A 200X Mustang GT was in front of me at the light and I had a feeling that he was going to take off.
When the light went green he floored it and I just did a normal 2000rpm launch and he jumped and by the time I got into vtec it was about even the whole time..
He chirped in first, second and third!!! Insane.
Pretty fast car! I would have like to have been beside him and do a 6000rpm launch.
Those cars are like 260HP
Next time.

Thanks

You tell him Unicron! Mustangs are like lunchmeat down here in Houston.

Aw, just because the seats are uncomfortable and the shifter requires a long reach, and the bodywork is crude, is that any reason to be so drastic?

It needs a little more then just a new chassis.

The new Stangs will do 0-60 in 5.3 with a 13.8. They're pretty fast. I raced an SVT (i think 98) and he slowly pulled away from 50-75. But they do have like 65 more hp and twice the engine-
