I could build my 240z to be faster than your modded LS1s. There comes a point when you can't claim you're fast because of what
you started with.

If I beefed up my rear end, put on a 280 head, twin turbos, 680cfm holley and 4:11, I could say, "I beat you with a 30 year old straight six." But obviously that isn't why I would win. It would be because I did a bunch of stuff and started making more hp than you in a lighter car with steep gears.

Take a new SS and a new Cobra. Cobra wins with comparable
drivers. That was what Ford was going for and accomplished. When you start saying, well I can beat you because I'm modded it turns into a pissing contest.

If you want to modify, so can the Ford guys. I think thats why we are all here. These questions you pose sound like you been eating too much Uncle Bens.
