Speed is a by-product of power vs weight, if the weight is low, the power doesn't have to be there to "keep up". 2700lbs is going to be 200lbs lighter than anything else available. If its only shy by 20hp the weight is sufficient to make up the difference in power.

So you're telling me all those young ppl gonna go beat up old Civic and straight to brand new Z or Stange? There's no between?
Look at what I drive, you're talking about me directly! Except the Stang sucks and the Z is to much $$.
