Default 5.0 VS 6.0

So yesterday I was cruising down woodward and I saw this hatchback 5.0 and a 2005/2006 GTO pull up side by side to the left of me. I kinda thought the 400 HP GTO was going to smoke the stang but I was damn surprised. They started from a roll and as far as I could see it was neck and neck!

Just had to share the story with ya'll

They arnt built for straight line. Theyre heavy, and have IRS. You can hang with them going straight, but turn a few times and see who comes out on top.

I wouldnt be surprised if the numbers claimed by GM were under-rated. They are actually fast cars for the weight.

Remember they have the old vette motor. LS2 is a powerhouse.

I'm guessing he just let off because if he wanted to smoke you.. he could..
