I would love to see this!

Mustang, five years old, in better condition
-5 speed MANUAL
-210 hp
-3461 lbs

Intrepid, 12 years old, chrysler
-4 speed automatic
-225
-3489

Although the Intrepid has a lower cd by quite a bit, the difference in age, and the difference in drivetrain seems like it would go to the Stang. The automatic on the track or the strip, front tires trying to power and steer, seems like it wouldn't make it. Drag strip it maybe could do okay, but with the power shifting back and trapped by auto and seven extra aging years, I would put my 1 dollar wager on the Mustang.
