RE: Ram Vs. Mustang
ORIGINAL: big asp
Pointless, maybe. But, where would these types of forums be without silly, meaningless bench racing. C'mon, it's fun to "what if." And, as Mopartodd said, these kind of discussions help younger members learn. And not just them, old farts like me learn a lot from all of you too.
BTW, the original post only said Ram. It didn't specify which engine it had to have. Stock vs stock, SRT-10s will own Fox body GTs. However, the new Mustang GTs run similar 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile numbers. Also, I believe that I have similar or better skid pad numbers than even the new Mustang. That combined with all the SRT's low end grunt make for a pretty impressive ride through a road course. Someone mentioned irony earlier. The irony is that there IS a full size, 5,100 lbs. truck that runs with the big dogs.

Seriously though, that "paint" is just Fords messed up clear coating system they had back in the early 80's. Any paint that's almost 20 years olf is gonne looked fubbared. That particular model Mustang is actually a collector since it is the very special "4 eyes"....bit of an acquired taste though.
