Now that was totally funny. Ha Ha

Let me draw analogy: like a bench meet, never under estimate the underdog.
An example is a guy weighing 190lb benching 450 versus a guy weighing 240
benching 500lb. Who is stronger?

Comparing the weight ration of 3900 (to round it off) versus 4000 (same
rounding), it is more likely the 4.7 will out do the 5.9 in the 1/4 mile.
Same rear gears and same Tranny. However, the R/T suspension may give it a
1/2 to 1 second advantage. Haven't see it up close to draw any conclusion.

Anyway back to stats: 235HP at 3900lb
250HP at 4100lb
Well Dave?

Just because its in better shape initially doesnt mean much.
