Don't get me wrong I like the SHO.... I guess I'm so used to crap interior, poor quality and lack of comfort that I dont see the curb weight as a benefit for me. Haha

Great runs op!

I test drove a 2010 SHO a few years back and those things drive so smooth with those twin turbos. On the highway, it felt way faster than my 08 GT when it was only NA. Would be interesting if they ever made a larger turbo upgrade for those cars..

It's because they stuff so much stuff on cars nowadays. I still remember my 2011 Charger RT AWD walk through with a salesman...

Front and rear side curtain air bags, navigation system, back up camera system, puddle lights, heated/cooled cup holders, blind spot detectors, signals on side mirrors, giant sun roof, 10 speaker sound system, amplified subs etc. etc..

a twin turbo Ecoboost 3500lb. Mustang GT would be bad *** indeed!

I want to see a real sport version of the new Fusion with this motor, instead of just wheels and rockers.

I also had no idea these were mid 13 second cars stock.
