Or are we thinking different drivetrains??
that may be true, and i admittedly didnt think of that like i should have. but id still rather have the mustang drive train. one simple reason why i still hold to my comment, and why i made it in the first place. the rear end on the fbody is shit. the mustangs 8.8 basically isnt going to break, the 10 bolt 7.5" on the fbody, as stig well knows sucks balls. so yeah, id rather have a 5 speed with a rear that wont grenade on me. and i also wasnt including the engines in that comparison either, obviously that changes things. gotian was saying that the hp doesnt make the car more expensive but the superior drivetrain and suspension do. it seems to me in that thought that the engine is being considered separately.
