Hmm. I never thought of Nuts as "stupid". It's more like "crazy". But since you have so much money it's not crazy its just eccentric. Rich people are like that.
About the Franklin Mint, how about sending me one of those GT500s. I'm too poor to buy one myself. Us old retired folks living here in Florida are having a rough time lately. Yes I'll need some luck with my Mustang. You know FORD (Fix Or Repair Daily). I don't wish I had one of those Shelby Mustangs but I do wish I could afford to buy gas for one.
Regards,
Moronix (Moron for short)

Well as long as you stay away from the Z06 you'll do fine.
Hmmm. Lets see now. Mustang 500hp/3920lbs vs Corvette 505hp/3180lbs. Make sure you let the other guy know he's in a race.

You don't honestly think that 10 lb/ft of torque will make up for an extra 740 lbs, do you?

Yes I do!
 
Over all we are talking about 1 lb of weight per every lb of torgue difference.
 
It will also depend on drivers.
 
Also, with minor modification you can more than make up the difference for weight, HP and torque.

The Z06 only has to haul around 6.77 lbs of weight for every lb/ft of torque. The Shelby is 8.17. That's a huge difference in terms of acceleration.

Yep!
 
And a fully loaded Z06 has an MSRP of $77,925 VS a fully loaded Shelby GT500 with MSRP of $45,060.
 
Only a difference of $32,865.
 
Add less than $2,000 of modifications to the Shelby and for $30k less you have a better looking car that will smoke the Z06 hands down!
 
Even if you paid a $15k - $20k premium to buy the Shelby you still have a better looking car and after modifications you are still $10k - $15k ahead and have a car that will smoke the Z06!
 
Even if you go with a stripped model of the Z06 at $70k you are still ahead with a modified Shelby that will smoke the Z06 after paying a $15k - $20k premium!
