It's basically about envy. The LT-1 guys are going through the same thing the modular guys went through when the 4.6L first came out. The LT-1 get's thrashed in the 1/4 mile by the LS-1 so they all decide the LT-1 F body is a 13sec car because one out of 1000 runs a 13. If that.

Most are mid 14 cars. I don't get into the ricer philosophy of quoting the very fastest possible time for a car. 13's are not uncommon, stock, ROTFLMAO. With a good driver, lol. I love that. Yeah, there are lots of professional drivers out there that fall into the "good category," and the vast majority of LT-1 Fbody's are freaks from the factory too.

Let's see. A 1987 Mustang GT is a 13.80@100mph car because one ran that time once.

A new GT is a 13.60@102mph car because one ran that time once.

A new F body is a 12.90@108mph car because one ran that with a professional driver with a factory wringer.

I quote real world times, not ricer times. By the way, the idea 200lbs can be found in a hollow sway bar and thicker leather is a totally idiotic comment.

The 1987 Mustang GT weighs 21lbs more than a 1987 Mustang LX with the same options. It has heavier seats, and bigger ground effects. Most people think it weighs 200lbs more. LOL. This old wives tale BS is nothing more than somebody trying to make an excuse for their car being slow, or their driving being crappy.
