You have said multiple times how slow the GT350R is in the 1/4 mile....nearly every post. I am listening.

No, you have said multiple times the GT350R is inferior in every way shape or form. This is the first time you actually admit the GT350R is better in the twisties.

There's that inferiority poking it's head out again. Calling other cars garbage because you don't agree with it's performance. Almost all of the non-fanboy automotive world disagrees with you.

Haha, getting difficult to keep up with the quotes I guess. Fair enough, I did mention it.
As for inferiority, I purchased my GT knowing it's slower than the SS. I'd say I'm comfortable with it's performance.

Haven't street raced in years. If you get older, you'll understand.

I'm fairly certain with $30k invested in my GT, I could dig you into a hole you wouldn't be able to touch without you yourself spending an extra $30k. When it comes to forced induction, you're going to have a tough time beating a coyote....even with your ZL1. With $30k invested into an S550, holy shit.

Chances are in 2 years I won't even be thinking about getting rid of my car anyway. But if it makes you feel better to think like that then by all means go ahead.

Don't kid yourself, most aren't paying $20K dealer markup.

And you Shelby owners aren't Barrett Jackson people anyway for that matter. The Shelby isn't sitting in an auction. It is at a dealership marked up some crazy amount which they are foolish enough to pay.

It's only stupidity if you can't afford it. Just because you can't afford what others can doesn't make it stupid. That's a bit ignorant don't you think? I wouldn't spend $500 on a pair of jeans, but I also wouldn't ostracize those who can.
