318 power?

I just simply stated how a friend of mine's 5.0 mustang blew the doors off a duster with a built 318 and the next thing I know guy's are talking about 340's, 360's, etc. I think that there are guys on here that don't want to admit that mopars can, have and will be beat, it's just the way it is. Your opponent could have a well put together combination with a good suspension system and have good driving skills and that's all it takes. Just because it's a 340 car doesn't make it the fastest car out there.
It's just weird how people see this stuff a 11s Lada will smoke anything with slower e.t. than it, be a 340 360 408 hemi Ls 460 540 etc.. There's engine's of every size and shape doing 12/11/10/9s etc.. Tons of different ways to get there.
