That sounds like a complete waste of money, but if Ford wants to pay for my gas I might think about it.

A Mustang? Good to keep your sights low, Subby.

Here is my "Oh HELL yes".

Mustang?

Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow.

Hell yeah! I'm all for giving idiots bigger and faster toys so they can splatter themselves all over the highway.

THIS.

/wants a 1,000 HP van for shagging

Done in one.

Yeah, no.

Has Ford stopped using old ox cart suspensions in the Mustang yet?

Not that I didn't like my Mustang, but my Mustang was fairly inexpensive for what it was. At $40,000 and up for a decently equipped one, I can think of a lot better ways to spend my money on a car I have to live with every day than one that still has a suspension from the Victorian era...

FTA: starts at $149,995, the S/C will cost $154,995. Including the price of a base GT500, the completed Shelby 1000 should cost around $200,000.

Please tell me this is an eff-word typo. This is for a Ferrari, right?

No, thank you. And I don't want a tank either.

Oh HELL YES seriously

Unless you were going to race it, it would become a sad pony.

No.

that kind of horsepower, i'm going with a Ford GT...or better yet, a Koenigsegg.

I'll take this you can keep the car.

Eddie Adams from Torrance: Expect to see these wrapped around utility poles near you this summer.

Happy 16th birthday son....15 minutes later........

meh, how about independent rear suspension?

Overpowered.

How can you possibly put all that power on the road without vaporizing your tires?

Doesn't seem very practical. Plus these new plastic Mustangs are chick cars. 80% of Mustang drivers around here are middle aged women, the rest are old baby boomer guys.

$200K?

I can think of a lot more fun things to blow 200K on, vehicular-wise.

Fix the cigarette lighter.

950 hp is all well and good, but it's not exactly usable. Even a lightly modded GT with appropriate suspension tweaks and tires is still a pain in the ass to hookup in a straight line.

North Carolina would figure out a way to tax horsepower.

I don't know... can you guarantee me more attention driving that than this?

JesseL: Never mind that you can get the same numbers for way less money in a Supra with a stock bottom end, and probably end up with something that handles better too.

Never mind that you can get the same numbers for waaaaayyyyy less money if you just bolt a big motor to a go kart chassis.

It's almost like comparing apples and oranges is silly or something, huh?

A buddy of mine worked for a video game company that was purchased by Microsoft... When all the stock option stuff settled out, he had suddenly become a millionaire. The first thing he bought with it was a Roush stage 5 Mustang. My thoughts as he did this was "Why would anyone buy a polished turd, when they could get a real car?".

i bet it handles great in the corners.

TimSTP: Oh HELL YES seriously

Bahahaha that's what I learned to drive in...tiny...built like a tank and awesome gas mileage

Can I fit an Ampeg 8x10 in a Mustang? No. It's a useless vehicle to me, then. Maybe you could transplant the powertrain into a Transit Connect?

I did fit a Marshall 4x12 in the trunk of a Focus once, that was pretty impressive.

Allen. The end.: Mustang?

Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow.

Well, I get the reference even if nobody else does...

Great news. Now if they'd could just learn to use suspension that wasn't taken from a shopping cart, we'd have a Ford that wasn't a complete deathtrap taking a bend at anything above 40mph.

Driving it in anything but open highway conditions would probably be extremely unpleasant...high HP cars aren't exactly known for their smooth handling.

have you visited the Pacer Farm?

Well shiat, I have never seen so many pretentious Debbie Downers in a single thread. Sure, a 1,000 hp Mustang is totally ridiculous and probably pointless, but that's also what makes it so insanely fun. The fact that we can even engineer something like this is farkin amazing and totally kickass. Is it really that hard for you guys to just enjoy something? You don't even have to pay for it or get behind the wheel.
