i dont see why everyone thinks these cars are so slow. im not saying there fast either, but they could deff kick a saturns ass. ive seen an 87 gt with a five speed, and just a full exhaust (bbk shorties, bbk x, and american thunder kit) run a 13.9. my friend still has the time slip, and he was running against a 96 cobra, which also ran a 13.9. thats why he kept it.
if your a good driver, and you can actually get a good 60 foot time, and good light, you can get these cars flyin in the quarter. over 75 percent of the people with mustantgs, includeing myself cant drive them. lets face it, our cars hook like their on ice. when my friend ran a 13.9 in his car, he had a 1.85 60 foot time, with a .165 light. thats damn near unheard of, and i still wounder how he did it. it was a once in a lifetime thing, but it proves that even a older car with only 180-190 horses at the wheels can pull it off.
these newer, 99 and up cars, i dont see why no one belives their in the 13's stock. if you can drive that is. i seen a festiva, or assfire or somethin race a car that looked just like mine, (which kinda embarrased me later cause everyone thought it was me) and he was killin him for a little bit. i was scared for the mustang. later on tho, i talked to the guy, and hes got a old charger, and has had it since he was a teen.
if we'd learn to drive, or even get lucky like my friend, you'd be supprised what a little 200 hp motor would do.
P.S. saturns aint *hit either! ha.
