I'd drive one, where does the line start?

the line starts at the bank and i can't afford one

Better buy it now beause it looks like the Mustang is going Euro next. 

But even with the newfound ponies, it will never be the panty dropper that a Vette or Viper is.  And a Camaro?   C'mon they haven't been cool since 1969.

I love that the american car makers still compete today like the used to in the 60's and 70's, I hope that type of competition never dies...

I know it's probably a very expensive car, but does anybody have an idea of what it costs?

it will be around 55k depending on options

until it beats the shit out of the vette or viper

First of all I referred to the Viper and Vette's ability to appeal to the ladies, which IMHO is why you spend that kinda coin on a sports car.  But if raw performance is what you want to judge the cars by .  .  .    http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&ar=hotmail
The fastest car you have ever heard of is a 2010 Viper on OEM tires.  It was 6.5 seconds faster around worlds greatest racetrack than the fastest Vette (using special slicks at that).
Interestingly, the only Ford on the same minute was the GT.   Of course the Viper broke the 7 minute mark way back in 2005.
