2011 Mustang GT... I think I need to re-think my next car

The Mustang only weighs about 200-300lbs more than the Z right?

Around 3600 lbs. But with 412 Hp, that yeilds 8.7 lbs per hp, a very respectible number.

I think that would be a good idea as an option. Ya know, offer the base, the SP, SP/Touring, Nismo, then BOX package (Balls Out Extreme)

Or maybe even the 370FMG (Face Melting Goodness)

Shows a guy in a commercial cruising along, nice and quiet with his bose and nav and all happy, then a passenger accidentally hits the window switch and a vacuum sucks everyone from the car... then the heading marquees across the screen "The 370FMG, IT WILL MELT YOUR FACE"

What was the reason the S-Snake lost.....was it just because the snake couldn't hook up? If that was the reason then I wouldn't claim that as a win that would consistently happen if thenake ran the right tire configuration.

Ford had to step up to the plate due to the competition and managed to do it in spades.
Leaped past the camaro??

Having owned an S197 GT, I followed that car and all of its variants religiously. Maybe its a matter of personal preference. Saying I know nothing though, please...
