Power depends on the years. Most before '99 were dogs unless you modded them, especially the fox bodies.

03 cobras are the $#!+... hands down...

my friend has one and that thing was the funnest thing i've ever driven...

i mean i love my GP and everything but i guess i just haven't been too impressed with the power... even boosted ones...

like i rode in steve's and it just didn't seem that much faster than mine... even though it def. is... it might have helped if i would have driven it though...

It's the mechanics of FWD vs RWD. When you accelerate, the RWD will sling you back in your seat.

yeah my dads trans am had only like 210 hp but that thing would throw you back if you barely touched it....our gps just wont give that same effect....@ least mine cant

Gearing.

That too I guess. It might be more interesting with a 5spd. My Stratus is FWD and only 200hp, but with the low gearing and manual is pulls and feels faster than the GP. But the speedo just doesn't move as fast.

ya i just don't get whipped back enough... haha... o well

I do have new found respect for the current Mustangs. Horsepower TV got one to 378HP and I believe 380Ib/Ft of torque on a chassis dyno without supercharging it. They did cheat a bit though, the 4.6 was stroked to 5.0. They fit it with Eibach springs and nice wheels and tires and made a nice handling and fairly quick car. I have yet to drive the current Mustang, but I want to give one a try, though, I wont lie, I am no Ford fan.
