HP is great but the 94-98 GT's have a little thing called torque. The difference between me and you is you are quoting times out of a magazine (ie, mag racing)......On the other hand I practicaly live at the track and I am telling you what I see.

I have seen 99+ V6 stangs spraying a 75 shot and running high 14's and I seen a guy spray a hundred shot and run a 14.4.

Mostly what I see is V6 stangs getting spanked by many a car length. When my 5.0 was stock it ran a 15.2 and I never even came close to losing to a V6 stang.

I am just calling it like I see it.
