OUCH...... The beat goes on after the sticker shock of paying way over MSRP for the car to begin with. The 500 horses are gonna be a significant increase in insurance premiums......and the recommended fuel is premium, and we all know about that x-tra cost. Just a many of reasons that my 'Stang GT works fine e'nuff for me....

 

I have a feeling that anyone willing to pay up to 70 grand for a 44 grand car dosn't worry about gas prices and insurance.

 

All supercharged and turbo cars ever made require premium.

Who cares about the price difference for gas if you can afford one?, gas is cheap

 

Yeah, its like four bucks a fill-up. You've got a 500 hp car, $50k to spend on it....owners won't sweat four bucks a fill up.

 

Yup, I spend $35 per week on gas, $35 per week on Starbucks. The only reason gas is expensive is because the TV machine thingy is telling you so. Now PS3 is expensive...

 

Lots of people on the board have opted for tuners that require premium fuel and we don't have 500 HP. I small price to pay for all the extra ponies in my opinion!

 

Yeah, but how 'bout the insurance on those 500 horses? You're sure not going to disguise it to the insurance companies with the VIN in place (unlike personal mods after the fact). I agree however that anybody that's got money to burn won't care about any of the associated costs. I'm not one of those people, and bang for the buck is very relevant to me. Each to their own......

 

wouldn't be that much more than the GTs, a couple hundred maybe. You shouldn't really worry about it since you're not paying for it.

 

If you have to ask.....

 

Like I said......."each to their own". It's an open forum I believe, and I stated my opinion.....not my worries. Maybe you should just pass by on a topic/opinion you don't particularly agree with instead of the critique......

 

take your own advice. plus, that didn't make since, "pass by on a topic/opinion you don't particularly agree with..." You askeda question, i answered, i never stated whether i agreed or not, i just stated MY opinion as you did.

 

I didn't realize until just recently that the Shelby is almost 500 pounds heavier than the Mustang GT. Maybe it needs that 500 horses to get it around

 

....."make since"......"askeda question"

 

childish aren't we, fine... make sense and asked a... grow up. also, your insights are a year too late.

 

......guess us white folk are slow learners rez.
