and I'm sure if you goto Detroit, you will see more Mustangs than BMWs...it goes with the territory...

I don't understand how this makes sense when the GT500 is $48k. People who want "Shelby" on their car, I guess.

2011 with a mast antenna? Ghey.

I am sure you are correct. Most of my time I live in Upstate SC where many BMW's are built and they are everywhere. It is looked at supporting the local economy. You see more 3's then Chevy's, Fords or Toyotos. There are a bunch of local events held at their performance tracks.

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...

for sure, my 370z nismo is a lot rarer than those bmw 3 series cars where i live.

even the guys who work at the nissan dealership said they had never seen one in real life until the day I came to pick it up
