When your reaching the performance potential these cars are.....it gets very pricy to extract more and keep the price down.

IMO Mustang looks pretty good in this comparison. Running 87 octane on a green motor not even broken in and it's within 6hp peak.....all while lugging around less weight.

Had a 1995 3000GT VR4 till 2005 when I sold it and bought a 2005 GTO. It was one of my favorite cars I've owned. With just a boost controller set to 14.5psi it ran 13.1@104

Excise tax is one of the reasons I will no longer buy brand new. Not only does a pre-owned buyer save on the depreciation but the excise tax is cut significantly once the car is 2-3 years old.

Adding hp without offering a better contact patch is stupid imo. Time for Ford to put some wider meat on the rear tires. It's already severely traction limited as it is.
