2005-2009 Mustang GT - Best Used Car Performance Value Out There?

http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-1...ed-Performance


Article I wrote. Not sure if you would consider this Lounge Material or not - it is relevant. My car was used as the "test bed" for the story. Started out with a 13.69@104.3, with 13.80s @103.xx being the norm. Best post tune was a 13.43 @105.3mph, spinning hard through 2nd.

As the months (and years...) drag on, these cars used are proving to be one of the best performance buys ever, especially if you add a supercharger to them.

Good read and all so true.

Mine was used and by far the best value I found at the time.

My car is actually worth more than what I owe according to the NADA and Blue Book. But I'm not selling snot. Atleast not before I get blown

Good article, but are you sure on your Camaro price? to quote "The Chevrolet Camaro SS has been received to great fanfare since first gracing every magazine cover on the planet three years ago, and offering the most bang for the buck out there: 422hp and 111mph in the quarter mile for under $30,000"

I just went to chevy's website and the cheapest I could get an SS is $31,595 after destination charge. This is MSRP, no market adjustment. Is chevy hurting so bad they are already making deals on the camaro?

A little follow up. I checked cars.com for new camaros within 100 miles of my house. The prices ranged from $49,015 to $35,750. I don't see your under $30,000. I am not trying to bust your ***** and the camaro is a value if horsepower is your criteria, but your numbers seem off to me.
