Any videos of those cars in the rain, snow or mud? Didn't think so.
Let's add some foul weather and see just how capable these things are on a surface other than dry pavement.
Ain't no use having that much HP and torque if you can't put it to the ground.

My brother-in-law would love you
He is a Falcon man thru & thru. He has 3 himself, and any kind of print, diecast, advertisement, model that you can find.

You might change your mind after watching this, LTO_Dave. Watch this Hemi Challenger reel in Ferraris and Porsches and a lot of other victims...and if the sound of this motor doesn't make you cream your jeans even just a bit, I question your man-hood.
This is what happens when you combine modern technology with yesteryear's muscle. For several minutes, the hapless Ferrari is holding up the Challenger, until about 5:50 and a long stretch...then it's buh-bye and watch the Ferrari disappear in the rear-view mirror.

Where do I start................................well first i would like to find a Ferrari in that video
Does a Ferrari powered Spice count
Other than that I will stay out of this one. Bottom line is all modern cars have gotten pretty damn good
P.S. how is your post a response to LTO's post?

What a great video! @ 5:50 is what happens when you do have the torque to the ground. It even looks as if he was not pushing the car hard at all just waiting for that straight. I see the import tuner crowds point of view and think it's great they have the hot-rod spirit too, but there ain't no feeling like the power/torque of a big V-8. Or turbo V-6 for that matter(yes, GN). Especially a push rod V-8. Much more torque down low than the overhead cam designs.
