HAHAHA! Eat that Ford! My 08 DMAX will still hand it to the 6.7.... keep trying or go back the the international 7.3 powerhouse.

I love it! Ford even upped it's numbers and it got spanked! I wonder how the chevy would do with a nice tune!

The 2011 mustang is still faster.

I don't think so. The idea was to see which was better when towing 18,920 lbs. So to make it an honest comparison you'd need to add that the same trailer weight to the Mustang. I don't think it would do very well with the front wheels lifted off the ground, and possibly flat rear tires.

LOLWUT.

For our next comparison, we'll find out who will go faster around the Nurburgring, a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 or a 1981 Ford Escort.

That's not fair beause of the dual rear wheels .

You're the one that wanted to compare a Mustang to a pair of HD pickups

Thanks for this thread. I didn't see this test. I'm looking for a truck like this right now. I was told that the ford was the way to go these day's in trucks like this ,but I will definitely be going to check out the HD Chevy now.

Well since we're making irrelevant comparisons, The Corvette, 911 turbo s, any lambo, viper, A-10 warthog , F-16 and much much more are faster than the mustang. So, What's your point?
