I think an entire Mustang GT might be cheaper than a 415 build. It's just a Ford-they park outside just fine (that's where mine is).

441 & 427 LT5 will have a tough time against that FI car. Big fat torque curve is the killer on a C7 ZO6. And that C7's a bone stocker !

Well boys.....our cars are 25 years old. The only thing I can leave you with is....."Old age & treachery will always overcome youth & skill", so, we have to become "Bushwakers"!

I got to see the car early Saturday morning, before the show opened to the public. Very nice indeed. There will be three stages of aero packages for the car. The cars at the show are the Stage 3, with the full aero package and carbon ceramic brakes. You can only get the brakes with Stage 3.

It will be interesting to see the other packages. My feeling is that the Stage 3 will not be the top seller. Only the truly dedicated track rats will need it. Most people will probably select Stages 1 or 2.

A little boost never hurts!

I agree, stock displacement with some boost can conquer anything. Fight fire with fire, fighting forced induction with cubes, is a battle of frustration at best.
