A 5.4 supercharged Mustang with 500 horsepower...
can't put up better numbers than the last generation Cobra
I just saw the latest Car & Driver and was so damn pissed off.
2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

Under full human control, we shaved 0.1 second from the 60-mph sprint, lowering it to 4.5 seconds. The quarter-mile required only 12.9 seconds at 112 mph, 150 mph came in 30.3 seconds, and an electronic tether limited top speed to 155 mph.

Sure it weighs a lot, but the last SVT Mustang Cobra we tested [“Rotary Revival,” C/D, April 2003] posted the same quarter-mile time and speed despite a 20-percent-worse power-to-weight ratio (110 fewer horses, 216 fewer pounds).

What happened to the "mid-11s and 0-60 under 4 seconds" from a couple of months ago? What in the hell is this? It has 500 horsepower and can barely make a 12.9!?!?!
This is probably the biggest let down of all time. After all the hype and stuff that surrounded this car, it barely beats the last Cobra.
