RE: 13's???
A 67 Mustang may be rated at 220HP ... but not 220 NET HP ... which all the car companies switched to in 1972. The NET HP of a 1967 289 Mustang is more like 150HP ... Our 210 NET HP 4.0's will blow him away ....

RE: 13's???
Chris, here's the latest and greatest of everything I've done to my car, and it may run in the high 13s if I'd ever take it to aclub test and tune tosee what it will do. I weighed thecar at a truck stop and it came in around 2955 lbs. with a full tank of gas and my fat *** not sitting in the driver's seat. Check out themods below, but be advised this is over a year's worth of work and a lotta bucks. Jack

You REALLY need to take that car of yours to the track and see what it'll run. With those bolt-ons and weight reduction, I'm sure you'd cut a good ET (provided you get traction).

RE: 13's???
If your friend has a stock 289 /200 hp there is absolutely no way that car is faster than your v6.The 289/271 only ran about high 15s and did 0-60 in at least high 7s.His 289 should run high 16s and 0-60 in 9 seconds or more.No contest .Does not add up.
