sorry to go off topic but i was reading this article and found this very interesting:
FORD will offer a 2013 Mustang Roush package offering 3 stages(1,2,and 3) but the one that caught my attention is STAGE 3 saying -"Stage 3 puts a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 rated for 565 hp and 505 lb-ft of torque under the hood. The forced induction comes courtesy of an R2300 supercharger featuring Eaton’s TVS (Twin Vortices Series) patented technology." WILL THIS BE 1/4 COMPETITION WITH THE ZL1? and here is the link to the article guys.: http://blog.caranddriver.com/2013-ro...te-april-2012/ |

The more things change, the more they stay the same! The same Dearborn drivel was espouced, winter 69, and how did that turn out? Line 'em up in a paddock, and let's have at it, boys... |

How long till the 2013's get tested, 4-5 months?
At least right now, there is some speculation, but after that, the only argument the 5th Gen will have left is "It looks better." |

I've been watching bone-stock 2011-2012 GT500's on their stock tires run low-low 12's at 118-119 at Gaineville Raceway, so I've gotta think that the "driver's race" is against the 11-12 GT500 stock vs. stock. And these are real-world runs, not bench-racing as we're doing currently with the 2013.
And I HIGHLY DOUBT that Ford's claims for the 2013 Shelby is "Dearborn drivel"... Ford's been under-rating for years now, even the Ford GT was putting over 500hp to the rear wheels on Dynojets with a factory 550hp rating. I doubt they're going to put their foots in their mouths now.. |

And BTW, what was the GT's number @ VIR? 4/10ths on a Z06? TWICE the dough? Now THERE was some Ford Value... |

The only faith I have left is in a team that has consistently "Done it right."
Team Corvette. C7 Z06 in 2014-15 for this guy. |
