Yep, I agree. Say for instance my car. Depending what deal you get as well. I paid less than 25g's for my car(Before tax and all the crap. This is just for the car. The same you would pay for 35g's for the shelby gt before tax and all the other crap). I can take that extra 10g's and get a supercharger and cutome tuned and get a bodykit and better supension and end up with somewhere around 450 to 500 HP's safely.

That is what I was thinking. Also, you could get a 5.7L equipped Challenger and use the extra $5K for moding it. I don't care if it has Shelby's name on it, it is a rip off. $10K for 25 extra hp and Shelby's name, not worth it. It's the Bullit GT all over again.

In 2001, Ford offered a special version of its GT with the "Bullitt" nameplate. It was reminiscent of the 1968 390 fastback model driven by Steve McQueen in the movie of the same name. The car was slightly lowered and had name brand shocks with the addition of short length sub-frame connectors which improved the handling. Many lauded the improvements and called it the best handling production Mustang ever. Moreover, a new intake design and mufflers added put the power at 265 hp, later revised to a still conservative 270. More telling is the torque curve, which was vastly improved over the base GT models, 90% of its 305 ft·lbf available from 2000 rpm. This broader torque curve makes itself known at the drag strip, as these special edition Mustangs could cover the 1/4 mile in 2-3 tenths of a second quicker and ~2 mph faster than a regular GT. These special intake manifolds responded very well to superchargers and were great for nitrous oxide (due to the fact that if there is a nitrous-backfire, the aluminum Bullitt manifold wouldn't be blown apart like its plastic counterpart). 17 inch “American Torq-Thrust,” wheels reminiscent of those on the car driven by McQueen in the movie were also used on this car and made optional on GT’s wrapped in 245/45ZR performance rubber by Goodyear. The Bullitt featured a hood scoop that first appeared on the 1999 35th anniversary package Mustang GT’s, as well as new side scoops, lower body moldings and c-pillars with unique rear side window shape. Other special features on the Bullitt included aluminum pedals and shifter, retro-styled gauges and seats, red brake calipers with the Mustang logo on them, and the removal of the spoiler and fog lamps regularly found on Mustang GT’s, all for a cleaner look. The Bullitt Mustang was offered in only three colors: Dark Highland Green (like Steve McQueen's original Bullitt Mustang), True Blue, and Black. Total production was 5582 units, with 3041 of those in Dark Highland Green.
