100 grand for a mustang...  I don't get it.  Spend that much money and you might as well get a lightly used ferrari or a ZR1 vette, either of which will go straight just about as fast but can also turn.

 so a zr1 will run mid 8's?  :devil
 i gotta correct myself. they'll only go high 8's, or high 9's depending on the supercharger. it is also a factory production car. namely the quickest factory production car.

The 500hp 4L sounds interesting though!  I wonder if you can just get the parts and slap them on your basic V6 stang?

  Hmm,yes it's a V6 mustang so lighter frontend,easier to balance and likely turn a corner or 2,then insurance would also be cheaper too!  Not like your going to call up the insurance carrier and say"I just bump the hp up in my stang does that raise the rates... :P


  Cap,100 grand for a nonstreet legal car might have you drooling,I'd rather roll around in the cash myself! :devil

Shoot, this heap won't touch the Camaro ZL1 for the price...  Not to mention the Corvette ZR1 will spank it all day long at the track...   Keep dreamin Ford.   :D

Now, if you want to compare the GT to the Vette, that's more of an equal match.   :cheers:

probably limited by the classes they run in. these are built for one thing, and one thing only.......they are factory dragsters. and they do it very well apparently.  :aok

 you're missing the point. this is a factory produced race car for super stock, ...i think that's the class.....

Both superchargers help the 5.4-liter V8 power out at a National Hot Rod Association-compliant 425 horsepower, though the boosted mills can be tweaked to output hundreds more ponies without much fuss. Owners of the 2010 model year Cobra Jet told us that the TVS unit will cruise through a quarter mile in under 10 seconds, while the Whipple version will cross the finish line in under nine seconds.

 from here....http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/04/ford-delivers-2012-mustang-cobra-jet-racers-lays-claim-to-quick/#continued

 and of course there's the 2013, which they'll be going after all the classes, not just superstock....

Cain't cure stoopid :)

Seriously, that car looks like a wet dream for a mustang enthusiast.  Unfortunately I think a lot of mustang enthusiasm on this BBS ends when the price goes much beyond invoice  :lol

I could see myself getting some sort of mustang for a fun car to drive when I don't need to haul around 2 little kids, but I don't see spending anywhere near 100 grand on a mustang of any type.  If I'm going to spend that much money, I'm going to get something bred for overall performance, and the mustang's center of gravity alone overshoots the mark by at least a foot.  For 100k I could get one heck of a nice M-series beemer, a forced induction mercedes, any number of jaguars, almost any non-turbo porsche, a Z06 vette with enough left over to add a blower... you get the picture.  Mustangs are nice but I don't know if this forum has many "100 grand nice" mustang enthusiasts  :O
