Truth.

You break a part on the GT500, easily replaced and costs the same as a standard mustang part to replace.

For those saying they'd rather own a M3/GT-R/Z06, your point with the GT-R and Z06 can be understood, but why would any of you want to own a car that a $27,500 car eats and shits out with less than a grand in mods (referring to standard GT vs. M3)?

Things are a dime a dozen here in Germany, the Germans are afraid to mod them for fear of voiding the warranty and killing their 15 year loan investment... yes, they can take out 15-20 year car loans and do, just to drive a fancy car
