the thing that gets me at dealerships is that alot of them say that we have a 3.8 engine and then when i say no its a 4.0 they try to correct me like im wrong.

the mustang isnt going to keep up with the bugatti..... not even close
Im almost positive will_c was kidding bout his story. The bugatti will have 1001 HP from a W16 and will be the fastest production car ever made, which it should be for a price of 1.3 million. It has a top speed of 272 mph, and a 0-60 time of less than 2.5 seconds.

...itll be my next car, just not sure what color I want. Blue and black or red and black?...they only come in two, no sreaming yellow here.

i can take gt's at the track up to bout 40 or 50mph, but gearing has a lot to do with that. Also the sticky tires.... suspension.. haha.

Too bad its coincidentally the UGLIEST production car ever made since the citroen from the 1960s. Looks like i saved a million bucks.

Not a chance, i have the exact same car and my bro in law has an 06 gt, and even with all the bolt ons there are the stock gt will still out run ours 6's, i cant beleive bolt ones will allow u to "take" a gt, not a chance.

Not a chance? tell that to the gt's i go to the track with that dont pass me until 200-400 feet left to go. My car runs consistent 14.5's Most of the manual/auto gt's that are stock around here are running 14.0-14.5 because we have ****ty gas in arizona, and our track is 1243feet. At sealevevl my car would be running 14.34-14.4, and even better if i could get some real gas, not mtbe or ethonal crap. Remember, the gt's have upper end like crazy compared to our 6's. The gears help me out a lot in the 0-60mph department. I've cut 2.01 60' times, when most gt's are in the 2.2 or 2.3, so that means they are playin catch up from the getgo. Yes, a gt CAN go 0-60 in 5.1, but look around, who's actually done it? Everyone i know with a stock gt was struggling to get 5.5's some even to get IN the 5's. Stock i got a 6.7, then with intake and sct2 i got a 6.36. Havent done it since that, but combine the mods i have now (lca's, DR's, UCA, short shifter, gears, posi traction, headers, exhaust, dynotune, etc etc) im pretty sure up to 40 or 50 (which is all i claimed) im just as fast if not faster than a stock gt.
