RE: race question??
I was at the 1/8th mile a bit back and one was out there who ran a 10.6. That doesn't sound like a 15 second car. If I follow what your saying then a SN95 GT would lose to a New Edge V6 seeing as how a Fox Body> SN95 in terms of speed. Don't understand why someone would buy a Fox Body just to lose to a 190hp V6[&:]

Powertrain Options and Availability
Mustangs came with only two engines in 1990: an 88-horsepower, 2.3-liter 4-cylinder for the LX; and a husky 225-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8 for the GT and LX 5.0. The V8 whipped out 300 pound-feet of torque, enhancing the Mustang's muscle-car reputation. Either a 5-speed manual gearbox or 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission might be installed. Four-cylinder engines jumped to 105 horsepower for 1992, helped by two spark plugs per cylinder. Ford revised its method of engine measurement in 1993, saying new figures more accurately reflected engine output in on-road conditions. So, the 5.0-liter V8 then rated 205 horsepower (instead of 225) and 275 pound-feet ("down" from 300). Cobras of 1993 carried a 245-horse modification of the regular engine.

I know that he may not have been the best driver I'm just stating what my personal experience with them is. A friend has a 04 V6 auto and that **** is slow as *****. That's the butt dyno talking not real fact though.

I've seen a stock V6 run 10.4,think it was a auto but not sure,if so,a 5 speed should run a low 10,which is a mid 15 in the 1/4.I think the 5.0 will win though,if he can drive fairly well.
