Am I reading correctly that the Mustang 5.0 is faster than Challenger R/T 5.7. Is this true and if so how is this possible? Also, if it is true, why wouldn't Dodge make the Challenger faster?
The Mustang is much lighter than our cars. The weight to displacement ratio gives an advantage to the 5.0. If you really want to "wake up" the 5.7 then you'll need to mod out... intake, headers, exhaust, tune. That should help make up the difference against stock 5.0 Mustangs for the 5.7 Hemi.Am I reading correctly that the mustang 5.0 is faster than challenger 5.7.
