Since you keep pounding the physics drum, one thing you are leaving out of the equation is weight. Its all about power to weight and if you can put it to the ground or not.
Using your own argumant against you, the next logical step - your precious small block mustang could never stand up against a big block anything.......Cubic inches baby....its all just physics, right? But wait.....some of those 5.0 Mustangs are faster than big block cars. How can that be????
I like 5.0 Mustangs too. There are some wicked fast 5.0's out there. But, much like the Hondas and thier fartcans, for every fast Stang one there are 10 with a tired stock motor and a pair of Flowmasters. In fact, here in the Midwest there are probably more posers per capita driving Mustangs than Hondas.
Now that I think about it, I have raced plenty of 5.0's over the years. Here is a pic of the last one. He is a local street racer with a stroker motor and some type of super-loud centrifugal blower. When we were sitting in the staging lanes, he was setting up a $500 race for later that night. Perhaps he had the same mantra as you Mule "
i understand what it takes to go fast. FWD is off the list. So are 4 cyls"
