See.... I would compare the Banshee to the 5.0 Fox Mustang.  There are soooooooo many parts available for them, and everyone mods them - you can rarely find one that hasnt been modded.

I see the correlation, BUT when the 4th gen came out, the 5.0's were BEAT ! ... When the 4 strokes came out ... Banshee still faster ;) lol ! The article just wanted to compare with the '69 Z/28's 302 ci high revving capabilities, which we all know was rated at 290 HP (UNLESS you own one then it's 400 HP), and could get outrun in a straight line by almost any 275 HP /327  :sherlock:

The Banshee reached it's 5 year birthday with me today 02/08/2012 !!! SO it got some love  :wootwoot:
