Money is all relative, to you 75K for a car might be a lot, but to me it might not be, so the price arguement is pointless.

Definitely a smart creed to race by.

Going fast on the cheap, IMO, is more impressive than throwing $ at it.

My TA could run an 8 tommorow and i would trade it for a new C6 in a second.

That race is local to me, and the mustang owner gave the TA the jump on the second race, not that it mattered.
The TA IS procharged.. i've seen it with my own 2 eyes..

How is the relationship between a $45k Mustang and a ~$20k F-body comparible to that of a V8 rear-wheel drive performance car and a 4-cylinder economy car?
Surely, you can't be making such a stupid comparison.

MMFF has a GT500 they are testing now, they are already at 11.70s@124 with nothing but a catback/tune/cold air/DR's/gears, the damn thing has the stock pulley still. It is in the latest issue, you guys should check it out. Next time it is gonna be pullied, might even do 130mph depending on the boost levels, not bad for a light bolt on mustang.
