Talking about the weight of cars, look at what GM has done with the corvette over time. Maybe someone with more corvette knowledge can tell me, but I'm pretty sure the c6's are as light as they have been since the c1 came out. So obviously GM knows how to keep the weight down and still add luxory items like nav, heated memory seats etc. I'm not even talking about the Z06 or Zr1, the regular C6 is what, 3300-3400lbs?

 

Yeah.. I guess.

But it will still be a girlie V6!

 

Less than that, base weight for a C6 coupe is now listed as 3217 pounds, it was only 3179 pounds for a base 2005-2007.

 

lol. more girls drive v8 mustangs than v6 fbodies

 

One of my friend owns a dealership and let me thrash a new GT for a weekend... Very nice car. Needs a good clutch, a good shifter and 100 more horse.

Ford built a great car, I just wish they had the ***** to put a real motor under the hood.

 

I don't like the clutch either, the Shelby GT has a better shifter.

The motor could use a little umphhh.. but the gov't has thier rules.

 

Just found on Edmonds (Bullitt -v- Challenger)


The Bullitt sprinted to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds (5.1 seconds with 1 foot of rollout like on a drag strip), while the Challenger made the trip in 5.1 seconds (4.8 seconds with 1 foot of rollout like on a drag strip). The quarter-mile arrived in 13.2 seconds at 107.5 mph. The Challenger is substantially quicker to 60 mph than the almost identical Charger SRT8, and we think the Challenger's optional Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires make the difference.

It took only a couple of runs to get the most from the Mustang. Once you coordinate the clutch and throttle to get just the right amount of wheelspin, the Bullitt delivers times that are so easily repeatable that we'd recommend it as an ideal bracket racer. Five consecutive quarter-mile times were separated by just 0.09 second, and we ultimately recorded 13.7 seconds at 103.0 mph.
