if you really wanted to stir it up how about one with only cars between
say 30,000 and say 45,000. which would be low to high end for a new 370.
if my math is right that throws out the two mustangs in that article right off..

apples to apples as such.

I've seen several people get the Boss for right at MSRP on a Mustang forum. Finding a GT500 under $50K? not likely.

With the new gt500 coming out, the prices for the '12 will drop a good bit.

I got mine new at MSRP. At the time, 2012 GT500 was marked up to 54k. With that logic, technically Boss is number 1 on that list now

One thing's for sure, it doesn't get anywhere near as much attention as my Nismo did.

that article is fluff. its just filler for the rest of the Forbes mag. For what its worth, I did not read the article, I just looked at the pics.

Base 2012 Vette - $49600, not on the list.
Challenger on the list twice? Why weren't both Z models on the list?
Chrysler 300???? seriously, not even 300C or 300C SRT8?
Power to weight ratio: How about a Miata, or MazdaSpeed3?


OKay, I read the article. I was better off looking at the pics.
