Anybody consider it odd that the cars weigh almost the same as their 40yr old model?

I find it funny GM is 80hp below at rear wheels and the Ford is only 50 below engine rating.

When is the last time you checked out the weight of the cars in the 60s ? The 67-9 maro was only about 3200 lbs.

ZL1 needs a diet and the LSA needs a bigger blower.

GT500s are bad. But **** 4 cams and it is still a ford.

threads like this are pissing me off, straight line performace the gt500 will win, but the zl1 was built for autocross where it kicks mustang ***. Zl1 is light years ahead of the gt500
