Default n00b Question - Performance Specs

Hi guys, I am looking at trading my Honda Prelude for a new V6 Mustang since Ford has 0% APR right now. I cannot seem to find too much about the V6 Mustang online (most of the info is on the V8). As much as I would like the V8, the insurance and added cost to MSRP are out of my reach right now. I was wondering if anyone knew the quarter mile time for a 2006 V6 5MT. Also, anyone know what the car pulls on the skidpad off the top of their head? Thanks!

v6 is 15.3 roughly in the quarter mile.
not sure on the skidpad thing, but i think its like .79 or so (due to the horrible tires)

i took my car 100% stock to a 15.26 (about a 15.04 at sealevel) in my car.

i think the gt pulls the mid .8s on the skidpad with the pneros, the bfg's are in the mid to high 7s on the skidpad.

im not an expert lol, id consider myself above average in driving the 1/4, but not an expert.

Around flat to low 15's stock, trapping low 90's. C&D got a 15.3 on an auto, so a bit quicker then that.

At best runs(statisticly)stock

2005 v-6

0-60=6.9-7.1
1/4 mile=15.2's-15.7's

2005 GT

0-60=5.0-5.3
1/4 mile=13.5's-14.00's flat

Depending on trans and driver of course.
