That's why the GT500KTR model with Kenne Bell supercharger puts down 650+ RWHP off the showroom floor. Very rare car to find and wouldn't mind owning one, however, my next one is A 2008 Z06 Corvette, due the the improved driveline over the 06-07 year models and the lack of cash to buy a newer one.

Not bad, still getting used to the new bodystyle.

Remember, as gearheads we look at the output and think "I could easily make much more power for way less $$", but they are low # limited edition cars, just like Saleens, Super Snakes, ZL1s, etc. It all depends on the approach and interests of the buyer. If they wasn't the demand, they wouldn't build them!

I already gave one of those the tail lights that was running around Sarasota. Nice looking car though.

LOL...a regular Mustang GT weighs 3500-3600lbs, it does have an aluminum block.

My GT500 weighs 3900lb + driver, but at least it has a blower to push around all that weight, the same can not be said for the Camaro.

I beat one of those in my GTO. Way too slow for the money you pay.
