LOL. What are you talking about? You do realize that there has to be something not to acknowledge in the fiorst place...right? So, show me a post where anybody pointed out anything factual about hrsepower and I refused to acknowledge it? Can you even follow the stuff you type?
Tell me again, what was the title of this thread? Again, as for the redirection to weight, I suggest to you talk to the home team about that.
I thought you didn't want to talk about weight?
So, you are complaining about issues other than horsepower being dicussed within this thread, but admit to being the one who brought the weight issue up in the first place?
As for airbags, when the topic of weight was broached within this very thread, apparently by you, 'safety' was brought up as the reason why the car would get heavier soon thereafter.
Being the kind soul that I am I merely pointed out that the Mustang already meets every safety requirement it is going to need to meet for the next several years, and as such I brought up the extreme likelihood that all that will be needed to finish the job are a pair of rear seat headbags.
So, if weight is going to kill the Mustang's power advantage, and if safety is the reason that weight will go up, then we can only assume that...if a pair of small airbags are all that is needed to rememdy the dreaded 'safety issue', those must be some really heavy airbags.
Of course, I could just sum this up for you quickly. For 2011 the base Mustang gets a new engine that outpowers the V6 mill in the Camaro by every measurable standard, despite the lack of DI, and will do so while resideing under the hood of a car which is considerably lighter than is the Chevy. However, since GM claimed that the Camaro is the whale that it is because of safety features, GM fans assumed that the Mustang somehow must not meet those same standards and will therefore magically gain four tons of mass prior to the 2012 model year.
Unortunately, GM snowed you. The Camaro is heavy because it is based on a full size car platform, not because of safety features.
There will be no weight gain for the V6 Mustang, and there may even be weight loss, further stretching the power to weight ratio advantage in favor of the Ford.
You try to be nice to some people, but they just can't stand it.
