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.
