Can't take the money and possessions with you when you go, so enjoy it while you can. That's what I'm doing with NO REGRETS!!!!

Nice CFTP ride, I could be in one but went for something else...……..

Its beautiful dont get me wrong! That big ass wing does nothing but slow u down tho. Wings are for down force and u dont experience that till u hit 150+ mph. They have no use on the street it just adds extra weight and resistance even if its CF.

If u ever watch Drag Times the first thing Brooks says when he looks at another car that he's gonna race is how happy he is it has a big ass wing cause he knows how much it slows the car down when they race.

The CF wheels are pretty badass tho! Ive heard a few ppl comment on the paint and for a $100k u would think the paint would be spectacluar but its not cause its a Mustang.

I understand where you are coming from. It is a bunch of money. I know many people will say "It's just a mustang" A 760hp, DCT, carbon fiber wheels, huge brakes, and carbon fiber winged mustang. Yep, and all that costs money. If you can build me a car with all that for less, please share. Supercharger=$$ DCT=$$$ Carbon wheels=$$$$ Carbon wing=$$$$ Brakes=$$ Now, should the paint be better? Hell yeah it should be.

What you speak is the truth. I really wish more people had the chance to drive one. I had a 19 GT, fully loaded with all options. Sticker price was 53k. As I was waiting for the GT500 I couldn't help but think "Is this thing really going to be worth double the price?" I mean, I questioned my sanity. Now, I'm lucky that I'm financially able to buy a 106k car. Still, I couldn't help but wonder. After that first drive... I was sold.. It really is that good.

The thing is totally dope dont get me wrong and that color is absolutely wicked! Yea double the price just seems nutz to me tho. U certainly didnt get double the performance.

The GT500 use to be financially reachable for most guys now its in exotic land pricing but its not really all that exotic imo to justify a 6 figure price tag. Its kinda a shame that ur averge guy will likely never get a chance to own a GT500 now.

I guess in a few years it will within reach for some but never a new one unless ur making deep into the 6 figures to justify one. Hard to say how they will hold in value tho. Again, its a Mustang lol and I guess pricing it this high is a way to make it more valuable idn.

I was really surprised at that recent video of the ZR1 vs. the 1000 whp GT500. Just goes to show how much extra hp u need to move it. I do look forward to going for a ride in one cause I bet it handles really well to.

Very nice choice, Tony! With all the black trim, did you ever consider black wheels? Looks great as it sits, though.

I have the original wheels put away and they are black (actually carbon flash). The wheels on there now were from my C6 Z06 that I kept when I sold the car. I had just installed new tires on those wheels for the Z06 spring 2019 and got this car fall of.

This is not true at all. You definitely feel the aero at low speeds as well. When people talk about aero on cars, it is better to think of it as a complete package(flat floor, front splitter, rear wing, rear diffuser) rather than just focusing on one element because they they function together as a package.
