unless you suck at driving and weigh 750lbs you should take him.

The mustang 05 GT weighs less than your TA, sorry to burst your bubble. They weigh in at about 3450 rated and 3550 actual. As far as who will win, I agree with the 1/8th mile being close. The 1/4 you should pull him though. He has a better suspension and gears than you to though. 3.55's out back and stock they have been known to pull 1.8-2.0 60's with a good driver and the stock 235/55/17 PZero's. Race him and find out. I still vote for the WS6 due to it being A4.

The new stangs are dogs. Slow as dirt. I got one to go on the street finally and tore him a new one. No problem taking him on a track. Eighth mile or quarter. The only thing to worry about IMO is the skills of your dad with a stick.

<used to work as a ford rep...had to memorize that crap. lol. And yeah, your WS6 SHOULD win, unless your dad is a sick man with a stick. It takes a REAL driver to get below mid 13's in those cars. Any idiot can do it with an A4 WS6 with a little practice from what i have seen.

My buddy and I were running around (he has a '04 GT M5) and an '05 GT M5 came rolling up and my buddy beat him and his is bone stock. Granted none of them could drive but I wasnt impressed w/them. Mustangs are quick off the line (traction provided) but our cars are better 
. euther way close race in 1/8 and destroy him in the 1/4

Their traps are not as high as ours, but 1/4 mi are somewhat decent and close to our cars.
