Mustang HP vs Other Vehicles

Before I start the topic I do want to say that I am very pleased with the performance of my 05 V6. And from reading this forum I am sure the GT is awesome. Plus there is no way I would trade my Mustang for anything else.

Okay that said, let me ask - Did it seem like on Sunday's coverage of the International Auto Show that everything that was around 4.0 and 4.6 had more HP than the Mustang? Did Ford mess up by not making the engines just a little more powerful? I think they did. It doesn't seem right to have such a good looking car that reminds everyone of the Muscle Car Days that might can be outran by a soccer mom in a minivan or SUV.

as i await the arrival of my gt, i am getting pounded by my gm and mopar buddies..."just wait until i get my challenger/camaro!!".."you should have waited for the new gto body style/camaro/fire-chicken"...IT MAKES ME THIINK I JUMPED THE GUN ON MY MIDLIFE CRISIS CAR!!...i'm sure the mustang will have respectable power, but how much do i have to invest in mod's to beat a gto or a stock challenger(i know..if they build it)...like i said in previous threads, ford should have offered more options like a 350h.p. boss...its obvious we would have paid extra for it....ford will probably respond to the camaro and the challenger by boosting the h.p on the 2008 models..then our cars will be devalued as the weaker early efforts...you can put all the mods on you want , but that just lowers your resale..stock h.p. holds value...I JUST HOPE I DON'T WISH I WAITED ...
First Of All Lets Get One Thing Straight....i'm An Old School "what Does It Do In The 1/4 Mile?" Kind Of Guy...in The End Thats What It Comes Down To...i Own Two Old Street Legal Show Quality Pontiacs Both Of Them In The Mid 13's...i Am Looking For A Combination Of Everything In This Car...1/4 Mile, Classic Looks, Comfort, Resale, And Collectability...the Handling Is A Bonus...face It, Evryone Of You Has Every Car On The Road Pulling Up Next To You At Traffic Lights Pointing Fingers!..hey I Know The Mustang Is A Great Combination Of All Of These, Thats Why I Ordered It...i Have Also Come To The Relization That There Will Be Ricers Which Blow My Doors Off...but The Fact That Chysler Can Get So Much Out Of Its Hemi While Ford Sits On The 4.6 Is Beyond Me...if The Challenger Costs 8k More So Be It, You're Getting That Much More Car...did You See The Challengers Engine Compartment! How About 13.0 1/4 Mile..174 Top Speed..if These Numbers Don't Give You Penis Envy Than You Either Don't Have A Pulse, You Can't See Past That Pony Shaped Glaze Covering Your Eyes, Or You Better Refill That Viagra Script!!
