Allright. Lemme whip out a baseline for average stock Mustang GT non convert 5spds with good driving.

1987-1988 14.4@98mph
1989-1993 14.6@97mph
1994-1995 14.8@95mph
1996-1998 15.0@94mph
1999-2001 14.0@100mph

With freebies and better driving.

1987-1988 14.0@100mph
1989-1993 14.2@99mph
1994-1995 14.5@97mph
1996-1998 14.9@95mph
1999-2001 13.8@101mph

Now tell me. Which one of those can the Integra Type R outrun at a potential of 14.7@94?

If you want to pay for gears you can knock 3+ tenths off any of those times and still keep good fuel economy and drivability with the Stang.

As far as SCC getting a good time with the new GT at 14.3, even Motor Trend got a 14.0 out of it. They (SCC) found it fun to kick the *** end out and do a little Bo Duke driving around the road courses, which costs time. Sounds to me like they were having a blast, not getting the best time. So what if they have driven a TT RWD car? If you think a TT is anything like a N/A V-8 at the limits you are crazy. They came in there expecting to beat the Mustang in the straight and kill it in the twisties. They got whooped in the straight, whooped on the first road course, and managed a tiny edge in the super tight course. All with misquoting what kind of valvetrain the Mustang had, and with presumably NO experiance ever behind the wheel of the Ford.
