Default My V6 is faster than it should be!

hello.
I just bought 1995 mustang v6 auto for 1400$ and discovered that is faster than it need to be and i wanted to know whats the reason for that because i also have 1995 gt and i would like to do the same kind of mods.
I tested it and results was:
0-60 - 7,9
1/8 - 10,37@120km/h
1/4 - 15,56@157km/h
(wet surface)
and as far as i know 0-60 and 1/4 results are 2 secs better than stock.
Car have no intake or exhaust mods and no other mods which i can see it looks totally stock only thing that i can think of is under drive pulley because it looks bigger than it should be but im not sure and as far as i know it would not make that big difference.

You tested it? What do you mean by that? You tested it with a stop watch? Or you took it to a track and got those times, even though it was wet and the track was still open for some reason?

If you took it to a strip and it ran a 15.5 it could simply be a splitport swap which is the different heads and intakes the 99-04 V6 motors came with that have about 40hp over the pre 99 V6's. Thats probably it and my guess if you don't see any visible mods.

I tested ir with gforce meter and with stop watch but i know for sure that this car acelerates just litle bit slover than my gt and after 60 it actualy feels like it acelarates faster than gt.
