Exactly!! On point.
Unfortunately the GT is just a GT no matter how you dress it up. Plus they have issues when FI is introduced too. Tuning issues. Mechanical issues. You name it. At least with the GT500 you get a warranty. By the time you get a similarly optioned GT to perform like a GT500 you probably would spend more than a GT500 anyway.

I would disagree about spending the same money if straight line speed is the measuring stick. Get a base GT a10 and stick a TT kid or a 2650 and you'll be faster than a gt500 for way less money just no warranty.
Shoot probably for around the same money or less, depending on the deal you get, you could supercharge a gt350 to 800whp and have a manmission. T56 swap it while you're at it to have a proper transmission that'll handle the power and you might still be within budget.
I say straight line, because I don't see the point to getting a GT to try to compete with a 500 on a road course.
