Believe me, I am well aware of Mustangs. The 5.0L Mustang is much faster than .3 sec. in the 1/4 mile. What are you taking the best times ever recorded for the 4.6 and the worse times for the 5.0L? There are people who have run 12.50's in bone stock 5.0L Mustangs, I haven't seen any OEM 4.6L track pack or not Mustang break in much under 13.5 sec.

I am not a fanbois, I own a E92 M3..I have no dog in this hunt. This is just the facts. You have a car with 412hp vs. 315..how do you figure.

Car and Driver with a TrackPack car ran a 13.7 @104mph..

Car and Driver ran a 13.0@111mph in a 2011 GT Brembo car..do the math.

Forget about real world times which have some guys already deep in the 11s with just D/Rs a tune, and O/R pipe.
