So they at least have some wiggle room.

It's cool to say you've got that much horsepower, but what's the point if you can't get it to grip.

Well if you keep at it, you'll eventually figure out how to get it to hook up

Besides, there is always the Texas Flying Mile, 600-700hp would do pretty good there (or any competition envolving a terminal velocity).

The Shelby is much more in the league of a possible Z28, or at least it would seem that way.

Is anyone else as confused as I am that now a Z28 trumps the SS? What world is this? At least Ford still gets it right with model escalation.
