Just because they ran that time doesn't mean your average or newbie driver can do it...not to mention an auto is probably much slower. At most I can see a manual v6 stang giving a stock a4 ls1 a good run but that's about it.
In the end, its a driver race...just like it is with any car.

Of course I was talking about LS1 Fbodies, I did quote it in my original response.

Even at that, most boosted cars from the factory are usually a good run (at least the ls1 is holding its own) stock for stock. And even staying NA it can give most of the boosted cars (even V8s with almost as much displacement) a good run (if not in most cases beat) for their money.

Which one of those are platforms though? Unless we consider platforms different. A platform to me is an entire line.. Meaning ls1/2/3/6/7/etc... 03-04 Cobras are not in the mustang GT platform, nothing with them is the same.

there are a lot of cars out there that do better than LSXs mod for mod. period.

You're going to have to quantify that statement considering both Cobras and GT's are SN95 vehicles. SN95 is the 'program' or 'platform' designation for those cars. They absolutely are the same platform.

I've never paid much attention to the V6 cars. I knew there was some aftermarket for them, but didn't realize it had much of a following. The new ones do seem to have much more potential than in past years. I still don't think it will be common to run across a decently modded one...though they may be out there.

I think you all should leave the sweating over this new sixxer Stang to the 5th gen V6 Camaro owners. Those of us with V8's are quite happy and should have nothing to prove.

It's strange how quickly this all came about. Granted the LS1 has been meandering about the streets since late 1996. We've held top level status ever since. I was impressed when the 3.6 Camaro started cutting mid 14s, but now this? No reason to be nervous or butthurt, but it's an eye opener. The LS1, like the old EFI 5.0s, is now a forefather to bigger and badder things. We've got to accept that something that has been out for nearly 14 years will eventually be caught up with.
Stock for stock, we have some steep competition, but we all know how little these things need to be breathed on to run 12s, 11s and 10s. We've got a mountains worth of aftermarket support and factory built options to up the game of our old F-bodies. That 3.7 isn't really anything to fret over; it's the 5.0 that'll getcha. Even then, I'm looking at this competition as one hell of a good thing. It's about ******* time.
Excuse me while I browse the classifieds for LQ/92 parts.

It truly is. 
That may be so, but in those same conditions (I assume that they were pretty bad for the car to have gone that slow) that 13.7 second Mustang V6 might only go 14.2s or slower.
I only say this because I personally know of at least 8 LS1 F-bodies that ran between
12.9 and 13.2 in bone stock trim, both manuals and automatics.
Then again,
there is a chance that in the same conditions those LS1s ran that this 13.7 Mustang V6 might also go a 13.4/13.5 as well.

I actually argued with a few ppl on my local forum that the V6 Mustang, at best, would about a 14 flat given its HP and TQ numbers... I was wrong apparently lol. I was also basing it off of the Camaros specs and times, just with less weight.
Now I do have to ask tho.. is the V6 Mustang underrated? Because a 2011, bone stock, Mustang GT dyno'd at 395rwhp.. and another around 370rwhp and is rated at 412hp. I mean our LS1s are rated between 305-325 and dyno at around 300rwhp, so it wouldnt surprise me.. but it would be nice to know.
