how can 5th be @ 213mph if the top speed is 173?

Most magazines list the GT 500 as a serious competitor to the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. The only area which the GT 500 lacks is the quarter mile, with Ferrari, Lamborghini and the high-end Porsche Carrera at about 11-11.3 seconds on the 1/4 mile. I don't know where that $37,000 price came up from, but you're thinking about the regular 2005 Ford Mustang. Prices list the GT 500 at about $150,000.

Wow. Who gives a shit? You're never going to have a car as good or even remotely close to being as good as that and you're bitching about the symbol placement?

Where did you get the $150k price tag for the Shelby GT-500 from?? I just had my name placed on the waiting list at the dealership today for that car and it's going to cost me about $40k to play in the same league as the 'vette boys. You may be thinking of the Cobra concept car. I'll post pics either tomorrow or the following day from the show.
