Be happy you drive a Mustang and give the GTO owner some sympathy, he has to drive that ugly beater every day [8D]

I grew up in the '67-71 muscle car era and this mustang will beat just about everything that was made back then (stock) including my '70 Chevelle SS396. In fact, old muscle cars are dogs!
See the evidence for the '67 Shelby GT500, '70 Chevelle SS454, '70 Hemi Charger. The new Mustangs do the 1/4 mile in 13.5 secs (5 spd, 3:55 gears).
'67 GT500, 3000 lbs, 355 hp, 1/4 mile 14.6 sec @ 99 mph
'70 Chevelle SS454, 3800 lbs, 450 hp, 500 lb-ft, 1/4 mile 13.7 sec @ 103 mph
'70 Charger Hemi, 3800 lbs, 425 hp, 490 lb-ft, 1/4 mile 13.9 sec @ 105 mph

And get yourself a sticker that makes you feel good while you're at it.

You don't need 400 h.p. to beat the GTO's, I don't have any trouble with them at all. H.P. doesn't mean anything when you start pushing more weight and can't hook up. Same goes for the Dodge barges, the R/T. SRT8's and Magnums. The Corvettes, Terminators, and Vipers give me trouble, but that is soon to be remedied. Gears, udp's, and a good tune and intake will put you in the ball-park against the GTO's. Remember they paid 5,000.00 to 8,000.00 to have aQueer Valier.

Speaking of GTOs and HP stickers, I went on a cruise last Saturday and there was a GTO there with a 435HP sticker on the side of it. We raced from a roll at about 40 to about 100, and he only put about a car on me. I only have SLP LMs on, and I'm doing that well? How heavy are those ****ers?
