If it has a 304 I think you would have a hard time keeping up. Gremlin only weighs probably 2400lbs and they Hit and Get when they have any kind of power under the hood. I can see it has 29"-31" tires and if he has anything to back those tires up you can give it up.

Well, Roni, I have PLENTY of pictures from our local racetrack that show the S197 as a slow dog, but am hesitant to post them for fear of backlash. We have a local Mustang II capable of spankin' most Saleen S/C and Roush S197s. But, dear God, if I present said evidence and photos, I must be anti-stang.

It may have been able to outrun the '05 at the track, but it still didn't get away with outrunning "ugly" on the street.

Judging by the rear slicks and guessing that they are not there for looks, that gremiln would smoke the GT. There is a hornet s/c at my local track running low 13's. I have to say that driving that gremlin would be a little squirrly.

Exactly! The question is...can you cruise in it with your significant other with a suitcase or 2 and take a several hundred mile trip anywhere in it? You can in F/I S197 and could possibly see low 11s, if not 10s depending on the setup

Hmm, seems to me there is a Shelby GT500 that runs 9.9s and is still very much streetable.

I was looking for a Pacer, which I think is the ugliest car ever made.

I LOVE Pacers. Gremlins are cool too. I have an unhealthy fascination with ugly cars. Actually owned a '72 Honda Z600 for awhile.

Whats the point of you guys bashing the II? Its a Mustang right? I have a 78 Mustang II and I also own a 2007 GT and I love both of them the same. The II is a part of Mustang history if you like it or not. And for all of you bashing them have you ever drivin one or seen one in person? you might change your mind about them.

Stuff even a factory engine from the last of the Fox years and see that sucker go! Decent power in a light car.

The real question is would you be caught, dead or otherwise, in something that ugly?
