Sure, i'm padding the numbers a little if you buy the good stuff and have to pay a shop to do some of the work.

I see your point... ok... it's "close".

But still, that's assuming you wouldn't want to upgrade your wheels, brakes, suspension even if you DID buy a Shelby. And I think for the most part, even folks with Shelbies, still upgrade their rides. So then, that's an even bigger hole. Price of Shelby PLUS upgrades.... LOL

If you are a car guy you're gonna mod and spend money on it whether you go NA or FI. Its a hobby, habit, need and desire all rolled into one. Lol

Exactly my point! Not even close! Plus I'm more "intimate" with Marilyn now that I personally did all the mods on her. Lol that didn't sound right hahaha

On another note, did you say "used" with 900 miles? Who the hell sells/traded their car with 900 miles. Wow... That's insane. You got quote the find there!!!

For what its worth i did put it on a lift before i bought it to look at the frame and everything underneath the car.
