2v - 3v
A) Outta curiosity , has n e one ever seen a 99-04 take down an 05+ or is the power difference to great?
B) Would you consider the new stang to be in a different class besides the older stang?
A) stock vs stock? it could happen yes. if the 05 guy doesn't know how to drive at all and the pre-05 is an expert. 
B) nope. they're just getting better and faster with each year. look at the 98 to 99 jump. 40HP. the 04 to 05 was another 40HP.

the same holds true for non-PI's, im sure there are thousands of them that make 300+ hp,
and i wouldnt even begin to guess how many foxes with modded 5.0's there are, so i'll just say alot [&:]
(of course, my entire response is kind of void if you meant stock vs stock)
heres the deal. 3v's are faster than 2v's. they have 40 more hp and respond a little better to mods.
BUT THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THE 2V. they can be modded and built just like any other motor, and do have a bit of potential. there are quite a few 2v's on this site that could easily take a 3v.
not hard to make a 2v faster than a stock 3v.

I killed an 06 stage 1 roush 3 times in a row from about 50 to 100, had him by about 3 cars and was still pulling slowly.

The only car I've raced so far was a stick shift '99-'04 GT.
I got a car length on him off the line and when I looked in my side mirror after going into 2nd, I saw I was pulling on him. He speed shifted into 2nd and dumped his clutch (his tires spun). I kept pulling on him and by the time I got to 80 in 3rd, he was way back and had given up.
My GT is stock. I don't know if he had any mods, but probably not or minimal.
