2015 Shelby GT350 Mustang
For all you gear heads...Wow... :B Interesting Ford went back to a naturally aspirated engine at 5.2L and a Flat Plane Crank. Link

Wonder how the Mustang in question would do in an acceleration contest, between it and the new Dodge Hellcat ?
With AWD the Mustang would launch from 0 like it'd been rear ended by a truck traveling at 60MPH. Hard to make that up in the 1320.

97 SHO VS 97 GTP
Never been a big fan of the SHO, except for the fact you had the ability to row through the gears, but I have had three supercharged 3800 cars and like the article says...
"If you haven't yet figured out that we think the new Pontiac Grand Prix GTP handily whips the Ford Taurus SHO, then you're probably still contributing to the Committee to Elect Dukakis. Still, the SHO remains an impressive monument to Japanese-American technology. And for most folks, it's plenty rapid. But the Grand Prix GTP, despite lacking some of the SHO's sophistication, is not only considerably quicker and more pampering, it's a bunch cheaper every time you write the payment check."
The 96+ SHO's were a joke. Ford went from a 3.0 liter Yamaha V6 to a 3.4 V8 and gained 15 hp and about 400 lbs. They were automatic only, and were much slower and heavier than the outgoing model.
The only thing the 96-99 SHO had going for it (over the 3.0 Yamaha) was the exhaust sound.
