Okay, how many of you guys have driven the Type R? I personally have one parked in my drive way, (even though its my friends ) and I can personally say its not that fast. The conditions and all the variables have to be perfect, including the planets aligning, to keep the car in the 14's, very high 14's at that. But the car is more like a consistant very low 15, enough to hang (I said hang, neaning it's up to the driver to do a little work) with an sn95 with a normal driver (none of us at the MustangWorks) especially the 96-98's. And also, most of the true mustang owners have their car modded so the only real ones he'll (my friend) will be able to keep up with and (gasp) even beat (though not by much) would be the wanna be automatic converts. But the car does have to launch between 4K and 5K, which will take a toll eventually.
