If you are, go back to school. I've seen the mags rate the new Mustang GT's as high 14sec cars stock as well. The 5.0 was a mid 15 car according to the mags. The fact is the new V-6's are WAY faster than what you are giving them credit for. 190hp is 190hp dude. The car has all the potential it needs to run right with a 4.6L GT with a couple very light mods.

Take this from someone that goes to the track every week. I have raced many a V6 stang at the track and I was only running a 14.79 at the time.....Even though objects in the review mirror are closer that they appear they were still way back there.

Magazines and the real world are totaly different.
