For the record, Paladin - I simply do NOT believe you. I will, however, become a believer if and when I get the CRAP kicked out of me by an SRT8. Needless to say I ain't holdin' my breath...
PS: Notice how I did not even bother mentioning the R/T?

For the record I've kicked the CRAP out of four GT Mustangs so far and my car only has 760 miles on it.
BEENO baby cmon man your better than this. This test was done by edmunds. They are the worste testers out there and everyone on here and even on the camaro forum agree.
IF THIS DOESNT GET YOU TO BELIEVE PALADIN THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET AN 09 STANG WITH THE CUTE LITTLE CLEAR GLASS ROOF.
OK HERE WE GO:
THE OLD RT WITH 340HP AND HAS BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE NOW DOES 0-60 IN 5.5-5.6 CONSISTENTLY WITH A CRAPPY AUTO.
EDMUNDS TESTED THIS NEW RT ENGINE RATED AT 376 HP AND 400LB OF TQ TO DO 0-60 IN 6.1 AND 5.9 WITH A STICK!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, THERE IS NO WAY A CAR WITH MORE HP AND MORE TQ AND SAME OR LESS WEIGHT WILL GO SLOWER.....
UNLESS ..........
YOU READY BEENY?
ITS BEING TESTED BY A BIAS AND CRAPPY CAR MAGAZINE THAT DOESNT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THESE CARS.
THIS IS THE SAME MAGAZINE THAT TESTED THE CHARGER SRT8 AND GOT 0-60 IN 5.5..............5.4 WHEN EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHERS WERE GETTING 5 AND UNDER AND AVERAGE 4.8.
SO WHAT IS THE LIGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS? EDMUNDS BLOWS AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED NOR CAN ANY OTHER MAGAZINE. IT NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN BY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DRIVE IT.......ENTHUSIAST LIKE US.
BEENO dont believe that the rt beat a stang stock in a race...but you better believe that a srt8 stock beat a gt stock. If not then there is no convincing you.
sorry for caps.
