Uh, why not? There's probably as many 10 second mustangs out there as there are any other platform, and they have more go-fast parts on the market than just about anything else save for maybe DSM's.

Its going to a shelby authorized fab shop in Vegas, Shelby can't do the work themselves due to some agreement with ford, but it starts next week being turned into the CS6 with the Paxton S/C. I'm getting them to rework the internals too, and redo the transmission to hold the extra HP and torque. Should be pushing right at 380hp or so maybe more.

Re: Raced my brother..

Ok so let me refrase that. It would be a good race with a Shelby GT and your V6 stang lol.

I would say Mustangs are the best bang for your buck to go fast. I want to race one of my classmates in his atx '01 GT, Just to see how I will do against it. He said he wants to take it to the track with us this summer. It should be fun. Oh yeah and I'll be taking out the sub, spare tire/jack etc. Try to make it lighter as much as I can, maybe even the back seat but we will see.. I really want to hit 14's with my 2.5L set-up..

i was dead even with an ~03 Mustang GT (at least had an intake and exhaust but probably more).

In my 2.0L

Re: Raced my brother..

Not that I'm a mustang lover but I'd have to say the 03-04 Mustang Cobra is one hell of a deal for the amount of power and potential you get. 5-600hp is easily obtainable and relatively cheap.

Re: Raced my brother..

Yeah Terminator FTW!!! but these new ones are soooo sweet

Thanks wade i'll let him know. I think I will be able to convice him to do some performance stuff to his truck. He says he wants to leave it stock but, i think once he gets the bug it might be a different story haha.

As for the Mustang GT, I'm expecting no chance at all lol but I also know that he doesn't race too often, and doesn't have a lot of experiance doing it either..
But what I'm really shooting for is a 14.9. I think its possible if I get rid of some weight, or at least I hope so lol

If this was done in your cougar, then I say

If this was done in your CSVT, the I'd say you'd either have to have quite a bit of modding or the Mustang GT driver sucked at driving or had an automatic transmission. Or, you are talking about the older GT's.
