Default Is This Normal?

I am honestly puzzled with my car. From what i know, the internals are stock. I have full exhaust, CAI, MAF, underdrives, and 3.73 gears and 215 tires! Tonight i beat a 2006 Automatic Mustang GT 5 times. 3 from a roll and 2 from a stop, beat him by about 2 cars each time a little more when we raced from a dig. Ive also raced a 5 speed numorous times and beat him. From what i have heard this isn't very common, and that it would require some heads to beat a new GT. What do ya'll think?

P.S. Im not trying to brag about beating a new GT(nothing special), i really am wondering whats done to my car.

Well, they run 13s... it seems that many people believe a mild bolt on car will barely touch 13s.

well your car weighs less and has better gearing, and some cars are factory freaks

Ya, i know, i was just thinking maybe it has ported heads or something... i guess it was a pointless post, because the only way of finding out is tearing apart the engine.
