$58K - 2008 Roush 427R Trak Pak
The Boss meets Boy Racer

By now, we’ve seen every variation of Ford’s Mustang that possibly could exist under the sun. Even so, Roush’s 427R (“Like a Teenager”, AW, September 25, 2006) makes us stand up and take notice. For 2008, the new 427R Trak Pak is race-tuned icing on a muscle-car cake.
Notably, the Trak Pak includes a new suspension package designed for track competition. Along with a front-shock tower brace, the package adds adjustable front and rear shocks, springs, stabilization bars and camber/caster plates. Eighteen-inch forged-alloy wheels are fitted with “high performance” tires of undisclosed specification.
The supercharged 4.6-liter V8 is unchanged from the base 427R, meaning it’s good for 435 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. Roush claims the Trak Pak’s revised grille and radiator shields improve the cooling system, while vented six-piston front calipers with 14-inch slotted rotors help stop the car in a hurry.
Roush applies the base 427R’s front fascia and chin spoiler but also offers a new adjustable carbon-fiber rear wing. This, along with white gauges, carbon-fiber dash trim and window louvers, are the only options available on Roush’s new racehorse.
427R Trak Paks go on sale later this summer and are expected to sticker around $58,245. With Roush building only 100 examples, we hope most—if not all—make it to the track. Pitted against Saleen’s Parnelli Jones Mustang, it could make for a great Trans-Am revival.

I could get a GT500 for that and put in the rest of the money to actually make it fast and earn its name-sake.
