The Mustang Dark Horse SC High equipment group package, costs more money than an entire brand new Ecoboost Mustang

The Dark Horse SC 970A high equipment group package costs $36,500 and includes the following

  • 20x11.5 Carbon Fiber Rims
  • Carbon Ceramic Brakes
  • Special tuning for the Magneride system
  • Unique exterior badge color
  • Carbon Fiber rear wing
  • Adjustable top strut mounts
  • An Oil Catch Can
  • Manually Adjustable Recaro Sport Seats
  • A Flat Bottom steering wheel
  • Painted brake calipers
  • Rear Seat Delete

Compared to the Base price of a Ecoboost Mustang which is $35,330 after delivery and includes an entire Car.

Ignoring the fact that most of the high equipment package is stuff you would hope comes already included in the $110,000 base price, it's quite impressive we've reached the point on mustangs where option packages can rival the price of an entire vehicle. Yes carbon fiber components are expensive, and likely make up the bulk of the cost here, but it's worth mentioning that a mere 4 years ago, a very similar carbon fiber package for the GT500 cost a relatively paltry $18,500

Muskets like those from 1776 are mostly exempt from today’s gun laws

Thought everyone might get a kick out of this article from the AP. Further evidence that the people most interested in restricting your rights are the least knowledgeable about the subject.

>With 165 grains of black powder in the barrel, a .75-caliber Brown Bess flintlock musket like the ones the redcoats carried in 1776 can hurl a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet (305 meters) per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Now, imagine that it’s almost completely exempt from gun regulations.
