sexy car but i cant get behind all the plastic on the body

I'm sure it's a blast to drive, but I hate the way it looks. I'd much prefer a regular GT (or a GT500, obviously)

Am I reading that right $43K?

True, but it is a higher output 5.0 versus that offered in a standard GT, which is what Payso is getting at.

5.0 - 412hp / 390tq
5.0 hi-po - 444hp - 380tq

Love these cars. I still prefer the looks of the 05-09, but I'm sure this body style will grow on me like they always do.

This is why it's $43k.

The target M3 that it crushes starts at $59k.

As automotive resurrections go, this is a knockout that venerates the original Boss while embarrassing it objectively and subjectively in every meaningful measure. What this is, is the best Mustang ever.

Highs: One of the most endearing V-8s on the planet, steering that BMW would admire, suspension that sticks like Krazy Glue.

Still don't like the wheels or assorted paint jobs.

I guess I would rather buy a 11 with a 5.0 stripped a bit, and put a whipple on it with some suspension components and my own wheels for 40k and still have my warrenty and still beat a M3..

43K just seems very steep!
