Agreed. But for some reason there is an overwhelming temptation for people to espouse the fact they can get the same or better HP for less out of the 5.0. Great. But owners who are in the market for the GT350/R and GT500 cars aren't looking to mod a 5.0. Or we would have. It should be obvious that it's more about the exclusivity, specialty, and even collectability to a certain degree. No amount of 5.0 power mods changes a thing.A lot of people want the HP experience and not all the extras that come with cars like the GT500 including having to pay that price. Cars like the GT500 and others are not just high powered vehicles. The factory gives them features that are not in the lower model cars. But when a regular GT owner sees a GT500, they are not seeing it for all the extra stuff it comes with. They see only "760 horsepower". And they think hey I can get that same horsepower or much more with a supercharger and not spend money on the GT500. So that is all they see and that is what they are commenting on. And they are right to a certain degree. But they are also wrong since the GT500 is way more than just "760 horsepower".
