Nice kill. It isn't totally impossible and he could have been going easy or a poop head driver. HP is about the same but they have lots of TQ.

It's not. The 99-04 GT's have 50 more HP than you guys do.

I had an 89 GT convertible and as I recall the HP was very similar to my 05 V-6. I think the 89 GT had more torque, but my V-6 feels like it has very similar power to the 89.

I don't race my cars, but I do like having the power.
