Default RE: *ahem* Found this on the 'stang forums

That is just some idiots brain ramble but it does bring up a good discussion. The stang boys are playing with their toys while we wait and continue to save, lol.

Mustang GTs are somewhat small cars, I don't think being a big, tall guy that I would fit or be comfortable in one anyway, they are light and it helps.

From what I here, the Shelby 500 can not put that hp on the road. It is to much powerful for those tires and maybe the car is to light. It is just a burnout when accelerating on the street.

I believe the Challenger SRT-8 will be a rocket. The size and weight of the car may help transfer the 425 hp to the road. The dyno test on the 6.1 hemi is supposed be estimated low at 425 and is actualy more, i have heard whispers of closer to 500! If the car is indead a pig it will hurt but if it is lighter than the Charger and packs a bit more punch with the intake system, then watchout. This car will motor and that hemi matched with a manual could be a lethal mixture for muscle and performance.
