I could almost tolerate the body mods if I couldn't find another C4, but the interior mixed in would definitely make me think three or four times. Surprisingly, the skulls really don't help that much.

I own a supercharged mustang gt why would I get a Honda? I have a 2000 mustang gt that's supercharged and it's 390 hp I'm looking for more but the limit on my pistons 450 hp. So I'm interested in this vette cause with a bigger lift cam I can beat 450 hp. I'm a mechanic who will work on it myself.

Wow man I come on here asking for advice and you guys flame me like that? I think I'll stick to the mustang community. It's def a mustang gt which means I have a 4.6 v8 and I'll beat most of your corvettes in a 1/4. The stock c4 never could compete with newer mustangs. You guys run 14.4 stock and mine runs high 11.

The stock 4.6 can't handle 450 hp cause of powdered pistons and rods. I've owned my gt for 4 years now and have done a lot of work. I've been working in a ford dealer for a while now and I know a bit about cars. I'm looking for advice not to be insulted. I'm looking at it for its performance not its looks. This will not be a daily driver just a track car.

To clarify this all. I have a 2000 mustang gt with an eaton from a 2003 cobra. I had to purchase a kit to make it adapt to my 2v heads since cobras are 4v cars. Plus obviously a new intake and Maf sensor as well as a boost-a-pump which helps power the fuel pump to keep fuel pressure up for the added air. It also has Mac headers Mac or h and a Mac catback. A t45 trans with king cobra clutch and 4.11 gears. I'm looking to sell mine for 14 buy this car for 8. Buy a 550 lift cam and pray I make 450 on the dyno.
