The car wasnt even broke in yet thats impressive. You make fun of the mustang while it still has better interior then your car thats just plain stupid? Big numbers equate to low 1/4 times. It would be far more comparable to compare the GTO to the GT500 both have back seats weigh about the same. Well the fighter jet costs as much as the Lambo Murci and out performs it in every aspect even though they are not even close to being in the sam league neither is the Corvette and the GT500. The GT500 walks the vette in 1/4 and trap speed proven by FF so who the **** cares. I didnt ask what your trans am was purchased for either.

If I had the money I sure would. 40 grand for a 500hp piece of history designed by Mr. Shelby himself

it should atleast be better than the old 03/04s (nice car)... it just isnt, bottom line, quarter mile may be better but it isnt a better car

and you cant compare the gto and the gt500 they are completely different pricetags
and where the hell are you getting this fighter jet analogy? cuz it sucks! I hate to break it to ya but a fighter jet doesnt cost 300k jackass
i was pointing out what my t/a costs because thats the level of car i could purchase at 17k... it should be nowhere near that of the gt500

It's a great concept..I guess. Blower/small block...who could guess it would make power? It's in a SUPER bad package and it's WAY overpriced. I don't care who designed it. Just cause some old mans name is on it doesn't mean it's great....
Take the same design and put it in a much smaller/lighter vehicle and knock $15k off the price, then you have a winner. Of course, it keeps getting harder and harder to fit a motor the size of a big block in a little car....maybe Ford should go back to ONE cam and pushrods...? But then I don't guess they could make any power? God knows large cubes pushrod motors don't respond to FI..
