I'm pushing 380 BHP with less than 3K worth of mods from forum members, STILL way less investment than the Mustang, and being lighter than the Stang shows up on all parts of the street and track. You just need to make your decision based on which forum you like better, and you alone must make that call.

How do you figure that is less investment than a mustang?

I think he's talking MSRP vs. the GT500 now that I think about it.

I think mustang 5.0 is competitive with the Z for pricing no?

Either way, I am going to ge tthe Z I have decided. Is it practical for where I live? absolutly not. Am I doing something mildly stupid? Definitly. DO I care if others judge me or what they think about this?

**** NO!!!

That said I only have to make it through 1 maybe 1.5 winters before I can buy a decent 4wd beater for winter driving.
