THIS is the main thing that makes the HP numbers nearly irrelevant. The Crossfire just PULLS ... and PULLS... and ... you get the picture.
I've always liked the older Mustangs from the late 60's and I think they FINALLY got the shape right again. Now they just need to let Saleen folks loose (if they haven't already) and see what 'fun' they can get out of that car.
Cheers!
You know I do believe that is what impresses me the most about my Crossfire, the fact that the torque is there anytime you ask for it. I know for me that is what makes it so fun to drive, just can't get enough of it. I had Chevy's growing up small blocks and big blocks. I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination, small blocks can be quick, but in my opinion you just couldn't beat the torque of a big block, the torque is what pushes you back in the seat and holds you there, which for me anyway, is a great feeling. And Saleen has gotten a hold of the new Mustang and they look fun, fun, fun.
