Even if you take the ZL1, a much better and more expensive car than the GT, it starts at 60k with all the options you'd want.

Dude!!!! Lol.
Go build one. If you put the engine in it would need to have a prayer of keeping up with the G80 i.e. becoming it's equal then it starts at $70,000 and it goes up from there considerably. As does the ZL1. You know we do have a pretty good cheap 3 series ourselves in the BMW line up that starts around 40K? Let's keep this apples to apples shall we? If we do then my statement is dead on accurate. |
Sorry, I disagree. A GT500 and ZL1 are not an apples/to-apples comparison to the G80 - both the Ford and the Chevy would eat the G80 alive.
The ZL1 is cheaper than the G80, although obviously not to the same extent as the Mustang GT. Frankly speaking, if all we cared about was performance, we'd all be driving Zl1s as they represent the single greatest performance bargain on sale today (especially with the track special 1LE package).
The Mustang GT is even cheaper still (at 37k, as you noted). You can't "spec out at GT to a GT500", as the GT500 isn't a trim level, it's a car onto itself.
At the core of the issue I think we agree though - the G80 is more expensive AND slower than the American counterparts, but comes with a ton of other benefits that can't be measured on a track or drag strip.
