it all depends on the driver. I would never let a modular engine get beat out by a little v6 unless its supercharged. the maxima's 0-60 is 6.7, the 95 gt's 0-60 is 6.8. they have almost equal hp, but a 4.6L is gonna give a hell alot more torque
if a guy was to race a maxima in a 1/4 mile, and the same guy did the 1/4 with a 4.6l gt. then the nissan might win
the nissans are pretty fast but its a sedan, and the 2004 maxima are rated at i think 230 horse, with a pipe he's lucky if he sees 250+.
front wheel hp is much different the rear wheel hp
ill break it down a little easier:

I thought I would just correct one thing you said. The 95 GT's still came with the 302 5.0L V8. The 281 4.6L V8 wasn't introduced to the Mustang GT until 1996. Just thought I would let you all know.
