I guess for 390 hp/torque you could expect a little more, but it's still faster than I'll be for quite a while.

the problem with those cars is even when you mod them a little they don't gain alot.... they are already doing pretty good from the factory!

I'm finding mid 13s for the stock ones, but I find that hard to believe.

[quote name='UniqueTII' date='May 31 2003, 10:38 AM'] I'm going to a free Mustang show tomorrow...it'll be worth the money...lol.

I went last year and saw a supercharged Cobra, an old SVO turbo, a Cobra R, '69 Mach I, etc....well worth my time.

i saw a new supercharged cobra last night at the strip. It made a lot of noise and did a nice burnout, but only turned a 12.9. [/quote]

I think you need to adjust your crack meter if you think 12.9 from the factory (assuming car is stock) is slow

it wasnt stock man. I didnt talk to the guy but the engine bay was all bling bling. I dont know much about mustangs but it def wasnt stock. Im not dumb i know that 12.9 is fast, but i expected more from it.
