I will look quite old against a Ferrari 599GTO, Porsche 911 or Audi R8
### Yikes, that Audi R8 sells for $184,000 canadian dollars. It comes with a
525 hp motor...[ 5.2L 8700 rpm, normally aspirated V-8]
For a little less, you can get the 430 hp version for 'only' $155,500
Nobody in their right mind is gonna pay that kind of dough for a car..esp
with 12.6 mpg. If it broke down....50 miles from me... nobody would have
a clue how to fix it ! The motor doesn't have that deep throaty roar to it,
that kills
it right there. It really doesn't look good on the outside. Video's at:

317 ft lbs of torque, gee the stock mustang is 405 ft lbs,
and way more with a few tweaks. On speed channel tonight, they added the
SC to the 2012 camaro...and > 600HP + 625 TQ....to the rear wheels. That's the
'real deal'.
## My next door neighbour has a Porsche boxster. I keep seeing it.....in
my rear view mirror...barely. Between my tinted rear glass and all the smoke,
kinda
tough to see. The motor in his Porshe sounds like a chainsaw at full
throttle, having
sex with a popcorn machine. That megabuck BMW rag top didn't fare too well at
the
lights, 2 x days ago. Mercede's benz was lunch meat. No Ferrari's seen in
this town. OK, what's next ?

### I just bought a 2010 Mustang GT. It has enough HP and globs of torque
to
run 3-4 cars very easily. When I get done with the engine, it will be on
steroids.
Frivolous, who cares.
It blows the doors off rice rockets + euro trash...and that's
good enough for me.
