The 2013's have quite a bit more updates then just more power over the 10-12 MY's Revised gearing, 0-65 in first gear and can do the 1/4 in third gear. helps make blistering fast 1/4 mile times because of less shifting and better torque management. Traction control carbon fiber drive shaft whole drive train beefed up better cams better flowing heads track apps torsen limited slip diff bigger brakes better tires HID/LED headlights and tail lights better suspension better aero The cool feeling of knowing you have the most powerful production engine in the world in your car The cool feeling of knowing you have the fastest muscle car ever made and the only one ever to join the very distinct 200 mph club Just to name a few...

I think Ford would be smart enough to find a way to get power to the ground rather than add more HP even with previous GT500 had traction issued when first introduced at 500...why add 160HP and not fix traction issues?

To all the Fearless Ford Fanatics:
Did you see how Greg Anderson's Pro Stock Camaro's comin' along? http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219393 Let's see now, NHRA Pro Stock, the penultimate door-slammer naturally aspirated drag race Class has WHO from Ford winnin' Championships for 'em? Let's see...no, Dyno Don died...Glidden retired...Kaase builds BOSS '9s for fat kat carshow guys...Roush found the pot o' GOLD (just like Ol' Shel did, 20 years before the Kat in the Hat) and crashes...er...flies planes for fun... NOPE! Other than Force runnin' Chysler knock-off fueler Funnies, and Brent Hajek buyin' up all the initial Cobra Jets (cuz he can, you know?!), ol' Mark Fields is kinda out in LEFT FIELD...and would be further out, were it not for his good buddy Craig Jackson to make him aware of what resto-mods (if it's a Ford: rusto-mods) and charity cars are REALLY worth... I think Craig's taken poor Fields on as a Charity case...just as long as the FoMoCo check clears... Thank God and Greyhound for Ron Pratte! NASCAR: God, if only David Pearson was still racin'... Ah, at least they still have World Rally...oh wait... |

Commits weekly crime
|
The Mustang might have a better 1/4 mile time based on Power/Weight, but I seriously doubt it will come close to the ZL1 on the twisties.
There's a reason we still haven't seen any Nurburgring times. When Ford posts those, then we can talk. Because, the ZL1 is a track car, not a 1/4 mile car...it's what it was made for. The MRS will blow away ANY suspension the mustang has, and as long as the Mustang continues to have no IRS...it's game over on the twisties. C'mon Ford...quit hiding and post your Nurburgring time/video.

The convertibles don't get all the goodies that the coupe has. I love that white with the black stripes. You rarely see that combo. I gave the mustang a bad rap in the past ,but you would have to be walking around with blinders on to not think Ford created something special here. I am really in awe of it at the moment. It looks like it wants to eat you ,and it has to ponies to back up it's means look. |

Anybody can take a Saturday Nite local-track jalopey, strap a JATO rocket to it, sneak into OMP, run a really fast time, 'n say, "I'm KING of the WORLD!"
It's STILL a jalopey...Found On Road (just beyond the apex of Curve #1) DEAD! |
