You're so full of shït. That supercharger costs $3699, plus you have to get the $139 Cobra Cool Air Kit, and then you can't run the car on regular gas anymore! To get 616 HP, you need to run 20 PSI boost, but even 92 Octane Premium isn't good enough if you turn the boost up past 15 PSI! Go read the site's FAQ!
And just because that site made a random comment that a Mustang with 700 HP could run 9 seconds doesn't make it true. That claim was made nowhere on the site, it was only mentioned in the PDF file, which was already poorly written and had spelling mistakes.
Why do you keep saying that??? I asked you for proof, and you have none, so I think you'd better shut up. The Z06 has more power, and it's 600 lbs. lighter. Do you know how much 600 lbs. slows a car down?
Maseratis? What doesn't beat a Maserati? Do you honestly think anybody cares if your Mustang can beat a Maserati or a Mercedes SL 55 AMG? I don't see a Viper on that list. I don't see a Corvette on that list. The best thing you can come up with is that your Mustang is only 3 seconds slower than a Ferrari? Care to elaborate? I can peddle a bicycle within 3 seconds of a Ferrari if you make the track short enough. It really shows how desparate you are when you'll just give out random numbers like that without any frame of reference whatsoever.
But of course! A live axle! Yeah, I'll bet that'll just magically make up for having less power and weighing 600 lbs. more.
I know, you want so much to believe that the Mustang is a kick-ass race car, but try taking a step back and looking at the things you're saying. Pull Henry Ford's head out of your ass long enough to see how insane most of your Mustang-related comments are.

First your whole argument for vette being best bang for the buck was that it can keep up with 100,000 dollar ferari's. The F355 is a 125,000 dollar car is it? Well that puts THAT concept to shame.
None of those systems aid performance. How are they relevant to this discussion?Originally posted by Sominon
I also don't see the Wrx comming out with a heads up instrument display, a 10 speaker sound system, double analog fully powered seats, does it come with traction control? Im not to terribly knowledgeable on there interiors.
You'd be surprised what digital fuel and spark management can do for reliability.Originally posted by Sominon
Five hundred out of 4 Cylinder? Yea, but lets see that motor last for over 6 months. Running that kind of boost is hell on a motor, absolute hell.
False.Also, all wheel drive is completely unessecary.
The corvette has perfect weight distribution,/quote]
That it may, but the Subaru's isn't much worse. What's your point?
Did you actually look at the relative weights of the cars?the rear wheel drive system is much lighter,
But you still can't accelerate out of a corner as fast, or powerslide as easily, or dump the clutch at any engine speed you want and still get awesome acceleration, or handle as well on a wet track... the list goes on. Weight aside, AWD owns RWD in the real world.and with correct handeling there is no over/understeer that would cause a need for a heavy AWD system that also drags down horsepower to the wheels.
Because all 4 cylinder motors are crap, right?Originally posted by Sominon
I don't care what fuel management system you got, no 4 cylider motor will last at that heavy of boost, not to mention the ungodful amount of money dumped into a car that for that much could have nearly boguht a viper. (That is if you completely overhaul every part in the engine to make it completely capable and as reliable as possible of having those boost levels.)
My point was not that awd is light so much as the cars are a similar weight, and the Sti isn't a stripped-out lightweight model, as the z06 most certainly is.Also, the WRX STi is a compact car, and a Corvette is a fullsized race car, WRX weight 3153 lbs (According to supercars.net) 3117 Vette... hmmm oh yea your AWD sure is light eh?
Never seen a Skyline at a drag strip, have you?Oh, btw go find a high torqueing 'all wheel drive' car and drop the clutch at 'any' engine speed, and i'll watch your drivetrain go through the air like a cruise missle.
We'll miss you.Anyway im done posting in this thread.
Maybe it's because you didn't read the part where I saidOriginally posted by SubaruWRXsti
The Subaru WRX STI is nice I have one (2003 STi) and I myself am out loud that you are putting them in the same post together.
2003 Subaru WRX STi lists around $32k.
Throw in about $20k worth of mods to bring it up to the price of a Corvette z06...
