I hit about $37,500. I guess I'll have to keep the SC for now.
I really do like the 'Stang's new styling though. The stock version is nice, but when you look at the pic that's floating around of the yellow one with the aftermarket hood, the different front bumper cover and chin spoiler/splitter, and the bigger wheels, etc., man, does that car look awesome or what!
...But I agree, for the same or less money you could be driving an '04 Cobra which IMO would be more fun to take to the track.
I might have to see if Eastgate Ford has a new GT available for a test drive. I'd just like to take one for a drive. I hear that Ford finally built a Mustang that is a whole package... Good power, good handling, good braking, nice interior, etc.! I'm really curious to see if there will be an aftermarket following for the new 4.0L SOHC V6 motor that is coming in the base coupe. I've toyed with the idea of doing a swap like that into an SC for the sake of being able to run a supercharger with an integral air-water IC similar in design to the 'Stang Cobra and the Lightning. Having that lifter valley open for hardware really opens up some possibilities without having to put some high-rise cowl hood on the SC. ...I'm just not sure that the mill can support the kind of HP/TQ that we would need to make in order to move our heavy cars as well or better than a done up, SC'd 3.8L OHV motor can.
Anyway, I didn't mean to get off topic. The new 'Stang is very nice to look at!
Cheers,
Sean
