But I honestly hope that day doesn't come for a very long time. Until then I will be happy with my 96Z and my 97 escort lol.

It must be true
500hp is some good HP and the new Shelby GT is the fastest and most powerful yet that Ford has made.
My 300hp car goes 150mph+ and can kill someone just as easy...I think 500hp is plenty, I don't care what anyone says.
But saying "500hp aint much anymore" sounds like youre talking from year 2016.

I don't know man, there are an aweful lot of cars now making over 500+ at the wheels, and also a lot well in excess of that. It's not an every day thing but it is much more common than say 6 or 7 years ago. It seems like almost everyone now has some sort of FI. Just my $.02 though.

Nitto Drag Radials are not your average street tires. There is a night an day difference. Not to mention the one is a 6 speed, and the other a racecar!

it takes 85k and 750hp to go 11.3 in the 1/4??? does it turn better than it goes straight? i might not be seeing the advantage of buying from hpe on this one except for the name...id rather have a stock C6Z or viper than spend that much on the stang...thats almost twice the cost of a stock gt500 for a little over a second off the 1/4 and 250hp more...not worth it...looks ok though
