who gives a ****. you can't compare a 42K car to a 72K car.

 

the guy in the video payed 65k for his Steeda GT500

 

im talking about a regular gt500 and you can get them for 42K.

and he just said "gt500"

 

so whats your point they are both 500hp cars from the factory

 

i was kidding but it is unbelievable the blinders that some people have. they must live in a shoulder wide hallway their entire lives.

 

I can't help but laugh at that. I don't understand why someone would pay $65k for a Mustang when it is outdone in every aspect by a C6 vette for $20k less. I love the 03-04 Cobra's, especially at their price point, but the new GT500 is a bit of a dissappointment.

 

well with that logic you get 500hp either way and the gt500 is 30K less. stupid.

and with 30K you could smoke a z06 for way less.

and i agree. i think the termi's are a better deal.

 

yea he turned down a Black LS3 C6 for the GT500

 

In my mind he's a fool, but some people just like Mustangs.

 

yea same here but i think if you paying for it it comes down to whatever satisfies you. I would take the LS3 but i do know the GT500 is fun as hell to drive

 

The "steeda" treatment is mainly cosmetic and suspension. I'm sure that Steeda 500 will give most anything in it's price range (and a lot of cars out of it's price range) a run for it's money.

The 500 was never meant to compete with the Z06, although it can easily in a straight line with a modest investment. Drag racing and track racing are blurred with the Steeda 500. You have a car that's capable of 9 second runs with little mods but dump money into suspension and cosmetics. They're taking the "live-axle" drag car and trying to turn it into a track terror. It can be done but you're working against what the car was originally made for.

With that said, "IF" I had $40-50k to spend I would make a beeline for the nearest dealership and get a new Vette, personally.

 

dont call it a termi it sounds so gay

 

mustangs are not built to compete with vettes

 

True, on a track the GT500 can't compete with a corvette. Drag, which seems to be the "preferred" yardstick on this site is a different matter...

 

They apparently aren't built to compete with anything since they are slow and ugly.

 

Ooops, typo. Thanks for pointing that out.

looking at it without GM colored glasses on, I'm not sure why you think Ford built the new Mustang to compete with anyone. Gm and Chysler weren't offering a car in the same segment. It was because of the lack of a direct competitor that led people to begin to compare the Mustang to the Corvette. Two different cars engineered and built for two different purposes.

I can't understand why someone would pay $65K for a GT500, either. But as for why they wouldn't choose a Corvette over the car even if the price were the same, maybe it's because the person buying the Mustang wanted the ability to have more than one passenger yet still have a car that performs very well. Or maybe, just maybe, while appreciating its performance, not everyone's heart races at the thought of owning a Corvette.

 

I cant stand it when people do that ****-- make a long pause between the 1st and 2nd honk and then do the 3rd honk real quick after the second honk.

which one of you did that **** in the vid on the last race?

 

he honked, and that seems really common with anyone i have raced

 

I never honk. Why in the world would you honk three times as if to
say..."Hey everybody! Look over here...we are about to race!"

I give everyone the hit. They can go when they are ready.

 

I'm going to give you a clue : 00' Cobra R 5.4 Dohc made 385/385 H.P/LB-FT, N/A from 330 cid displacement. This was under-rated just as the 03/04 supercharged Cobra's 390/390 rating was. Just imagine what they could do with 427 cid and some compression like the LS7 has ????!!!!! Why they didn't use this engine to kill the forced induction excuse, i have no idea but the potential was there . The funny thing is if a Porsche 911 Turbo outruns me, i don't say " YOU HAVE TWIN TURBO'S, NO FAIR " . It is what it is end of story run what you brung .
