Default Horsepower wars....

The war continues........

2013 Mustang:

"The biggest change comes at the top, where the Ford Shelby GT500 gets 100 extra ponies under the hood, giving the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 650 hp and 600 lb.-ft of torque — more than any Camaro, Corvette or even the Ferrari 458 Italia. Every part of the Shelby was tweaked in some fashion to handle the power riot, along with a launch control system for better controlled top-speed starts. The only thing not included are the numbers of local bail bondsmen."

Good for Ford! Let them enjoy the spotlight because we all know Chevy has something up their sleeve!

Personally, I can appreciate all kinds of cars and the Mustang is a very good looking car. Sure, it's still a lead sled but if they did not cheapen the brand by making a much cheaper 6 cylinder version that's look essentially identical to the V8 I would consider putting one in my stable.

Don't get me wrong, a Mustang would never replace my Corvette... I just appreciate American muscle.

Bring back the RS200 (and stick a v8 in it) and Ill consider buying a ford. Until then, they could strap a saturn V rocket engine to a mustang, and I wouldnt give a damn.
