Some of my favorite High points
"Surprisingly, though, Martindale says that, properly heated by a good burnout, the stock Goodyears nearly match the slicks’ launch traction."
Launch control sounds impressive, if you have ever watched or tried to take a stock GT500 down the track, its rather embarassing. This looks like the "driver mod" everyone has been needing.
"The 5.8-liter V-8 has a delightful, big-block belch under acceleration, accompanied by a supercharger whine that is never intrusive."
I prefer intrusive whine, why have a supercharger if you can't hear it??
"Tall gearing and a 7000-rpm redline yield 62 mph in first."
You can now street race using one gear

It looks like there is more there than just HP. Nice to see!

We do, Thankfully the Kurds know that not all Americans are alike. The also think of the Afgans as we would think of people from West Virginia.
