And then by the time you get to stock ZL1 performance you'll have no warranty and the car will be worth $25K due to depreciation despite you already spending ZL1 money. Yea that's smart.
And here's another thing...mod your GT and wait for parts to arrive. Oops, the wrong part showed up. Send it back and wait for the right one to arrive. Meanwhile the car sits at the shop disassembled and racking up a nice bill. Parts arrive, some of them might be defective. Some of them might be missing stuff. Whatever. So you wait and wait and the car sits. Now you need a tune but the tuner's wife is sick or his dog died or his grandmother in law just got diagnosed with cancer or his daughter got abducted by aliens or some other nonsense for not having the tune ready. So you wait even more. And now everything is ready to go and guess what...the axles you bought that were rated for 1000 RWHP snapped on the first pass at way less than 1000 RWHP. So you have to upgrade to the 1500 RWHP axles just to hold your 750 RWHP car. And the car gets towed home and sits. And finally (again) everything is ready to go but the tune is acting up and the tuner this time is vacationing on Jupiter or some damn where. Or you got "bad gas" as the Mustang community will tell you because it is never the tuner's fault...until it happens to you that is. So you wait again. All that for a base model GT with no creature comforts and that won't be worth shit if you tried to sell it because some tire kicker will try to talk you down considering that all these GT guys are getting their cars for pennies on the dollar even when they're brand new. I think I'll keep my ZL1...
