Okay, I'll take "their" word for it.

Seems that the 1993 Mustang 5.0 is rated at 205 hp ONLY because Ford
changed its testing procedures. Under the older procedures, it still
rates closer to 225 hp. That means that the Mustang has 3 hp more.
And you still haven't posted any weight figures for the Mustang.
> Big threat. You are KO'd by a Civic, acording to C+D
Yeah, sure, in your wet dreams. And that's probably where you got
that 11.2 second 0-60 for the Stealth.

For 3 posts now you've been harping on this May 1991 issue of Car & Driver
without posting any numbers. Why not? Because they prove me right and you
ain't got the guts to admit it? Yeah, thought so.

No, I'm going to play your game -
No way, Sentra's are SLOW! I took a test drive and it took
21.7 to go 0-50! Why, even the Hyundai Excel blows it doors
off. Any 12 yr old knows that! I race and I'll kick your butt!
blah, blah, blah...
Let's see ... yep, that sounds just like you.
Oh man, I just got it! Beavis & Butthead - that's you!

I dunno, why did you?
But why would someone pick the Dodge Stealth RT over the Nissan Sentra?
All it takes is one look.
