Nope! Scar was the bad black lion. Mufasa ( Simba's dad ) was more the equivalent of a new GT500. 
Edit: dang - some other folks with kids beat me to the punch on the correction!
Great review Frank! It made me want to drive an hour north just to look at my car sitting in the dealer's showroom and make VROOM VROOM noises!

The negative aspect of removing the resonator with the GT500's is your mpg will suffer....
I tend to spend more time in lower gears, blip the throttle in parking lots and low speed cruising, downshift at higher speeds when stopping, and generally do things to hear that perfect sound.
Of course this is much easier with the manual tranny.....and it exercises the left leg. All of this kills the average mpg which remains the same if you just drive the car like grandma....wait.....she hot rods it too. Keep forgetting we have been in the grandma/pa stage for 20 years...lol
