So to me even with all the improvements the mustang is still a straight line monster. Also, i don't like the looks at all.

So the Z outperforms the 5.0 in all categories besides 1/4 mile at $8k less. If you throw that 8 grand into a turbo or supercharger set-up it would beat the mustang in a straight line.

I do like what ford has done tho. Those will be making 450+ whp with bolt-ons. But I'd never own one.
