$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.

man that's a lot of dough just to slide sideways over a curb into a crowd on a city street.

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.
