....or... you could save yourself over $441,000.00 and buy a 2005 Suzuli GSXR 1000 that will blow this puppy into the weeds. Zero to 60 in under 3 seconds. 180+ mph.
Better gas mileage too.

And to think that in 1967 you could get a 427 Shelby Cobra for around 10 grand. My family didn'y buy into the idea that year and we wound up with a Ford Fairlane. :(

Maybe it looks better in the flesh, but the styling is just a mess of unrelated details.
