    You may not be able to get a car that makes 1000HP for $200k but you can probably find faster ones.

    I bet a 911 Turbo S would outrun it, and I bet a lot of similarly priced exotics would beat it around the track. That is just my guess though, and I would be curious to see the actual result.

    Maybe it's just me but IMO there is nothing impressive about taking a mediocre car, put insane HP in it, and selling it for the price of an exotic. I'd still like to drive one though haha, it would be fun. Just like when I rented a corvette - that was one of the largest POS's I've ever driven, and I'd never buy one, but it was a lot of fun for a week.
    how about i give you a ride in my car and see if you still can honestly call it mediocre. i agree 200k is a bit much but mustangs are far from mediocre.
    just sayin

    ^^ Lots of jealous haters. I love it. Ford is doing something people will remember in my eyes. When you're a kid you don't go "Hey look Honda is putting out a 51mpg civic" Or "Toyota built a Sports car that has 200hp!!" (Referring to their new sports car) No, you'll remember a Mustang, a MUSTANG that makes 1000hp from the factory. I love it. Who cares about the price tag, it's only for the elite, you can get a 650hp mustang for way less. They need to remember that's still 450hp MORE then Toyota's latest sports car.

    I wouldnt really say Ford is doing it as it goes to shelby for these mods. It is really like a Rousch or Lingenfelter with more heritage.
