$325,000 for a Mustang????

Even if I could afford it, no place for this old man...but my gawd, what an engineering exercise. Will they beat the GT3 around the "Ring? If I had to bet, I'd say no...too much handicap with a front engine design. But, we're waiting to see...

GT3RS performance for GT3RS money. Reminds me a bit of when the r35 skyline came around, 911 turbo performance, but it crept up to almost 911 turbo pricing.

Its still a cool car I wouldn't kick out of bed.

That Mustang and the new 1,000+ HP Corvette ZR1 will be some competition for the ring record. Beating Porsche is a goal of most all manufacturers, and a real challenge.

I know you had to send Ford a video about why they should select you as a customer.

I wonder if you had to buy 3 or 4 other Fords in order to get one, like the game Porsche plays with the 3RS.

Watched the vid, most suprised they moved tha transmission to the rear. That is a huge engineering undertaking

A Zl1 camaro with 1le track package and the big aero package gets you pretty close to this car in ethos for 65k slightly used

At least there are several other Fords I’d like to own. Not sure if I could pick 3 or 4 new Porsches I’d want.
