i hear GM and Ford had a joint venture to make a 6spd automatic trans. They should join up an make a nice v8 motor combining Cubic Inches (GM) and Modular (Ford). Maybe a 6.0 Ltr 4 valve with VVT making 500 in a mustang GT? GM has the LS2 crate motor at around 5K, a 4.6 costs about the same with a 100 less HP. If GM can make big cubic inches out of a small block V8, and have N/A cars with good power, why cant ford do that at a low cost for the mustang? Well, thats a good question that only those guys who build the cars can answer.

funny how people always want the top horsepower when they probably cant even handle the power as a "driver". I think, if you took your car to a technical track (not a drag strip), you will find out that that Mustang is a great car and for minimal upgrades to the suspension, its a pretty good racer. I spent a few dollars on my GT in the suspension dept, and I love the way the car handles. Stright line accleration is almost borring, when you can really test the car's abilities on a track and you can beat cars with more power hands down.. 300HP is a lot of power for most, but remember even if you had 400 or 500, there will be always someone with more power. But can they drive better than you??? I good first mod for most would be some sort of driving school. then you can really appriciate what you have.

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!!

I think if your worried about ricers or other makes beating you in the quarter mile, then buy a Z06 Vette, that should give you a few years before someone gets on your tail. Or if you dont have 65K, then buy a used zo6, they have plenty of power and is very light and can be had for 35K. Or buy a Mustang GT and spend 8K on engine mods and beat everyone on the street. Simple as that.......The mustang is lighter than the Charger or 300C
