me wrong. your trying to change my stance you prove me wrong you post the facts that .3 seconds will "blow the doors" off the compitition and at 195-205 there is no difference the rate at which you are traveling is so fast it its like going from 1.1 mph to 1.2

and that was a concept done up for the transformers movie

 

[YosemiteSam]

Yes.

You're just pissed off. Accept the loss and move on.
