[QUOTE="ZYBORG, post: 16334142, member: 40262"] I like the write up and love the roll race (that’s my shit!). But some of the statements can be bit misleading. I will elaborate below. “That's why I believe the Shelby GT350 Mustang from Ford Performance leaves a little to be desired as fun street car. There's no denying it's supreme ability on a road course, but on the street it's not that much more exciting than aPerformance Pack GT Mustang.” although this is your opinion, I couldn’t disagree more. The 350 is much much more exciting than a GT. From the way it drives to the power delivery. so many people attempt to “play down” the 350 on the street. 350 is just as strong in the street, if only driven correctly. “Go for a quick drive in a GT350 and a Terminator back-to-back. On paper, and in nearly every measurable sense, the GT350 is far superior to the now 15+ year old Cobra. However, that positive displacement blower mounted to the old-school iron blocked mill on a Terminator just cranks out the low-end twist that makes your pants tight.” again, this is your opinion, but I will also contest it. A baun stalk terminator is very underwhelming, especially when compared to a 350. It is not even a contest. in all measurable data, the terminator gets CRUSHED. Only nostalgia, would make anyone think that the terminator feels better. The truth is it doesn’t. “We go up to about 30MPH in 3rd and both went when we got to a painted line on VIR's back stretch. The results speak for themselves. The EcoBoost starts churning out prodigious amounts of torque almost immediately. The GT350, not so much. In a nutshell, that explains why a boosted car is so damn fun around town.” anyone than knows roll racing will tell you how flawed this race was. It was basically set up against the 350. It handicapped it. While giving the ecobust-mobile a huge advantage. I understand that this was a “fun” race, but showcasing it as such, may cause some poor souls out there to actually think that the ecobust is and / or “feels” more fun than the 350. When that is actually not the case. To properly showcase the cars/race, both cars should have been in the meat of each respective power band or a happy medium, instead of totally one-siding the race. Torque is definitely important, but several other factors can more than make up for it. 350 might not be a torque monster but it MORE than makes up for this with power/gearing/etc. Just my 2c. ;) [/QUOTE]
