12.6 stock on streets? what an amazing freaking car>>> i <3 the 5.0

whats funny is the fact that the guys with the higher gears are posting slower times because with all that torque, they're wasting tenths burning out off the line

I don't like Mustangs very much... but after playing with their build option on their site I must say I'm impressed. For the price of a fully loaded Z you can get a pretty evil Mustang. I'd rather have the Z or the Z28 though.

Flip it this way. How many times in a given day do you go from 0-60 wide open? And how many times a day do you go to the track???

And if both cars were sitting side by side and both came with electric engines
and topped out at 70 mph. And you had to choose one which would it be.

I'm going with the Z. For all the obvious reasons.

My point being these articles are slanted.
