If you disagree that's fine. I know you were joking around, trust me I can take one also.
Now, the MSRP thing in my opinion does not go out the window for a few simple facts.
1st- The reason why the Mustang is around is because of it's MSRP.
When GM discontinued the Camaro, the V6 Camaro was the same price here as a Mustang GT. Gee I wonder what I'd buy if I could afford that money?
2nd- Theres freaks out there with 1000hp cars, no doubt. This question goes out to everyone, wheres your 1000hp ride?
If your going to base your arguement on purchasing a vechile what you can do to it, with substancial (and you can define substancial in your terms) amounts of money, fine, but not me.
3rd- I think I'm like most people here, you got your ride and probably don't mind dunping in $5K to $8K USD into it (when it's paid off) to have big power, but at the end of the day it STILL has to be a daily driver.

Lastly modding Mustangs is alot cheaper than others.
The 03/ 04 or 2006+ Cobras. Motors are already built, swamping out chargers gives 250 RWHP for the 04's and 350RWHP for the 06 + at $6k USD.
Dont believe me check out Kenne bells website. They also build chargers for LS1's.
That's a steal.

and the ol' MSRP argument can take a flying leap out the window once you have modded cars, now the cost of modding might come into play, but if you want to play that game lets add the MSRP and the cost of mods and the net HP outcomes and fastest times and I think your tune will change.
