Seemed like a good comparison to me. The Mustang has a bit more power and some more modifications and in a tight battle it proved to be the difference.

What I don't like and this seems to happen so often with tuner cars is that they show up at these events and go on TV not ready. There is no excuse why both of the cars had speed limiters on for the standing mile test. One would think that if your going to put your name on the car for a TV show that the car would be ready to go no more tuning needed.

I agree. How in the world they tuned these cars for blower swaps yet left alone the speed limiter, from the start on these cars, was beyond me.

The GT500 on the show certainly wasn't stock, and both cars were running similar Bridgestone rubber as they're the primary sponsor of the program.

Michelin makes the best high performance street tires in the world. They're expensive, but they're the best.
