If this is going to be the consensus argument, then everyone on here is seriously wasting money on $30k Mustangs. I think everyone should go out and buy some Pontiac Fieros with LS1 swaps and call it a day.

I wouldn't say every mustang here, and these days it's all about more bang for your buck. I'm just saying it should be faster for how much their charging for this thing.

That's your opinion that it should be faster. A car's price doesn't dictate how fast it should be. Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini etc, have been proving this for literally decades. Ever wonder why Viper and Corvette sales can lag while they will always dominate the price/performance value vs a Porsche Carrera 4s being far more expensive and slower yet never having to worry about sales? You should really consider that. This should help you understand. If you were truelly looking for the cheapest way to go fast short of buying a bike, you would get a POS 240SX for about 2 large, put a cammed LS1 in it for junkyard prices of oh IDK, $2,000.00, with the right suspension setup and tires, be more competitive than cars costing $80k. But no matter how fast you can modify one car, it will never substitute for driving another car. Ever. Pulling up to the Four Seasons in a cammed 302 Mustang will not have the same impact as pulling up in a slower Bentley GT which cost more than double the price would you agree?
