I bought too soon

For a mere $21K more than I paid...a great Q ship!

Bring $21K to your local speed shop, I bet you can get something even hotter. But, why? You want to die in a tree trunk?

I'd rather spend $21K in a speed shop than on a house painting job...

Most of the Roush specials are striped, spoilered, decals galore...I really like the looks of this one. Oh well, like I said, I bought too soon.

The only Mustang I would consider would be the Roush. And I agree with Paul, I'd want it to be a little less "loud" than most of them are.

If you look at what goes into the Roush, I think only the frame is stock from Ford. I also think it is the only Mustang with an independent rear.

Such a great-looking car. Seems like a lot for the supercharger and whatever else(?)

That looks like fun. I test drove the 2010 GT earlier this week. It was sort of weird. I don't know how they can make a car feel so big on the outside and so feel so small on the inside. With that new hood the visibility was a little odd. I wonder how it compares to the 2004-2009 model. I could easily see any of them as a ticket magnet. It was too much fun to just punch the gas and let it rip.

What kind of idiot would pay $50,000 for a new Mustang?

Buy a factory stock GT, and for $10k in speed shop work it would destroy any mustang that Roush or anyone else sells for tens of thousands less.

That aint just a Mustang. For the same money personally I would buy a 996 GT3 instead, but you hate 911s also.

I'd rather have the 911 too.

I don't hate mustangs, i just think they're too common. Even still, there is no way i'd ever pay $50k for a new mustang. That's just nuts.
