huh???

speaking of rally racing, anybody ever look up the hp specs for the old Group B cars??? some of the lower hp cars were stupidly fast. like the Renault 5 Turbo. they only made around 280rwhp (while the monsters from Audi were making north of 500awhp) and still were competitive.

This thread kills me.

A tiny under powerd FWD car with skinny snow tires is going to be more forgiving in snow and ice.

As for the 'rumors', I have a hard time believing Ford will match the previous years GT power numbers *hp wise* with a v6 the very next year.

Who know's what Ford will do... Who would have thought they would go with a twin turbo motor period... Times are a changing.

I love the current V6 owners and the "Oh you current GT owners will be sorry for making fun of V6's!" when the new V6 doesn't instantly bestow its power on previous models.
