I'm sorry but i really don't see any relevance in this comparison to the vette vs mustang.

One is a highly modded vette the other has quite literally 0% in common with a mustang.

Plus the camaros and the firebirds were the mustang competitors not the vette.

Re: Evolution of 2 powers!

the vette and the mustang are 2 of the oldest AM cars around they have always been compared. So whats to say stop at the vette and the stang why not the S7 and the C12.

BTW ~ they got the s7 idea from the evolved stang saleen made for gt racing Im pretty sure thats how the S7 was developd.

Re: Evolution of 2 powers!

where did you hear that from? the s7 was completely made from saleen, it was their own creation all by themselves.

Re: Evolution of 2 powers!

Also why use the callway c12?

The lingenfelter 427 twin turbo would be a better choice.

a better way to go would be the The lingenfelter 427 twin turbo vs. the 10.0 liter boss mustang. or even better a zl1 camaro vs. 10.0 liter boss mustang.

What reasoning are you using?

A lingenfelter is modified, but a callaway isn't?
