INTERESTING ARTICLE

Thought this was interesting. It is proof that competition is good for all. Time for the Z-28 now so Chevy will have all bases covered.

It's strange I'm not used to seeing a stock Mustang GT and thinking I would need to mod my car to guarantee a win. Ford stepped up this time, you gotta give it to them. Although it's rated 14HP less, the difference in weight will more than make up for that.

GM, it's time to retaliate...

Go to motortrend.com and you'll find Ford is coming out with the Mustang GT350. I never pictured myself driving a Mustang, but the Shelby looks pretty damn good IMO.

Here's the link - http://www.motortrend.com/index.html

Ford is not coming out with the GT350, Shelby is, You have to buy a Mustang GT and then Have Shelby Convert it over to a GT350 for 34K more....

If this article is correct then the 2011 Stang won't have a weight advantage any longer.

Yeah if that's true then bye bye weight advantage. I'm interested in hearing more specs to back this up.
