Too bad it will be so expensive. That is one new American car that I might consider.

Pure beast and a great crowd pleaser, I'm sure. But kind like having a 14" penis..what are you going to do with it? Track only?

Well, now that you've asked me to join in the conversation....

There are plenty of cars out there which are essentially track-only cars. OK, maybe not plenty, but all of Porsche's GT series of hero cars. The exotic supercars like Bugattis, Paganis, Konigseggs. Even the more pedestrian Lambos, McLarens, Ferraris and Corvettes. All cars that you could never/rarely use to their full potential on public roadways.

I'm curious as to what (in terms of hardware or development costs) would justify a car $200K+ more than the rest of the Mustang lineup. If a regular Mustang can cost $30-60K, why does this one cost several hundred thousand dollars?

Maybe the fastest around the 'ring...but best ever? In my opinion, no...too much for highway & street driving. Sure is a crowd pleaser, though.

(edit) Everybody has their own list for "best ever"...mine includes a car that can take you 500 miles over public roads swiftly & comfortably, then when arriving at your destination and parking, the driver being rested enough to enjoy a nice dinner. I don't know that this GTD could accomplish that.

Looks to me like it is about as much a "Mustang" as is the NASCAR "Mustang".
