I think 40 grand for a new F Body in the next few years is an ok price. I remember paying 15 grand for a brand new mustang GT in 93. Ten years later they were almost 25. That is ~60% hike in price over 1 decade. If the the F body was to come out in another 4 years, being gone for only 7 years, that would be a comparible hike.

Your comments don't even make sense.
True, but did you get a warranty with your cam and nitrous???

The funny thing is, that statement isn't true. While Ford states they make 550hp at the fly, the are dynoing that to the rear wheels . Also, I wouldn't believe that he even had a car if you read back
