I listened to a discussion between a die hard MOPAR guy (owns a couple hemi cars) and a die hard Ford guy. They were discussing the new Hemi engine (since the MOPAR guy had one in his new truck). They both agreed that the new Hemi isn't a real Hemi because it was not perfectly hemishperical. They said it was similar to the late 60's early 70's when Ford developed a Hemi engine and all the MOPAR guys said it was a real Hemi because it was not perfectly hemispherical. They said that back then the MOPAR guys would always refer to the Ford version as a Semi Hemi.

AJC-05GT said:I couldnt agree with you more ...
IMO - Ford should have put more HP into the 05...I can only guess that because there isnt any camero or trans am out there right now being produced- they didnt feel the heat of the competition to compete with. The 05GT should have come out with a super charger - stock.
Still I am happy with the car... Its a Mustang.
that sounds like words of wisdom to me.SVTdriver said:While enthusiasts may say Ford should have put more hp in the 05. Noone can argue with the fact that at 300hp they are selling faster than they can be made. Ford made what is likely the best mustang for the price. Sure you can complain that other cars have more hp. But I think all of them are more expensive (Especially the STI. $32445). And those within a couple thousand dollars. don't have the same hp. And we all know if Ford had decided for more hp. But it had cost $32k (See supercharger or STI). That people would then be complaining that it was overpriced.
except for more powerful cars, or ones that have a better power to weight ratio????crazykid2056 said:No replacement for Displacement. Unless your rides a Supercharged Cobra
topless beach said:I think one reason some of you are complaining about HP vs other cars that cost more is because those other cars are still very affordable. The argument about HP and price is valid but the more expensive cars w/ more HP are still very affordable. If the stang cost $3000 more but came w/ 375 HP they would still be selling briskly.
(BTW 300 bhp, I once owned a TR-7 and always drolled over the TR-8 like you have.)

"A death less ordinary"
"Going out with style"
"Conceived in a Mopar, buried in a Mopar"

The GTO looks like the result of a spring break fling between a Grand Prix and a Cavalier.
The Charger looks like the Magnum stationwagon.
the last response to this thread was in JUNE!!!!!! the challenger was not even a thought back then. but i can see where this will go. someone look up the thread "game: a list of cars faster than the 05 gt" or something close to that. just please dont start a new thread about how the GTO and F-bodies are faster.Boglin said:I think he meant Challenger not Charger. People that know nothing about cars often get those two mixed up. Regardless of which is faster its nothing a ProCharger can't resolve.
johnnytuinals said:From what i see with the kids they are really into their imports and i am sure some will blow us away.
300HP is a improvement on the GTs
I am still wondering what way i will go.
Stang or GTO
Almost the same price
GTO you will get more for your money
Stang looks better
YOU'RE the guy in OC with the GTO!mach1dsg said:i went with the gto, and i don't regret it a bit, just take both for a test drive and you would see/feel what i'm talking about.
btw, i paid $31200 for my car. looking better won't make your car run faster....
