Hmm. Im going to go with the GT having a better driver. Even though id guess the SRT caught it down the stretch.

And id MUCH rather have the SRT. Just a cooler car.

DeathChill · 05-27-2009, 12:18 PM

How do we know it's an SRT? I'm not doubting it I am just curious as there's nothing in the video showing this to be true.

MadMaxx · 05-27-2009, 12:21 PM

Ecoboost FTW. I'd rock one in a heartbeat...

comiskeybum · 05-27-2009, 03:26 PM

yeah depending on a few things. i surely would buy an ecoboost mustang if i didnt have the down payment for a 5.0 .

355 hp in a v6 is plenty. i dont care about the whole v8 tradition thing. when your talking 355 hp does it really matter how many cylinders you have? not to me?

dont get me wrong...... 1st choice would be 5.0 but id easily take a ecoboost

lol i got that

The EcoBoost is a hell of an Engine... im skeptical that it can really hold 20+psi of boost without a problem, but the fact that Ford made a 355hp V6 is impressive.

The new mustang, camaro and challenger are (imo) the best they have ever been. No wrong choice here.
