No.  I've 'raced' with them.

I don't know what they cost.

It looks terrible, but you're asking about speed.

I loved that car as a child.

My dad had a gold, second-generation Firebird Trans-Am around the time I was born.  I didn't realize you were that old, The Shadow!

I'm the one who's old.  I was a kid when that car came out.

The Shadow bought it used.

Oh, I get it now.  This is a mid-life crisis thing, isn't it.  ;)

I'm thinking the Mustang GT. 
The New Mustangs are very nice they look quite a bit like the older ones they first made in the 60's. They are very quick even with the standard engine. The V8 is fast. Last year Ford put out a special edition Hertz Shelby. This car was not sold to the public. Hertz had 500 of this car and they will be sold when Hertz is through with them as used cars. Hertz and Ford did this once before about 40  years ago and the original Hertz Shelby's are a rare collector car. Unlike the standard Mustangs the Shelby's  will still sell for a very high price. I have driven the Shelby and the regular V8 Mustang and there is really not all that much difference in them except for the look. The regular one is a great deal since it will be about half the price of the Shelby and is still a formidable mussel car.
