Chad, not wanting to bash Mustangs at all. However, if you drive a car like this on the street and you loose a race to a stock G.T.O. or a Mustang GT with a few mods, what kind of fool will you look like. Then after you loose, they find out you spent $75,000! Matt has the right idea. Save a lot of money, buy a stock GT and do it yourself or have it done for less. For $75,000 I would buy a Z06 Vette.

Why would you have a stripped, fully caged, on R-comps, non-street legal RACE CAR on the street, much less street racing?

I think you missed the point of this car or didn't bother to read the entire post.
It's a purpose built racer for a Spec series not a car for Jethro and Cletus to go tooling around on Main Street with.
You could prob. build it piece by piece from ford racing for less, but then you wouldn't eligible for the Series its going to race in so it kind of defeats the purpose all together.

Yes I totally agree. I even think the GT500 is a waste of money because you slap a supercharger on a stock GT and you'll have a lighter and faster car. I'm actually not a huge fan of Mustangs. I've owned Mopar most of my life but really liked the new Mustang's style so I bought one. May very well switch back to a Challenger when the time comes if it doesn't weight a million pounds.
I'm sure when the Challenger and Camaro come out everyone will be equally sick of the hundreds of variations people create, Mustangs are just the latest crazy.
