Are 03/04 Machs quickest N/A mustang?
In terms of acceleration, are our Machs the quickest N/A stangs? I think they might be. A good driver, descent air and elevation yields 13.0s bone stock, pretty damn fast-faster than I thought they'd go even as I bought mine. Thanks to the lack of drivetrain refinement and the weight factor, the stangs of old were no where near as quick on the track as we're lead to believe. It'd be neat to see the real track numbers of all stangs side by side. Even neater to see our Machs at the top of all of the non f/i models. Interesting research project, I guess.

other than the UBER special models (like the cobra R,the v10 one, and i think there was another 1 as well) they are the fastest late model mustang that is N/A. we start going back in time though and things change.

If you do the math, this all-aluminum, DOHC V-10 based on the current Modular 4.6 comes out to be just a smidgen under 351 cubic inches. That's why this silver rocket-launcher proudly and appropriately wears Boss 351 decals in the best '71 Mustang tradition. On a chassis dynamometer, its clandestine motor is said to deliver 430 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Given the instrumented results from a late-evening test session, as well as the pair of long black tire stripes we left behind, we have no reason to doubt those numbers
