Add in the Z28 and GT500 at roughly the same HP rating. I think its going to be a very big problem then. Mostly because they'll need to start finding solutions for the very big problem of being unable to handle that much HP at the wheels without very expensive suspension and tires.
Exactly man, it kinda goes along with that old saying in the workplace about crap rolling downhill. In the case of crank hp, it rolls towards the tires. I've heard quite a few people mention having issues with the clutches in the 2011 Mustang GT. If it is a design flaw or an issue with managing power, I'm quite certain Ford will address it. Very good point about having to beef up the rest of the components so as to be able to transfer that power.
