sure, but at what point are you having fun driving the rocket, versus the rocket driving you?

cars like this should require a third pedal for the experience.

and let the high end euro cars have all the tacky aero parts;
Last time I checked, this was a pony car... or maybe Ford has forgotten this.

Maybe I'm just an old fashioned stick in the mud.

I thought the performance package 2 Mustang GT was cool... it has some similar ground effects without looking overly tacky.

Some of these collector cars will be put away and hardly ever driven on the street except to the Breakfast Car Show in California. This is a MONEY Car.

That being said, some do drive the cars. A bunch of the old 2006 Ford GT drivers have never been past 120 in their cars but they drive all over the country to the shows. Most just haul them in trailers to the shows.

A friend has a original 1967 Shelby 500 Mustang (427 Dual Quad Car).
He will buy one and add it to his other 1967 venicle as a comparison vehicle.

Ford will sell every one they build.

As I posted in other threads, many can't drive a 600 hp car PROPERLY much less a 750+ hp car.
