S/C WS6 '99 vs Super Snake '11

**kevnstac** · 11-12-2010, 02:06 PM

I own a Mustang, wouldn't buy a GT500 if I had the money. I agree they are over rated and 660HP does nothing but spin the tires on them because there is no money on the suspension, thus I bought the Roush.
Here is a roll in my P-51B Roush from 20, gave it some gas to about 30 and punched it in 2nd, hit 3rd quickly then 4th. I left off at 95. The whole ordeal takes about 4 or 5 seconds to get there.
Sorry for the poor video. Just sharing so that y'all know that SOME Mustangs actually run fairly well.
Don't hate me for liking Ford, my posts say it all the time...I love performance vehicles of all kinds, provided they are NOT rice.

That is correct. I kept the WS6 because its a personal favorite. The Z06 is an awesome car, fast as hell but I was sick of it. Tranny boiled my drinks from the heat, seats suck...there's no better word to describe them then that and there are just too many on the road to suit my taste of uniqueness.

Nice car your Roush is! If you will notice I have a Whipple Cobra also so I do not follow your typical all Mustangs are slow mentality like most GM fan boi's do. I know a fast car when I see one and the Super Snake while definitely a quick ride is way over priced at 80-90K. I would much rather have a C6 ZO-6 or ZR-1. End of story for that amount of money...

Where did I make the comment or insinuate all Mustangs are slow? I simply mentioned the GT500 is not what everyone thinks it is simply by saying it has XXXHP. I see so many people comment on thrashing a GT500 and my comment was to make clear, they are not what I consider "fast".
The SuperSnake is an awesome vehicle, but its lacking many things for the price paid, one most important is traction. You can have 1000HP but if you're not getting it on the ground it's pretty much useless. Spinning away as you're driving down the road is great for showing off power but when time is on the line versus your opponent, you better have some money invested in getting the most of that power to the ground. The Snake does not do that in my opinion.
If anyone took my comments wrong then I apoligize.

You kind of said it here but I was not mad by your comments I was just pointing out the fact I believe in the same thing you do. A fast car is a fast car. For the amount of money the Super Snakes run I personally would choose another option and will when I return to the US. I am going to buy me a ZO-6 or ZR1.
