Odds of that are about as good as getting a Shelby next year for sticker...

Yes.mattkimsey said:You might get it over 400hp, but will you still have a warranty?
There goes the 'cheaper' argument. They proabably also limit how much boost you can run and still maintain the warranty. From what I've seen they cost over $5700 too. http://www.lmperformance.com/6265/73.html That would probably end up costing a good bit more than a stock GTO. To top it off....only 430hp, that's only 30 more hp than a stock GTO.celticstanger said:Yes.

Read, in particular -
"As with all Roush Performance Products (RPP) powertrain offerings, the ROUSHcharger is backed by an industry-leading 3-year or 36,000 mile warranty that includes coverage on all ROUSHcharger components, as well as the vehicle’s drivetrain components, including: engine, transmission and rear axle."

What....26k with no options? I've looked at about 40 Mustang GT's and none of them were 26k. About $28,000 is the cheapest I've seen. We could play this game all day though.....you could get a 2005 1/2 SRT4 for $21,500 and toast both the GTO and GT while getting better gas mileage and having money left over. It's weird that the best bang for the buck car for 3 yrs. was a 4cyl. Neontom281 said:Base GT's can be ordered for $26000, base GTOs are about $31000. For that difference, you can do alot to the GT and still have factory warranty. And why worry so much about HP ratings, when a GT with a tune, CAI, pullies, gears, and small suspension mods will run mid 12's; that's fast when you compare to the stock 400 horse GTO that would run high 12's/low 13's.
Both are great cars, but they're different enough that they're really not comparable fairly.

Now were bringing up used carsduner said:Ok. My buddy just sold his '03 Cobra with a few goodies for $21,500 and it would spank all three of the cars you mentioned
Edit - the goodies were wheels and some bling not a pulley and a tune.
mattkimsey said:Now were bringing up used cars......my buddy just sold his mildly modified '00 Z28 for $8,900 and it would spank all 4 cars mentioned. I think eventually we'll get down to....."well a friend of a friends uncles step sister twice removed best friends godfather just sold his 5.0 for $3k and it was "teh quick".

So you compare the base Mustang with a well equiped base GTO? How about we compare what most are really selling for and that would be about 28k.....so a difference of 5k. Also, like I said, can you get an extra 100hp out of a GT and still keep the warranty? Someone brought up the Roush S/C, but that will negate your $7100 and actually cost more when you consider what most GT's sell for. Plus the GTO has IRS and a T56. I think it was about a month ago, that I saw GTO's at 30k with employee pricing....that was a deal.tom281 said:The thread is about comparing the Mustang to a GTO. And yes like I said in my post, you can order a base Mustang GT (all power, ABS, etc.) for $25860 at sticker price. Sure, it doesn't have alot of the nicer features, but you've been talking about horsepower, and for that price you get a lot of power. Base, base pricing on a GTO starts at $32995; thats a difference of $7135! Big differerence in price when you're talking about an extra 100 horses........
That's "bang for the buck"!

I clicked on the site you warned me not to. I am speechless. Next time, I will follow simple instructions. I am going to tell myself it was all a bad dream. Yeah, that's it... just a dream...

I say show some 1/4 times and does that s/c include a 6spd. or irs....not! Scratch both, I say get the SRT4 and for the price of a GT and S/C---you could have a 10sec. NEON!!!celticstanger said:It can be had for $4,600 (still not cheap!). Yup, you can bet they'll limit the boost level (no d'uh).
30hp more than a stock goat, or 130hp more than the stock GT that already almost hangs with the 400hp stock goat? You say tomato, I say tomato (doesn't work so well, written down).
