It says in the article. The new intake and cams are tuned to maximze power in the upper band. This car is designed as a track car for the street so low-end torque doesn't matter as much... it's all about making power in the top end which is where the engine is going to spend most of it's time. :tup:

ah thanks for clearing that up, i dont like to read much, i'm a numbers guy :tup:

No prob.

Also keep in mind, when you test the car you'll feel more body roll than the Z (obviously). Sways will clear that right up. :tup:

Been seeing a lot of new Stangs out and about. I have to admit that they sound great and the look is appealing. I've thought about going to the dealership and looking at one up close.

Those seats are awesome.

I love the guages too. I always hated the retro guages on the regular models.

I'm not a huge fan of its interior, aesthetically. I agree the seats are a nice touch. And while I'm not a big fan of retro gauges, I don't think this is much of an improvement.

Still, you're paying for the performance. The rest matters very little.

I am going to murder your opinion.

Three words: Solid Rear Axle

While this car will easily outhandle much of its competition, the euro or asian fanboi will always cite this.

You call out my opinion, you get the SRA card. :bowrofl:

That picture is of the "Leguna Seca" edition. That's a more balls to the wall model than the true street, Boss 302. I don't know if the normal Boss 302 has those.

Gotcha. Probably not.

I love this Mustang.

I don't know what to do about this. My mind wants to hate itself.
