I think the GT500 looks nice. Ofcourse I would buy Camaro first, but hey, as long as its American

The 2SS makes 426. Supercharge that at 40% and you get 596...in a car that weighs approx. 300lbs less and costs approx 12K less. Oh yeah, and Ford wouldn't "pony up" for an IRS again either. I guess I'm missing MT's point here.
+1 Good point 70/10 Keith

I'm betting I can get 540HP out of the V6 for even less than that!

And if you ever had a late model GT (like we had on the lot), I CANNOT stand the LIMP MODE - aka FAILSAFE!!!
