    BEFORE THE FLAME...Know that I like mustangs...love them in fact

    However...to compare this to a Zr1 is not an accurate comparsion...Maybe in a straight line it will match performance..however I do not believe that even w/850hp that it will come close to what the Zr1 has done on the Nur or even Laguna Seca...the ZR1 has just beaten the Viper that was built to beat it ....the viper has brand new tech while the ZR1 is working off of 5-6 year old tech...just shows you how advanced it was...


    No matter how much HP you put into a car...weight and suspension are still factors that need to be addressed....and when both cars are crazy fast it becomes an even bigger deal.

    Its a nice Gt500...more HP...wide stance..bigger tires/wheels....but a ZR1 it will never be....or beat overall IMO.

    Agree 100%. The Mustang is not a sports car. Doesnt matter how much hp you throw at it. They can handle well for what they are but to compare them to a 2 seat sports car is a little out there. Good thing I could care less about "The Ring" times

    With a CAI, TB and tune It picked up over 60rwhp. Doesnt take much to open these cars up. Ford has been leaving a lot on the table for you to play with since the 2003 Cobra.
