To me and every other competent English speaker, when you say it is about horse power numbers, "plain and simple", that excludes all other possibilities including selling cars.
Would you like some BBQ sauce to finish eating your other foot? [img]smile.gif[/img]

The muscle car wars are back baby [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

Then the emissions problems in the mid-late 70's took away from the HP war. Then it was saftey regulations in the 80's and 90's. Now w/ the technology allowing us to have the emmissions and saftey up to par we're seeing the return of the HP war. Its awsome isnt it? [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
exactly what i was thinking..a new school war like back in the old school days when the Camaro was originally going to be called the Panther..and we stole the police package from the mustangs :D ..sorry to say that with Ford's GT and 600hp Shelby Mustang (not sure if they released that) ..Chevy is still gonna have to step it up..and they may with a Tiger Shark Vette or something..but i personally would like to see them do it with a bomb dropping muscle car then more of a road race car [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Not true.....only like 12 Ford GTs were made....which are now worth 2x what the sticker was so i dont really see how it counts as a contributer to the HP wars.
GM has the 400hp GTO, The 400hp vette, the 500hp ZO6
the way i see it, Ford is the one behind in the race

my bad....
i watched a show on discovery or something and at first only like 12 were produced all of which were sold before production was finished and there was a waiting list. the cars were revealed at the Ford centinneal (sp?) celebration.
i did not know that they were going into full production...thats awesome
whats the word on the base price?
