RE: Motor Trend rates Challenger SRT over Shelby GT
ford uses FI because it uses smaller displacement. so in mind the FI is null here because yes it is supercharged but the challenger also have .7 displacement on it. and back in 2000 when ford made the cobra r it put out 386hp/tq i believe so it does no need FI its just easier to do. also ford is rumored to bring the boss 302 back out with a 5.0 that has 425 hp. now that is not supercharged and has a full liter less displacement and makes the same power as the srt.
i do agree that after the 6 speed comes out the two cars will be too close to go on performance. i think the real comparison should be which has more real world power/times. with your basic driving what will they do. i believe the challenger will win here because it is easier to drive a N/A than a FI imo. so the challenger should win a lot of everyday driver races.
