Late model GT's run a 4.6L V8 that has 260 hp. Strangley enough, that is what a 03 S packs hp wise. You must remember though, that the Gt weighs approx 3,500lbs and a lightly optioned box s weighs well under 3,000lbs. That makes for a significant advantage in the box s's favor when performance of any kind is measured. Lighter is always better when it comes to sports cars. Even the newer z28s that pack more power than a box s would have would have its work cut out itself in a drag race against a box s because it weighs about 3,500lbs as well. Weight is just as important when determining accleration as hp, and of course the box s would mop the floor with both those cars in any kind of handling or braking test. But, I'm sure I'm not telling you guys something you already didn't know.

Good day.
