600rwhp, 200mph, $60k and a warranty... tough to beat

Definitely has raised the bar. Rather you are a Mustang fan or not, you have to respect this car based off the pure numbers & low price tag. Nobody in a $100k+ wants to get their azz kicked by a $55k STOCK car.

We are already seeing manufacters hitting jaw dropping HP numbers straight from the factory. But give it a couple of years to see the fall out from the 2013 GT500 & ZL1.. and expect 600hp cars, priced well under $100k, to become quite a normal thing thanks to these two game changers.

11.52@127

Powershifted in cool weather: 11.71@129

The car will run 11.80s all day using the launch control. It is possible to run an 11.5 in the car on stock tires if you are a good driver (and I'm not talking out of 1000 hero runs in -2000 ft DA with the track ripping your shoes off). It's also possible to get very high mph in good weather while powershifting.

*Disclaimer* My personal recommendation is that you don't attempt that latter feat. Cold narrow tires and powershifting can lead to disaster. If you want to bust low 11's, just throw on a reasonable sized DR and be done with it. The high mph is just proof that the car is a ****ing animal from a roll.

Agreed. The industry woke up and realized the highest 1960's muscle car HP numbers were no longer the standard (425-450) and the book on horsepower is currently being re-written. I am just glad to be around for the 2nd Muscle Car Era! SRT is bringing out a boosted 6.2L Hemi with north of 550 horse...can't wait to see final numbers on that one.
