Really if so why do you seem so in the dark about Mustangs. They have more advantages on F-Bodies than weight. Yes a 280 rwhp Fox is going to be faster than a 300 rwhp F-body. Probably not from a 100-150 mph roll, Ill give that but its going to out 1/4 mile. You can put a slick on both if you like.

No, I'm not calling you a liar....it may be true for you. But, for me and others I know and see on the net, it's not true.

If you don't agree to this, you are trying to debate things that I never said, or claimed.
