Depends on what you want out of your car.
I like a car that has the power but can also turn a corner if I'd like it to.
Mustang would fit that bill more so than the Challenger, whilst still a good car, is more concentrated on going fast in a straight line which is of little interest to me.

And isn’t the red key only for off-road use ie. not street legal?

Ford would not be claiming most powerful production supercharged v8 if someone else had more.

They're also claiming most power dense, so highest hp per litre

Funny how the American's took 9 years to supercharge a Coyote and yet little old FPV did it in 2010.

The yanks had factory 550 hp Boosted 5.4 monsters running around in 2010....
FPV were monkeys in trees and the yanks were flying space ships.

Try 1999 in the f150 lightning. And 2003 for the terminator mustang. So they had over a decade of supercharged v8 experience before fpv had ever put theirs into production.

I suppose I was meaning it has taken until now for Ford to supercharge the 5.0 Coyote evolution of the modular V8.

Forgive me for spamming the same event.

I did say a while back in another thread that this car would be the best all-rounder to come out of North America.

Am waiting for someone to fang it at Nurburgring (top-speed pending)

Reminds me of Honda fanboys and the S2000

They all start crowing on about power per litre but their hair dresser car would get chopped by Nanna on her way to bingo under 6000 RPM.

10.61 1/4 mile. 0-60 mph in 3.03 seconds.

It’s just a set of slicks and a tune away from 9’s. Yet it also get’s it done on the track.

Love how this thing sounds. That said, it's a bit of shame they don't seem to have much blower wine.

Yeah, from all that I have watched you don't hear any at all. Maybe because in track mode the exhaust is so loud it drowns it out?

They make 12 psi of boost. Maybe the new gen blower it uses just doesn't make that sort of noise. Nothing like a whipple anyway.

I caught a VERY minor hint of it on one of the reviews but it so quite compared to a Miami or the Hemi's.
