I looked at a newer 2007 mustang gt before buying my xfire. If I wanted to just go fast, I would have bought it and blended in with the rest of the black 05-09 body style mustangs out there. While the xfire doesnt have the ***** or the huge aftermarket, it does have the handling, looks, rarity, and "fun factor". I would love to have my xfire going faster (and it will), but will never get to heavily modded gt mustang performance. Than again, the gt will NEVER look as good either More power to anyone doing any mods to their car. I wish all of you luck with whatever it is that you do in life or with your ride.
