Ehh, I would and did pay >$95k for an M5, but would NOT pay more than half of that for a Mustang.

I say that, but I did own a Mustang II (boredom zero) once many years ago... What a muscle car that was!

Actually, it's the iron block from the Lightning, though it has GT heads and supercharger.

Since it has a SC, I imagine with a few simple mods it can be pretty insane. For around $50K, you can probably run 11 second quarter miles.

I might be wrong, but I read that the new cobra will actually have 500 hp.
