Oh I agree but someone else brought up the whole mod "debate". Clearly the mustang is the best bang for the buck right now in that department. Buy a new one for 24 grand, dump another 10 into it, and you're faster than a GT500.
But you are right that there is more to a car than how fast it can go for x dollars. Aesthetics are important. Very important. If I thought a car was ugly as piss I wouldn't want it. Porsche comes to mind there. Just ugly ass frog cars. I can't stand the front ends and those headlights. I don't give a crap how fast it is I wouldn't want one.
