LOL, do you understand the concept of marketing a product? The long post earlier in this thread explained pretty well why all car companies would want to post up a 'Ring time. 
Hmmmm....I believe the last time Ford put out a high performance Mustang before a major platform change we got the Terminator Cobras. Doing the same on the eve of another chassis change seems to be par for the course at Ford. Not sure why you find it so hard to believe? |
Yeah of course the C6 Corvette has some outdated parts too afterall it was released the EXACT same year as the current generation Mustang in 2005 with both cars having gone through numerous revisions. I'm compairing it because I dont see it running as fast as a ZR-1 Corvette would thats why but we will see. If Ford can muster up some performance tech we will find out once we have the numbers. The fact that the Mustang is lighter in weight helps it out alot already. The current Mustang GT500 is in many peoples opinions one of the slowest 500hp cars out there due to the fact it cant hook its tires up and put power to the rear wheels. Bigger tires will help it hook better but it will need more tech like the ZL1 has to help it hook better. I'm not trying to hate on the Shelby GT500 but it seems like almost every video where they put the GT500 against a similar rated car the other car seems to always win. In fact I havent seen one video where a factory powered car that had the same power it beat. The CTS-V videos I saw one where the CTS-V won and I saw another comparison between the two where they were almost even.
