The s197 has been out for years, yes. The engine and transmission are entirely new. It still took the ls1 until 2004 to do it despite the fact that the fbody had been around for years before 1998. Look, I'm not taking away from the fact that fbodies have done it and they are an extremely impressive platform that KILLED the mustang for years, you are just making a statement that insinuates this achievement is eclipsed even by the ls1 f-bodies, which is just untrue. What do you think this car would have run at 2650 lb race weight with a super loose stalled auto, because that's what it took for the first bolt on f-body to do it along with many, MANY more bolt ons than this mustang is equipped with. Like I said, I'm just keeping the facts straight.
