Prerequisite "LS1 will eat you alive."


With that said, I beat a Boxster while pulling our pop-up camper.

Traction limited yes but still it is a stretch. The car has this thing called Torque that will launch it like it was shot out of a sling shot. The WS6 is a 325 HP vehicle with 345 Ft. Pounds of TQ.

When the car was first released, third party testing witnessed high 4 second 0-60 times (with wheel spin) and low 13 quarter mile times.

alexf20c, Steve typed 5,000 dollar mustangs. Not add 5,000 dollars to a mustang. That's a big difference.

errr F1, you might want to check your sources.... Here, use the extra $500 to get a decent paint job...

Anyway, I think Steve's point was that cost is always somewhat of a ricer arguement (i.e. "Why buy a $32000 S2K, when I could buy a $20000 xxx and put the rest of my money into making it faster than the S..."). Just because something's faster doesn't make it better...
