the black with red accents looks like shit. How much is that car going to rape people before ADM is added?

Just stay away from Palmetto, and you won't have to see an ADM. That place doesn't even use lube when they ass rape you on the buyer's order.

Agreed.


"an upgraded clutch, short-throw shifter, adjustable suspension, improved brakes and a more potent version of the 5.0-liter V8 that produces 440 horsepower and 380 lb-ft torque thanks to a new intake and more aggressive camshafts."

So it has:
- Upgraded clutch
- SSK
- Adjustable struts/shocks
- Improved brakes (probably just pad compounds.. not caliper upgrade)
- Intake
- Cams

You can buy (better mods) and install all of that bullshit yourself, save a lot of coin, and not have a hideous fucking paint job.

I agree the black one was ugly, but I thought the orange one looked good. As far as the price goes. Ya Im sure you could mod a gt yourself cheaper, but would you still keep the waranty? And it still would not be a BOSS302. Your paying for a lot more than just the mods.

Yeah..you're paying for that fucking paint job.:hysterical:

Alright-alright.. I'll stop.

There were a few pictures of some other colors (not racial) in that thread. The blue one looked good.

If it was 5K over a GT..yeah..wouldn't be a bad deal. It does have some good aero on it. If they are wanting 7-8K over a GT...meh.

With all this talk about handling, when the hell are we ever going to see a mustang/cobra/shelby/boss post times on the 'ring? I remember the commercial with the GT500 racing around on the autobahn. You're gonna bring that shit over there for a commercial and not rent some time at the 'ring?:confused:

Will have to wait and see it in person at the track. Even then, I think a Shelby wins out.

Maybe but the Shelby will succumb to heat soak and be down on power after lap one.

I hate to admit it, but the Laguna Seca is growing on me. (That's the black/red one, for the uninitiated)

Thats the most ricerish one imo. I should call you Juan than. :D

The paint may not be fashionable but you have to admit its a pretty bad ass factory track car.

its a pretty bad ass factory track car.

That's a big part of it. I did some reading about it, over the last few days, and the Laguna Seca edition is absolute bad-assery. I can overlook some funky paint. Hell, just look at the tore-up finish on my own car. LOL
