Doesn't happen really. The 5.0 and Shelby are both amazing cars for their price range.

It does happen, not all the time obviously, but for true car enthusiasts with a bit of $$$, they/we will always be looking at a good performing car and debating purchasing it regardless of price so long as it is still w/in the buyer's price range. (sadly, no new lambos or ferrrari's for me).

Yeah, I said "doesn't happen really" speaking and generalizing the average consumer...I mean, if I could really afford the Shelby and I loved mustangs I probably wouldn't buy a 5.0.

Well some people might put the price difference into aftermarket parts. I know plenty people thought about a 370tt and compared it to a slightly used GTR. The biggest trend the average consumer follows is skipping performance cars for a comfy boring fuel sipping commuter.

Yeah well if she's that worried she could cut her food portions in half and feed a small thridworld country. And put the smokes away, I thought that was the 90s "tell everyone how to live their life" movement.

Just a CAI/Tune should get you to around 400-410.

I think more people cross shop price ranges more than you'd expect.

so my dad and my brother went in today and ordered a 2013 Mustang GT.. my dad just happened to call on the first day the ordering window was open for them...

they got it pretty loaded everything but the glass top and that shaker 1K watt stereo or whatever it is......so recaro seats brembo brakes HID lights NAV 19" wheels... and this is the part i was surprised on they got the dealer to agree to $500 over invoice .... should be here mid april he told them

pricing wasnt out but looking at the similar equipped 2012... the car is gonna run low 40's so invoice is around 38-39 ish... my brother has a 05 mustang now that should trade in for 11-12K...

all in all not a bad deal i think for 420hp car.... i cant wait to try out that drag race timer thing in the dash
