The M4 undercuts the S550 GT's curb by a solid 250 lbs and is a whole lot stiffer. Everything about the car is great (save for the noise ). You should have no issue getting the GT in the same realm for $5-10k worth of work, which still makes the thing a huge bargain. And you won't end up with something that has a crap interior after you've brought the performance side of things up to speed.
i always thought using the whole after market thing was a not fair. Sure anycar can be modded. and i agree this mustang is a really good platform. i am just a bit shocked at how slow the new GT is in a straight line from factory.

i mean if the F80 M3 posted the same straight line speeds as the E92 there would be problems.
