It may not be my place to say, but whenever i think of people buying a new car for that price i can't help but think, "You could buy an NSX for that." I dunno, i'd rather have something like an NSX than a Mustang GT.

@ZDan
I think somewhere along the way, your passionate defense of the vette has led you to misunderstand and be blinded a bit by reality. I am not advocating for or against either, I do not race either a boss or a vette unless its as a favor to a friend. I do not advocate for them, do not prefer them, but given the option I would not under any circumstance, option to race a vette. It is simply not compatible with me. The zr1 is getting there, but it still suffers from the same handling characteristics. I hear this time and time again at the meetings and on the paddock, so please, stop being a magazine racer and open up to the idea that some cars are just not compatible with all drivers and vice versa.

Right, and i think it would be very difficult to be displeased with owning any of those.

I've only been driven in them at the track as an in-car instructor, haven't piloted one myself, but from the passenger seat I never detected any serous negative traits. Quote:
But your suggestion that as a track car it's inferior to a Boss Mustang is IMO way off the mark. |

I think your money is better served adding a nice Turbo setup and even better tires and suspension. For under 10K that's perfectly doable. If I could do that to my FR-S I would never part ways with it ever. Otherwise wait to see 2014/2015 models bring.
