Going from a V6 to a V8 is about a 10,000 dollar option why going from a V8 to a supercharged V8 not be a 10,000 dollar option either? Ford was able to priceThe 03-04 Cobras between 38-40k and the GT's were in the 25-28k range back in 03/04. Thats about a 10,000 dollar difference.
Why would it piss me off? Speed costs money, not everything has to be made for our budgets...not everything has to be made for the average guy. I'm sorry but the people whining and complaining about the price are the ones NOT buying one. I'm not taking a shot at anyone's finances because it's none of my business but would you go right out and spend $45K on one tomorrow if it was available?

Quoting prices from 2003 is completely irrelevant, that's 7yrs ago. Also the MT price is speculation. Furthermore the cost of a LSA motor compared to a LS3 is greater than a 3.6-LS3 comparison.

There's a lot of QQ'ing from people that won't even buy one...

For what it's worth you can fully load a SS to hit the 40K mark, so even if it was $50K for a Z28 it still wouldn't be a bad deal and still less than a GT500. :dunno:

Nope, but you said a LS1 fbody is faster than a LS1 C5...and I just blew that ridiculous claim out of the water. "Could" a LS1 beat a C5? Sure..but you take the collective times and the C5 will come out on top...then again I guess owning one and going to the track all the time means nothing lol

I love my Fbodies, always have, always will but I'm not going to be blinded by my loyalty.
