Snowcrash, you're such a fanboy...

Anyways, seriously now the track you went to must have been a drag strip. Look at the specs between them you'll find this:

m3:

power: 420

torque: 295

curb weight: 3700lbs

mustang gt

power: 300

torque: 320

curb weight: 3450 lbs (manual, another 50 for automatic)

Lower weight and more torque, gee, I wonder why it beat the M3? Boggling. Try to beat the M3 on a circuit, your mustang would get creamed. Mustangs are NOT good cars. Fast in a straight line, sure, but that doesn't make it a good car.

American cars are about power, you should know this since you have one... The new Dodge Challenger's are what, close to 400HP the R/T? The Camaro SS is over 400HP.

Again, the number really doesn't mean much. The challenger might be 375 horse for the R/t (425 for SRT-8), but it isn't very fast in the 1320 because it's HEAVY AS HELL.

And just so you know, ford has a new 5.0L on the dock for the 2011 model year. 400 horse.

All I'm saying is Ford could offer better. In Europe, the new Focus RS will have what, 296HP, 325 torque? Forget the car class and weight, I'm saying the engine only brings in as much power and torque as the Mustang GT and they shove that in a hatch. Doesn't logic say that larger engine = more power? Or does this prove that European engines are more efficient?

It's good to know that the 5.0L beasts are coming back though :D

Your forgetting to factor in a turbo on the i5 that is probably around 12psi(at least) thats a Foprce Indution i5 making what an N/A V8 does. Also don't forget that a RS is about 35-40k in US dollars, that's insane and doesn't meet US emissions, the GT is roughly 25k, and (closer in price) he new GT500 is 43k, and at 8psi makes 540hp and meets emissions standards. That's 59hp/cyl for the RS and 67hp/cyl for the GT500.

Also lets not forget that the current record holder for the Virginia Ferrari club hill climb is a 1998 Mustang.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
