Unfortunately my friend for what it would cost you to build any Mustang up enough to beat a Vette, you'd be better off buying a Vette in the first place. It's a shame that Ford doesn't give us a reasonably priced Mustang that can even compete with the Vette.
I think it sucks that Ford's only competitive choice is the Cobra R which technically isn't a production Mustang which is why only 300 were made in 2000. Even more disgusting is the fact that you'd have to drop close to $65,000.00 to own the only Ford vehicle that can compete with a stock Vette which you can buy at any Corvette dealer for around $40,000.00!
Ford is starting to take off the skirt and put some pants on though. The 2003 Cobra (Terminator replacement) is supposed to have a supercharged 4.6 putting out 390 HP which will still be about 10-15 HP shy of a Vette, but atleast it can compete and the list price is around $35,000.00 from what i'm reading on the web.
I love my Mustang and wouldn't trade it for a Vette, but I'd like to know that If I needed to I could hang around with the big boys from Chevrolet.
