That being said I think it's pretty cool that ford is offering near Zr1 level of performance for half the price.
A ZR1 does 204mph.

Let's not kid ourselves, shall we?

My 28 year old 928S has run a 13.67 quarter mile (2.33 seconds faster than stock!), and if i sold it, i'd probably sell it for $5-6k. What does that say for todays new cars? If anything, maybe we should compare the original MSRP of her 930- and my 928 ($47,000 in my case), to the mustang. Might be a bit more educational.

But honestly, this is apples to oranges, completely.

Everyone knows an old tuner will wipe the floor with many new cars that cost far more money.

And i'd point out again: She never actually raced them.
