um the v6 stang has much more tourque and reaches max torque and max hp alot sooner than those cars. so the stang stock can take them. also the I4'S NOT V4'S

Click to expand...

more percisely,,, getting that torque to the pavement is what wins races.

And a stock V6 Mustang, right out of the box, has a few flaws that prevent that.

Starting with the notorious drive by wire thottle lag, the restricted intake air flow and the open rear differential (to name just a few).

luckily these all have easy solutions.
