"The engine was just recently certified at 662 hp and 630 ft lbs of torque, 16 mpg city, 24 hwy, no gas guzzler tax, 0-60 in first gear!"
Should be interesting when these cars hit the streets.

Considering the power, the mileage, and no gas guzzler tax along with its looks, I'm quite sure the car will be a success.

Melting Slicks
Ford setting bar pretty high
C7 will need to raise the bar further.

My 332bhp 370Z has tires nearly as wide and I have traction issues at times. No way is that GT500 going to hook up. I think the suspension is pretty competent, but the fact that the SRA + the wheel-well design prevents the use of a rear tire that is much wider is a huge flaw. Noone wants to roll around on drag radials all the time, or at least, I don't.
