Christ... power and speed are DECISSIONS these days. Not achievements. You can easily put 1000 hp into a 20 years old Mustang. So what. There is no magic to it.

Hey the new gt500 is gonna have more horsepower than the top tier vette. So much bs and not enough product.

@SkylarkGSX All though that is possible, I would go with a used Corvette. Not brand spanking new. You can get a 2005 C6 for around the mid to high 20,000s easy. And C5s can be from their low 20,000s to as low as the low teens. You can also find some C5s in the high 9,000s bracket if you look around. People just don't understand how cheap a Corvette really is, because car salesmen try to scare them away. And so does insurance, but even that isn't really bad either. Corvettes are really a bargain.

@Janusha Yes i am a teenager and you are an ignorant adult that is obsess over the American car manufactures you are on every American car vids on Youtube posting ignourant comments about flagwavers and it is you are the flagwaver,flagwaving over cars that are nott even made in your country :P

@carbonfiber1995

Saleen never MADE any Mustangs. They simply put blowers on them. And they went bankrupt in 2005 when Saleen himself left the company. The Raptor is one more of your imaginary vehicles that dont actually exsist.

You are the teenager here... Im just schooling you boy.

[carbonfiber1995]

@Janusha Salleen isnt bankrupt they are making mustangs but he also have the saleen rapter but it didnt went into pruductin.Why are you so ignorant over the American car Industry you are going to have a high bloodpressure because of fucking car > :P

[Janusha]

And these cars are thinly disguised racecars with corvette engines. Not supercars. Steel tubular chassis as seen in racecars since the 60s and prefabricated raceparts doesnt automatically make it a supercar. Qualitywise they are no match for the real thing. Which is why people arent buying them.

@carbonfiber

Ooh you were talking about your fantasy world. How interesting. You dont have to show me they CAN build supercars. Anyone can build a supercar but they dont. America put 2 more or less working cars on Mars for christs sake so there should be no reason to fail at cars on this planet. The technology to build supercars isnt rocketscience.

Saleen S7 made 20 cars and went bankrupt 7 years ago. Mosler might build you a car if you call and pay up front. trouble is. nobody does.

[carbonfiber1995]

@Janusha I am not saying they exists in the real world you always acting like you are a know it all and i know that chrysler is mersedes tech and who fucking cares if it is mercedes tech i am just showing you that they can build supercars like Salleen s7,Mosler,and ford gt,Has long has a car is build in a country it represents it no matter which country the parts are from.
