Overpriced???? You can get a Mustang GT for like 35K....for that you can get what is actually a somewhat nice interior and you get 430-some-odd horsepower plus the best handling american muscle car in its class...the GT500 is classified as the cheapest super sportscar and the new model makes 850 and 1100 hp respectively. How is this overpriced? And what do you expect them to do? The GT500 is a mustang, not its own car. Its essentially a trim of Mustang, why would you expect a different car? Please explain this to me. My car sits about the same height as that and here in MD, where roads SUCK, I would have no problem running that splitter except for right into a curb...and this is built for a track (actually, built for SEMA) just wondering where you get all these expectations. Seems like every post you put up is just some negative trash talk.
What this guy said
lolwut?
Must be....
As for the OP, I like the wheels but hate the body kit. Cool for a show and all, but thats about it.

This is hilarious! Just incase my word is not good enough.
From Uncle Wiki:
"Muscle car is a term used to refer to a variety of high-performance automobiles.[1] The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving."[2] A large V8 engine is fitted in a 2-door, rear wheel drive, family-style mid-size or full-size car designed for four or more passengers. Sold at an affordable price, muscle cars are intended for mainly street use and occasional drag racing.[3][4][5][6] They are distinct from two-seat sports cars and expensive 2+2 GTs intended for high-speed touring and road racing. Developed simultaneously in their own markets, muscle cars also emerged from manufacturers in Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere."
***The high speed touring and road racing is also muscle car territory, especially now with pro-touring.
Pony Car:
"Pony car is an American class of automobile launched and inspired by the Ford Mustang in 1964.[1][2] The term describes an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image.[3][4]
The requirements for these two-door, four passenger capacity models were therefore set:[12][13]
Stylish and sporty styling that included "long hoods, short decks, and open mouths"
Assembled from "off-the-shelf" mass production components
Affordable base price (under $2,500 — in 1965 dollar value)
Wide range of options to individualize each car
Youth-oriented marketing and advertising.
While most of the pony cars offered more powerful engines and performance packages, enough to qualify some into muscle car territory, a substantial number were sold with six-cylinder engines or ordinary V8s.[14] For the most part, the high-performance models saw limited sales and were largely limited to drag racing, road racing, or racing homologation purposes."
Try and tell me a BOSS 429, Shelby GT500 or a new 650hp GT500 is not a Muscle Car!
