I can come up with reasons. Stock 5.0 Mustang has the same peak power to weight ratio as the FR-S does with 285whp, who knows what differences lie under the curve, not likely to favor the FR-S. We also lack the torque comparison, even with the turbo. I guarantee you the 5.0 gets a better launch as well. They run 12.5's on a GOOD driver. I'll bank on 12.65 for the FR-S at 285whp/225wtq, considering the FR-S has a decent pair of tires and not the stock Prius tires. All of this with The Stig.
