OT- Just drove an 05 Mustang GT
One of the gals here at the office is test driving one and threw me the keys. Headed out south of town and gave it a couple of squirts through the gears. 4.6 (281ci) VVT engine 300 horse. Runs pretty darn good, wonderful sounding exhaust, deep and throaty. Handles very well on new tight chassis. Probably goes somewhat better than my 95 Cobra which is stock other than exhaust and intake improvements. $26,500 sticker makes it a very inexpensive car for what it does. Bolt on a 3 grand centrifugal blower and you're set.

Ford always was smart enough to keep the Mustang as a blue-collar affordable car. Do that first, add bells & whistles later and you'll sell 'em. The guys who complain about the interior quality or whatever would complain louder if the sticker started at 35.

The base price on a regular 05 vette is about 45k, a fully loaded stang GT is around 25k. For 20k, I can make a helluva lot more than 100 hp.
