Test drove an '03 GT - SLOW AS A DOG - what gives?? 87 octane?

Thanks for the reply.

It certainly wasn't a traction control issue. The car pulled like it was no better than a hi-15 sec car and it did this at all speeds. This car is rated at 14.1 quarter and low 5s to 60 MPH. I would definitely feel that difference.

This was actually at a huge Ford dealership, not just some cheesy place. It doesn;t matter though. Almost zero dealers use anything but than 87 in their cars. It's jsut the way it is. there's typically only one pump in the back, so that's all they've got.

I'd just really like to hear from someone that's actually done this experiment. It might be just what happened!
