Shelby GT500KR

CS GT is nothing special at all. It has a stripe down the middle of the car.

eh it's a little more than that. I'll let ya research it though, i'm to lazy to type it all out. the package is kinda expensive but IMO worth it for the 18" bullits and the two tone seats.

Yea I know its more then that, I was just busting his balls.

I must say, that is some nice photo retouching.

Yeah and its pretty fcking mean looking also.

The GT500KR will be the flagship of Ford "common" cars. The only car higher in the hierarchy is the Ford GT- which in itself isn't really comparable to the Z06 if you look at the price difference. Then let's take a look at the numbers for the KR vs. the Z06. Roughly similar- considering that the KR is going to weigh a notch or two more than the Z06 and be a lot less agile...well, like I said. The Z06 is going to come out on top hands down.

When your logic is a bit more sound please respond...

What I was saying is that a Mustang, no matter what version is still a Pony car no matter what. That 100k KR has parts that are on a 20k v6 stang- and im not faulting the car or anything, its just that at the end of the day its still a pony car.

Z06 & Viper are race cars..for the street. I dont understand how you could compare them, or why you would. They are two totally different breeds- even if the mustang does have 500 hp and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Why compare race cars to pony cars? I just think when the new camaro comes out, it would be better to do a KR>Z28 or something like that. Of course Z06>Viper>KR, its like saying SilverGT1's Mustang> my Cavalier...dua they are not even in the same class. Thats all I was trying to say.

^ I was going to post pretty much the same thing. You can't compare a Z06 with a car based of a spoiled high school girls V6 Mustang. Are they still using a solid rear axle in the KR?

[SikMindz]

Then my question is what would you compare this to in ANY class? I'm assuming that the KR will easily push 80K-100K- so you're saying it's in the same class as a low end exotic? Or are you saying that we should be comparing this to a G6, Camry, Altima, or Accord because it's just a "modified" Mustang?

I mean my intuition and logic tells me that if you're going to compare something why not use the 2 most obvious factors here- power and price. Anyone else?

[AMRAAM4]

once again...

..don't use your intuition. It's clear you haven't been hanging with the shaolin monks (or the 36 chambers)

[SikMindz]

Rahhhhhhhh!

So then oh enlightened one- has the KR been designated as its own class now much like a Procharged, RWD, pink V8 Grand Am? *snicker*

don't be so quick to make that comment. I know alot of you don't like mustangs and that's fine. let's see what kind of number's the Shelby puts down before making your opinions.

[GrandAmGT1996]

I watched a video last night of a GT500 run 10s, he had somewhere around 600 horses...this one is coming out of the gates with 540.

numbers is one thing price is another if this is priced near/over 100k you'd be crazy to buy this over a porsche

around $90k

ZO6 stock will outdue it on a road course. Add a cam and headers and for $75k you'll trounce this Ford any way for $15k less

The reason this car is so expsensive is because its going to be rare, and adventually a classic probably. There is only going to be 1,000 of them.

i still think it looks meaner than a Z06 for sure. some magazine will have the Z06 Vs. the KR sometime soon
