The new 99 Mustang is actually slower than mine! I thought it was going to be a lot faster with the boasted 40+ horsepower increase. My dad test drove one and thought it was slower, so we lined them up in an abandoned parking lot, and I beat him by about 20 ft. The road runs about 1/2 mile straight. If my car had lower gears in 2nd and 4th gears, it would be a pretty fast car. 1st gear times are good, then you slam into 2nd and you lose speed, then you pick speed back up in 3rd, then you're in 4th getting nowhere, and 5th is there like you really need it. 0-60 times are awful, but it has a lot of mid-range power from 60mph on. Has anyone installed any good performance bolt-ons or that supercharger for the 3.8. I want more power, but I want to keep the car because it looks good!
Thanks,
CB
