As to the GT 500 costing $48,000, Many dealers sell the 500's for twenty grand more then the sticker because you don't see that many. Is it worth a price that pushes it well into Cayman or GS Vette territory? Beauty is dependent on the beholder however, I do think the 2011 Mustang GT with 412 HP and track pack for low to mid 30's is a good price for what you get. Don't want to start a "which is best" but just an opinion...
