well all the mods that i have done to the crown are for upper RPM breathing. torque isnt as important up there. I know my Cop Car is making more horse than my SHO. and they have very simular drag co-efficients. just because the SHO pulls to 7 grand means nothing if the power isnt there to back it up. my Vic shifts out at 5k in to 2nd and 3rd gear and into 4th at 4800. when the RPM drops i am at the tq peak, then i am at the HP peak when it shifts. but i have about 400+ lbs to deal with. so off the line it is a pooch, but a 4.6 stang has a damn hard time pulling away from me past 100. I you have never had a ride in a hopped up CVPI then you have no idea what i am talking about. as it stands my Vic runs LOW LOW 15's in the quarter. and i know the sho isnt that fast with all i have done to it. I just know my cars, and when i had a buddy run the Vic, he caught up with me at about 105. and passed me at 110 and kept pulling til i got out of it at 135. the vic will pull (read: still holds you in the seat) after 120. the SHO does not. Am i saying the Vic is a better car, NO but for what i do with it is does it's job well. is the SHO a better Car? no, but like i said, it does it;s job well.
