if it makes this much power, how will a GT stack up against a C6 Vette (non Z06)

Probably still won't be close. The Vette is a lot lighter and a fair bit more aerodynamic. From a slow roll, the Mustang might stay close for a while but I'd expect the Corvette to pull away slowly as it speeds build.

Around a track, it still shouldn't be close. Light weight, more rubber, better handling and similar power will all favor the Vette.

I'm pretty sure this is a high 12 sec car. Ford is the shit lately. I dunno if I'd buy one over a slightly used c6 but I'm definitely interested!

Whats more interesting is that Ford Racing is fitting the GT350 supercharger to the stang good for 500-550hp

The back seat on the mustang works pretty well for double amputees.

People with limbs, however, may have a challenge.

Its about time they brought back the 5.0. I haven't cared for the mustang since they switched to the smaller engine, this is going to be one beast mustang. Its too bad American cars are going through a horsepower race and they only true affordable Japanese sports car is the 370z.
