They forgot the which one will give you a bigger penis competition.

Meh. One p.o.s. "muscle car" beat out two others. BFD.

Its actually kinda old news, Mustang won Car and Driver and Road and Track shoot outs...If they think the 4.6 was hard to beat i said, wait till they get ahold of the 5.0.

First comparison I've seen with the new 5.0...interesting.

I really like the looks of it...at least from the front.

The rear took a little getting used to. I don't like the rear of the Mustang at all...maybe it will grow on me. The SRT looks pretty decent I think.

I just can't believe how heavy these cars are getting...not to mention pushing $40k...yikes !!

Really. You'd think with all the space age plastics, thin sheet metal, and modern design it would weigh less. You have aluminum blocks, magnesium and plastic covers and manifolds, unibody steel and aluminum chassis. Why that heavy? Paul any clue?

bulkheads to make the body stiffer, tons of airbags, 20" wheels and tires, and loads of electronic gadgets nobody needs
