Thats all a matter of opinion on ones personal preference. I just dont get how, and why when a vehicle is running the same times, and performance as the vehicles i listed in the inital post, according to you its a joke and its shitty blah blah. Im not a ford guy at all, but i respect the new 5.0 and know its a fast car and i know what its capable of. The new 392 platform stock for stock is probably a little faster but its so close it should just be said its a "drivers race". Yet you find every reason to dog the new 392 platform in anyway you can when you have a 9 year old 13 second mach 1 thats worth maybe $10,000 on a good day. Your one sidedness is out of controll and just makes you look arrogant and retarded.

Go ahead, point out my Mach 1 that is almost 10 years old. Point is it is that old and it STILL steps up to the plate with a 281cid N/A motor.
I'll give props when it is due but IMO it's not going to Dodge. If you disagree..that's fine. We can agree to disagree.

what the ****? i come into a thread with srt8, whipple gt, and 5.0 in the title to see a bunch of **** about a ******* beretta? cool car, though.
sounded like the 5.slow started in too high of a gear and pussyfooted it from there. i thought the factory rev limiter was like 7k or something.
the whipple car - really nothing to say, the vid speaks for itself.
nice charger. good death/kill on the muffdangs.

No what I said isn't a matter of opinion. The Charger, Challenger, and 300 are NEVER talked about. You see them in a magazine going up against a GT500 only to get abused by the Ford. The 392 is the best of the best of the best Dodge has to offer and it BARELY if at all can out do a ******* Mustang GT of the same year. I won't even point out that the Mustang GT has 302cid vs the Dodge's 392cid. And hell, that is Ford's base V8. Put the 392 up against a Boss, Boss L, or a GT500 and see what happens. So you tell me, how is it impressive? The fact that it can be easier for a Mom with a car seat over the Mustang? Well, I'll give you that...

The best you can come up with is compare a 2003 N/A Mustang to a 2012 Dodge? Why not compare it to a 2012 N/A Mustang?

Any car that can run mid 12's at 113+ out of the showroom is respectable. So, the ford does it with cloth seats, no power accessories and at 3400 lbs. The dodge does it with full power everything, big sofa seats, full nav, etc etc. So what? Ford did it their way and dodge did it their way with a fat *** and gut. Who cares? They both perform well, look very nice and are modern muscle cars. It is what it is.

I liked those cars Mike, the quad four was a stout performer in that day.....It would whoop the **** out of the honda's back then and most of them today.
Hey Hugger, we had a turbo sunbird at a used car lot I worked at back in the day. That thing rocked, it would'nt hardly hook up in 1st or 2nd gear.
I don't know why GM seemingly abandoned that market. They had it all over the foreign **** back then.
