Default RE: Comparison Test: Ford Mustang Shelby GT vs. 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

In fairness Albeeno, this was not a fair or accurate match up. Generally a 300hp I4 car will beat a 300hp V8 car due to the weight difference between the two cars. If Ford would have dropped in a different engine for the Shelby GT such as a NA 5.4L it would likely have won in the acceleration matches, but smaller cars with AWD are more nimble and can do things that a traditional muscle car cannot do.
