97+ GTP vs. 5.0L Mustang

[richtazz]

you can already get a bone stock 12 second car, it's called the Corvette Z06

Yeah, but when was the last time you could buy a Shelby?

alright guys,
in protection of the mustangs, my friends father has a whippled 02 gt and other goodies that is now pushin close to 700 and can do the quarter mile close to 10 flat, AND is still street driveable. in protection of the GTPs, i work at an engine shop and we are currently installing a Stattama turbo and i/c on a 97 gtp that wil b havin close to 400 hp and in the 12s. we are also putting in a CSC NOVI 2000 on another gtp that the owner wants running 11s flat. so needless to say he has money to spend.
In short, i love mustangs and GTPs. both cars have balls when modded. But there will always be someone faster, and you dont see too many mustangs driving with snow on the ground.

I have beaten my share of Mustang GT's...some stock and some modded....the difference is that the GTP or Regal GS get the max HP and tourqe at a much lower RPM...the Mustang Gt has to redline to get the max...and alot of GT drivers dont know how to shift a m/t...Dollar for Dollar GTP owners could spend alot less money to get more bang for their buck than a Ford GT...Best part is after a GS or GTP toasts a Ford GT on the way to the airport...THe GS or GTP can still pick up 5 passengers and there luggage and not hear a complaint from the back that its too small
