I really think we have a problem here Jim. You are comparing a completely stock Corvette to a highly modified Mustang. The stock specs for the new 400 Horse Vette is 0-60 in 4.6 sec. and the 1/4 mile in 13.22. Rear end gear ratio is either 2.73 or 3.15, so at least there you are almost even. (you still come out ahead). I think what we need to do here is set up a meet at Woodburn. I have a good friend with a highly modified Corvette, cam, heads, exhaust, intake, and the rest. Then at least we can compare apples to apples. I think that would be fair, and his BTW is also a daily driver. And of course the same goes for a 4.6 or 5.0. It should be "mod" to "mod". I also have a good buddy with a 4.6 Cobra, and I know he will be out there next year.

Just voicing an opinion.
