2011 Mustang V6 quick review w/ dyno numbers.

i cant see a 300hp car that weighs 3500 lbs doing 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, sounds like somebody is paying up to hype this car beyond its actual capabilities.

I guess we will have to see others try it out, maybe its because of the ancient live rear axle? I'm no expert, just stating what other people who have had mustangs say when it comes to drag racing.

The numbers sound feasible. It all depends on how well it hooks up.
