Hey guys, Just coming over from the redline forums here, not trolling, just to say a thing or two...
Personally i too doubt beating 2005 or newer mustang GT's, unless the driver is a complete tool.
I have beaten a couple 2000-2004 mustang GT's myself, on the street, from roll's usually from 2'nd gear going like 60 KM/H which is just a dirty speed for the redline to start from, advantage redline right off the bat. I dont know the exact year of them as I never really had a thing for those years of mustangs so i never learned. point being there that yea it happens. That being said i've also been beaten by 2 or 3 mustangs as well. newer ones, none older then 97, anything before that and they are basicailly decimated once we are up to speed. there arent any modified ones older then that around here, if they are they are trailer queens. Total props to the mustang, As i previously was an owner of a '92 LX 5.0 Auto before i got the redline (351w swap anyone?) never did get that one to the track though. Currently my redline is capable of running 14.2's if i got my reaction time down, and thats with 300 bucks into the motor, It's pretty impressive in my eyes, even from a land of cheap horsepower.

What i'm trying to say is, we all have cars that have lots of untapped potential, and depending on the mods, or the stupidity of the driver in whichever car, mustangs will be beaten by econobox blown 4's, and redline's will be beaten by the ponies.

Couple things for you guys to know as well (interesting knowledge, might make you respect the redlines a bit more)
Same motor as the Cobalt SS, 2.0l Ecotech, with changing of the pistons, possibly even without, (no other internals, rods etc.) to approx 400 HP.
not saying we all have that, or ever will, it'd take effort and tech, but its a stout powerplant.



..... oh and LittleMT's neon would eat you alive. not a dig... just my humble opinion.
Kisses MT.
