When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK ?

the 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger GLH-S was faster than a 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 in some performance aspects. 

The GLH-S could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 6.5 seconds, while the GT350 took roughly 6.6 seconds. 

The GLH-S also had a slightly higher top speed, reaching 135 mph compared to the GT350's 130+ mph.

I'm sure this is gonna be considered slightly off-topic to some people but I can't imagine anybody here, particularly for the money wanting this car in 1987 instead of a 1987 LX 5.0
And the LX would've saved you some pocket change

Gee wiz I dont know look at the numbers.

A 1987 Mustang LX 5.0, when equipped with a manual transmission

0-60 mph: 6.5 seconds

1/4-mile: Mid-14.5 stock

Top Speed: Around 130 mph

........

1987 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 with a 5-speed manual transmission typically achieved a

quarter-mile time 14.9 seconds.

0 to 60 6.3 seconds

Top speed 143


............

The 1987 Shelby Charger GLHS is a performance-tuned version of the Dodge Shelby Charger, known for its quick acceleration.

 It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 6.95 seconds and complete the quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds at 94 mph

0-60 mph: 6.95 seconds
