Default Some funny Magazine data?!?

The Feb, 2006 issue of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords has a section in it on the baddest 05's in america. They list a v6 mustang in that section running a 15.99 @ 86.98 mph. whats up with that, is that the fastest weve been able to get the sixers in the 1/4?

Well, the performance shop V6's are certainly running a lot faster than that! LOL! Powerhouse is in the 11's. PHP is in the 12's. My car has gone 13.4 @ 103 mph (i consider mine privately owned, not shop owned).

C&D rated the stock V6 automatic at 6.9 0-60 and 15.3 1/4.... I know guys that get into the 14's with intake, tune and muffler...

I timed it with a G-Tech and with my X-Cal2 using the datalogging feature... 6.9 is about right...
