Yep.....and the M5s are 260-270. They just have no upper powerband.

You don't own an LS1, you haven't mentioned anything about buying one and you're not making any contributions or doing any research or learning here so news flash, YOU'RE A TROLL.
PS: It's ok to troll, just don't deny it.

The most overlooked aspect of the s197s is the chassis.I know two loyal ford guys who feel like the fox,sn-95 and new edge needed an overhaul.They say its the best mustang chassis ever, all around.Does anyone think ford makin the Gt's a little slower,is a way to fuel aftermaket sales?I sure do

skidpad numbers? who cares? it's real life performance that matters. are you a benchracer? because you're quoting magazines to me. in real life, i GUARANTEE a corvette is significantly more aerodynamic than the brick on wheels that is the sN197 mustang.
i'm biased? you're the biased one, here. you're defending a car that got its butt handed to it strictly because you're a mustang driver/fan. believe it or not, i actually like new edge mustangs. i like '03-'04 cobras. i think the ford 302 was one of the best sounding engines ever made, along with a 4V 4.6L. i'm just pointing out REALITY here, which some of you are escaping, here.
roush = overpriced junk. this guy would have been much better off buying a GT and supercharging it himself. not only do i bet it would be a lot faster, but he probably would have saved money as well.

a lot of people may come in and say "but the 4V 4.6L is a better FI motor." well, a forged internals LS1 can perform just as well as a 4V 4.6L and it's a helluva lot better N/A giving the edge to the LS1 still
i'm busting your *****, man. take it easy, it's an internet forum. i don't bite

An ignorant, smart-*** question gets an ignorant, smart-*** answer. Your question (if legit) needs more definition for a legit answer. If you were serious, I apologize. It didn't come across as serious.

Well, since the thread was about a "Roush supercharged" mustang I didn't think my question was to far off topic. Since no gm f bodies ever came with a 3v head or a (factory)supercharger, I figured everyone knew what my question was about.
...as for my sig... it is a obvious mockery of people who list pointless, non power-adding mods, to try to sound cool.
