1 thing to think about - i don't knwo what your financial situation is but.... i'm assuming that you've paid for all of your current mods and don't owe any money on them... if you sell your car, and have to finance $30K+, that's a big car payment... are you sure you want to take that on?? Plus a GT500 likely has higher insurance rates than a stock mustang GT (which is how the insurance company sees your car)... Assuming that GT500 owners are like Corvette owners, insurance rates should be relatively decent... however, i don't know if theres' enough base experience out there to set a rate with high credibility... so the rates on GT500's may be based entirely on factory HP, etc. and not what the pool's Actuarial Future Value of losses will be throughout a year on an experience basis
Good point's ....

If anyone can have a GT500 why don't you see them on the road?

GT500's can be classified as "specialty cars" with some insurance companies. As long as you have a DD you qualify. I have a good driving record and carry high coverages (100k-300k full tort) and I only pay $400 a year with unlimited miles. Best part is we agreed on a value so if my car is totaled or stolen I get $45k minus my $100 deductible!
