60k car + 15k parts + labor? It's basically a GT500 with a 20k discount.
Except it isn’t a GT500, not by any stretch. It is in fact just a GT with some stuff bolted on that potentially raises a whole ā€˜nother set of issues.

I’d like to be within earshot three years down the road when the owner is attempting to trade it in and explains to the dealership’s appraiser that ā€œit’s basically a GT500ā€.

I think he was just pointing out that's what it is other than paying for the brand name.

IF you have the money, why not. Lots of people have that kind of cash.

Well, the GT500 has different suspension, cooling, transmission and engine. So I don't see that comparison at all.
They will have similar ETs and the same warranty and look identical to anyone outside the mustang community. But yeah, nothing to compare at all.

+ 28k for the RTR package with supercharger, I mean if that's what you want it's not crazy

You get the sketchy Ford Performance warranty with this one...

Wow that is insane!
Well, the car is supercharged. But for that price tag I'd rather go C8 or Shelby. Ive seen a couple supercharged Mach 1s going for less than that. Not to mention buying an aftermarket supercharged car is the very definition of sketch.
