2016 Mustang GT Premium with PP. Oxford White convertible with red seats. I saw one for $46,995 at a dealership. I talked them down to $43,995 because I wasn't paying over $45K for a GT. The dealership was a 6 hour drive. I turned it down because it was too far to go. So I got another deal on a GT for $40K. OTD was like $44K. I bought a GT350 IM/TB for $1100, intake for $325, exhaust for about $550, used tuner for $175, LTs thru Beefcake for $800, and a custom tune thru Lund for like $300 I think...I can't remember. Do the math on that. I didn't get the headers installed because I ditched the car but the install at a shop would have been an additional $200 (they know me). Livernois messaged me about a supercharger setup and it was about $7000 installed and tuned. It would have costed me $1000 to ship the car to them round trip. And that didn't include the cost of OPGs or an upgraded clutch or suspension components or tires. And then it would have been a bit more if I wanted the warranty with the blower. So again, do the math. I don't have to lie. I know how much it would have costed to get a Mustang the way I wanted with the upgrades I wanted and it wasn't worth it.
Now if you scrounge around and buy base model shit or even a used GT and then scrape around buying used parts then you can put together something for much less. Been there, done that, and those days are over for me bro. I can buy what I want brand new the way I want it and that is what I do. But none of this takes away from the fact that Mustangs need to be modded from the ground up to make them fast and reliable. And by the time you're done with all that you spent a pretty penny and will have no warranty.
