so what do you guys think when you hear a 2011 is putting down more than 350hp to the wheels ??

It could be putting down stock 700hp to the wheels, who cares?

I drive my car around town, I want it to look and sound good...last time I checked I don't go to the 1/4 mile track for fun or nor to get I paid to, and I refrain from racing teenagers from stoplight to stoplight.

I'll mod my car some more for sure, but big HP really means nothing to me at this point for a daily driver

Barber :drool

I have a motorcycle that I do trackdays on, so no need to take the car out there (like you said). :Track:

I feel ya! I live in B'ham and track time is none for me, however I might look into taking some pro driving courses..

Thanks, and speaking of Cobras i messed around with a 95 Cobra this morning. He couldn't keep up at all.

Yeah, I had a '95 Cobra and the 2010 GT 4.6 (or even the '08) is quicker.

How much difference do the underdrive pulleys make (in both HP or driveability while running the air, etc) and are they a PITA to install?

Probably the same thing they thought when the first GT350 came out...or the '67s came out with the 390...or they offered a 428CJ....or when the Boss 351, 302, or 429 came out...or when the '87 5.0 was released...or when the '92 Cobra came out...or when the '95 Cobra came out...or when the '96 Cobra came out...or when they upped the HP on the 4.6 GT....or ....or....or....or.....or when the 2013 came out and they fixed all the minor problems with the new 5.0 and bumped up the HP another 25

Thankfully Ford keeps making them better and the "Mustang III" hasn't been released yet in the interest of fuel savings and pollution control. I mean, really! The 2010 GT is quicker than a Boss 429...my 1990 GT killed a Boss 302...my '65 Fastback with a 289 3spd won many a race with a Honda. Who cares? They're all fun cars and just because something newer or faster is on the scene doesn't mean what you already have isn't enjoyable to drive around.
