[QUOTE="Iamchris, post: 15337209, member: 21687"] Well, there are a couple factors. The most obvious is the gearing, the steeper gears are going to multiply the torque more in the Mustang. Another contributing factor is that Mustangs are notoriously loose under power. There is some truth behind all the memes making fun of Mustangs running over crowds, curbs, santa, your dog... The Viper feels much more connected. Call it the suspension setup, the 345 tires, better F/R weight ratio, wheel base... I don't know. I have more power and torque in the Viper and it handles better than the Cobra under throttle. As stated above, the biggest thing though is that the gears on launch aren't as aggressive but as soon as you overcome that initial hit the Viper starts pulling. A positive displacement motor makes good power down low, but it is also consuming significant power to turn the blower. I can roll my Viper out in 6th gear or cruise... uphill... barely off idle without any hesitation. The V-10 is huge and has a boat load of torque from idle to redline. I think the biggest take-away is that fast isn't defined by unruly. Fast is define by controlled and smooth. The Viper isn't a smoke show, pun intended. [/QUOTE]
