The S197 is the fastest "GT" ever produced.

I would think either the older GT 350s or GT 500s.. (if you can call those "GTs") or the S197.

Do you mean stock or do aftermarket mustangs count?

I'm pretty sure he means stock, straight out of the factory.

I beg to differ.....I realize the S197 is a solid low/mid 13second car(in the proper hands), but what about the '68 1/2 428CJ GT? A mid year option from the factory, grossly under rated 335hp(more like 400hp) with good tires a low 13 second car, barely nipping the S197? Whaddya think?

Are you asking which GT Mustang is "fastest" (highest top speed) or "quickest" (shortest ET)?

The 428 CJ wasn't the base motor for the GT in '68 i believe, wasn't it the 289?. I wish now a days there were more engine options..
