[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 16358899, member: 155561"] How much track time do you have to make that statement? I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm willing to hear another's view point on the subject, but that has not been the experience of me or the people I run with. Horsepower is the #1 sufferer of diminishing returns when it comes to improving lap times. Look at it another way, Corvette is now rear mid engined. All previous corvettes have been front mid engined (the engine sits behind the front struts), whereas the mustang has at least 2 cylinders in front of the front suspension. Advantage, Corvette. Corvette has double wishbone front suspension. That means superior suspension geometry to begin with, as well as superior camber gain / travel under compression. Seriously, if you guys have never looked at a corvette suspension it is light years ahead of a mustang. Advantage, Corvette. Corvette has substantially less weight, especially over the front. Advantage, Corvette. So, considering the only advantage the GT500 has is going and stopping, it is impressive. Again, it took a track with long straights for the GT500 to tie the vette, anyone can look at the data and know the Corvette is a faster car, but the fact we're comparing an overweight mustang and mid engined corvette is impressive.
