Especially on that used market. Intakes and X pipes are going for dirt cheap.

Well, from what I've heard/read, we can make some of that up by the 2nd set of cat removal ......... which would be even cheaper than the above

I too am glad that Ford stepped up, and figured that they would.....hope this gets GM's attention - could make things very interesting for the 7th Gen

All this discussion highlights the problem with 0-60 times. Not easy to launch a rear-wheel drive car with this much power and achieve a consistent 4- or sub-4-second time.

Until I do, you're right with that statement.
Do Shelby's gain decent power from cams? Never looked into it.

I agree that highlighting 0-60 times without 1/4 mile is a bold move from Ford, because if it doesn't perform in the 1/4 they will look really stupid.

No idea. Haven't researched it myself.

No they wouldn't. They would only if they advertised a 1320' time and it failed to perform or had a very hard time matching what they did advertise, like the 5th Gen ZL1.

S550 is fun, I actually like the Chinese transmission, like a tight rifle bolt. But... Buhhhuhuhuhuuuuut... The mustang is not as fast as the camaro, even with the hp bump, pork wins races, and the camaro still has like 30 more pounds of PORK.


"But de moostang has 5 more hp, and it's .08 seconds faster 0-60!"

Yeah, that's if you have the auto, performance pack, track pack, butt plug edition with spinners. And I bet it will still lose in the 1/4 and on the racetrack. That'll cost ya 50k, might as well buy the gt350 if you want to spend that kind of money on crowd control.

You gonna be mad if the 2018 GT beats the auto camaro SS worth less pork and more body fat.
