I can assure you that anyone cross shopping these cars and looking at data is not going to look at the 140 mph stats. And if you are, you're then looking at GT4 variants. This 'concerning' comment is just ridiculous and nonsensical.

There is no power increase, but they certainly tweaked the suspension to either GT350 specs or perhaps even beyond that. And of course bigger/fatter tires. It will be interesting to see how it stacks up to the 1LE.

Same price basically.

This isn't a surprise at all actually, we already knew the Coyote revs higher and has more usable power at those revs. Good on Ford, they're created a car that pulls away from the Camaro where it matters the least.
