One of the few domestics I'd consider. I take my hat off to that 475hp under $40K. I'd like to see an even 500 hp to go with the name but close enough.

I don't believe it's as fast. It probably weighs 37xx lbs and 39xx lbs for the vert.

There was one at our car show last weekend. I guess these things are being sold now?
I would have taken a picture but I was distracted by the Ford GT and Shelby Cobra concept sitting near it.

Weight:approx. 3,920 lbs. (Coupe)
How is it so heavy? Isn't the normal Mustang GT only like 3400?

The engine is cast iron (I think) and weighs 300 lbs more than the GT (just for the engine). But I have read 37xx-38xx for the coupe and 39xx to 40xx for the vert.
