Can't really compare a mustang a lotus. Two TOTALLY different platforms of racecars.

I strongly disagree with you my friend. On the contrary a true show of speed is the full ability: Power, handling, braking. Even though the Shelby has a lot of the first it has non of the second and third. The roush has all three. What good is a fast car if you're only fast in a straight line? Its like i have a lot of mustang friends in this Mustang Mafia club here in CO. My friend has an 04 Roush stage 2 with 75 mm TB & UI and a tuner and thats it. When we play around on the street he always gets his arss handed to him by all the other guys in bolt on GT's. When we cruise up to the mountians me and him just leave everyone in the dust. We raced up "the pass" (the road i have to drive everyday to get to work and back) with two 03 cobra's and just ate them alive. I we were swinging around corners and my tires were'nt even close to breaking loose and even making noise and those cobras were squeeling and jumping all over the place. Thats why i hate IRS. The almighting cobra couldnt keep up with the 2v's. Me and the Roush went at it too and he broke out before it did 
and he bought a car thats built for handling and i paid half the price for my car and put some money into it and still smoked a track built car around the corners. (I have tubular upper and lower control arms, full length weld in subframes, tower bar, performance springs 2 1/4" drop, etc) Fun stuff.

I could be wrong but I think he was referring to the driver of the mustang not driving it correctly... in the corners it seemed that he was not controlling the car like he should and consistently spinning the wheels which resulted in him swinging the back end of the car out which would drop his lap times down.. if the car was more controlled then it may of stood a better chance..

i know what the hell are you saying? i was saying that its stupid that all he does is drift around corners. i said nothing about only being fast in a straight line.

I was pretty sure that's what you were saying... and to that I agree.

Nice post of the videos. I don't understand the quarrel on the video pages' comment space. BIG SURPRISE that a British Go-Kart can take out a white stripped American Ocean-Liner in the turns and twistys.
