Yeah, you need to add spoiler to the title and get on with it. I don't get the magazine and now I am going to have to go out and look instead of reading you thread in the comfort of my own home.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to take the stang.

Damn - I was just trying to give you guys a heads up to the article assuming most of you are car guys and get Motor Trend. Guess not. Anyway, they (Motor Trend) took 4 stangs and did all the usual power/handling/quarter milecomparisons. I don't see a link to the article on their website, or I'd post it. The most interesting part to me was the dyno results:

Stock GT - 262 RWHP
Roush Stage 2 - 261 RWHP
Saleen S281-3v - 277 RWHP
Shelby GT-C - 273 RWHP

Their conclusion was that at 12-15K less than the 3 "tuner Mustangs" as they called them, the stock GT was the best buy.

If you want to read the entire article, get you cheap asses to a newstand and pick up a copy.

Nope - not unless you like the pretty pictures! Forgot to mention, the quarter mile times were virtually identical (don't have mag in front of me or I'd give you all the times) with the stock GT only running 2/10ths slower than the Roush/Saleen/Shelby.

I'd like to see them test a Stage 3 Roush, vs a Saleen Supercharged, vs a Shelby GT/SC, vs a GT. Everyone knows those tuner cars are just apperance mods/posers with each respective mark's entry level version.

Tip of the Month, October: Do not buy the $730 Roush Exhaust which a Mangnaflow rep says costs to $117 make (polished, all ss), buy the $170 Roush Exhaust Tips estimated to cost $46 to make and weld them to another company's muffler. This also lets you choose how your car sounds.
