    Impressive performance. But that is a lot of scratch. I'll just take a 2011 GT and bolt on a Kenne Bell - should surpass the GT350 performance for a lot less jingle.

    The one they tested was supercharged. The next one up id guess has a different pulley on it.

    I really like that car. It's a shame that any mustang is that over priced these days. only the rich douche bags get to enjoy the supercars while the guys who keep the name alive can barely afford a GT these days.

    Say what you want, but this is an awesome car. Good luck touching it for 60K though. You forgot that it's a limited production vehicle (for real this time)... and the ADMs. The GT350 will be closer to 100K than 60K. Are there better cars out there for the money? Yes, but awesome nonetheless.

    As has been said already, it is a GT with the Ford Racing blower. That's it. Add on needless 6 piston front calipers (the stock brembos are plenty), hideous body kit, ugly stripes, and uglier wheels... Viola! GT350, and ol Shel puts another few dollars in his pocket. What a joke.

    The car needs to loose about 800 lbs and then it might be a "TRUE" performance car. Why is it that Chevy can get HP without putting a vacuum cleaner on top of the motor? Buy a C6 ZO6 and forget about the old guy in the desert.
