At 80K you could almost buy a Tesla roadster which would be about as fast and get better (FUEL??) economy so they say.

Wow...thanks but no thanks.

I dont think its supposed to be a GT500 though, I think its just a Mustang and a Shelby Cobra. I just dont know why you'd get one of these other than to spend money you dont know what to do with...just confusing.

Bitch all you want, but I think we're looking at the future here. A THOUSAND lb/ft TQ at idle? WOW! Sure, it's expensive now, but the newest stuff always is. It will come down as time passes.

Now I'm not trading my fire breathing V8 for an electric motor tomorrow, or ever, but something tells me that in 10 or 20 years the kids are going to be blowing me off the road with their little electric Honda's, gasoline is going to be $25 a gallon because nobody uses it anymore, and my grand kids are going to be calling me "that crazy old guy with the (said with a roll of the eyes) "fossil fuel car." It's gonna suck, but unless someone perfects the Star Trek transporter first, that's where it's headed.

I wonder how hard it is to make home made 93 octane?!

High fossil fuel bills will be replaced by high electric bills. That's where it's headed, money will never be saved, heh.

"Yeah I don't pay for gas anymore but my DWP bill is $750 a month!"

Hey guys, I don't think this is so bad. It would be great if we could still enjoy cars like our mustangs in 10-20 years when or if gas becomes unattainable or too expensive.

That might work!


Wait a minute. Won't that high power stereo rob me of some horsepower? Damn, now I'll need underdriven amplifiers!
