Is ford coming out with a SVT version of the mustang or not? Im not a ford guy but i would love to see a new SVT mustang.
kinda what i was thinking too

lot of rumors on the cobra, but nothing official.....

the gt40 isn't even safe enough to drive right now and costs 140k+

the 05 z06 was at least low 12s(one mag got it 11.99 i think?) and the new one should blow by that with the 427 and 500hp
at 70k it's taking a run at the vette in more than one way...

dcx says low 12s for the new viper, but they've been highballing most numbers lately(i.e. the srt4 was billed as a 14.2 car if i remember right, but there have been many in the 13s and a few stock lx hemi cars have dipped into the 13s ) , and even that was with a 120 trap estimate so i'd say it'll be at least close with the new vette, which is good since it costs at least 10k more

there are a lot of high 12 to mid 13 cars out there: the mach one, cts-v, gto, any of the srt8s that will be coming, ect....

new car prices aren't so cool though....i thought about a magnum last spring and decided that i'd rather spend that new car money on modding a used car instead.......but if you've got the cash i'm sure that new car smell is nice
