Slow mustang A buddy of mine sister has a 04 mustang gt convertible A4. nice car just not fast. One night we got the idea to take this thing to the track. I ran it, and with a .124 reaction time this car only ran a 15.06 in the 1/4. I am posting this to give a true number of a stock mustang gt. I feel like some of the numbers on this site are a little far fetched. The track was Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, TX www.houstonraceway.com

I knew the '96-'98 GT were 15 sec turds but thought the '99-'04 cars were much better, thats pathetic. I took my '04 Monte Carlo to the track, it has the small base motor, 3.4 (180 hp) and went 15.6.

I Had the traction control off. the car never spun. I have no clue because it runs just fine shifts good and drives good it is just slow. It may not help that it is 17 year old girls car either tho

The weather was not bad just very humid. thats just how the south Texas coast is though. I talked to friend of mine (A Ford Tech.) and he said thats just how the a4 vert GT's are.

Auto, vert, AND it hot weather? what do you expect? seems about right for that car given the conditions. But take a 05/06 M5 GT and I'm sure it will be a second faster or more. Oh and the 05/06 still came with 300fwhp. -Mark
