if you run him from a dig you stand a pretty good chance with your gears and tires. I think he'll run away from you on the top end though.

I think you'll take him all the way around man. My buddy has a '07 which is rated at like 20hp less. He had an exhaust, intake, and throttle body and i had the same plus 3.73's and I was beating him by about a car, from digs and rolls. Now you've got more mods than i had and his car is stock, i dont see why you wouldn't win this man. good luck

I hope i do win. Oh my car also only weighs 3156 ( with out me in it). I think the 2010s weigh like 3800 ? I seen just a wile ago the 2010s make 315 hp. I think my car should be around the 325 mark? I will let you al know what happens.

they make around 315bhp. I think they usually put about 280-290 to the wheels. If you're sitting on 325whp then you've got him covered.

The newer mustangs are pigs at around 3600lbs. I love the fact that manufacturers are making leaps and bounds with their engines as far as power and fuel economy goes, but the fact that a current-day economy car weighs as much as a full-sized sedan back in the day kinda negates some of it.

Well you should have a big weight advantage. I like your chances.

I was gonna say I doubt you have 325 at the wheels. I want to lean towards the 2010 but I think it'd be a good race.

It should be a driver's race, but with your gears and tires you should have an advantage from a dig.
