I wasn't bitching about the horsepower, I was just saying that for my tastes, 585 would be great with a lighter, more balanced car that solved the handling problems.

I assure you that if SVT would have gone all the way with solving the suspension and chassis issues and was also able to still upgrade the engine and produce 662HP, I would be a huge fan of that reality. Erik

I'd be a huge fan too, just unable to afford it.

We can debate to our hearts content, but these are still cars that are expensive for American pony cars, but bargains for the showroom performance they offer.
