Performance is definately there. What is hard for me to believe is that
everybody mentions the Cobra Mustang, but nobody mentions the Saleen
Mustang. The 351 SC Saleen Mustang is a pretty hot runner, and Saleen
has an SR Wide Body (ala Viper, but it'll smoke the Viper) currently in
production. They've already ran tests on it, 1/4's around 11 seconds,
top end around 180ish, and it'll outhandle just about anything you can
buy to put on the steet. Price estimation will be around $100 grand.
Well under most Ferraris.. But as far as overall performance and
handling... it will run with a Ferrari, if not outright smoke it. In
quickness and handling.
