Damn. That's quick. Looks like the LS1 may have fallen from grace as head-honcho. Kinda bad when a V6 Mustang can keep up with a bone stock LS1 car. Granted, there's a 10+ year technology difference, but DAMN. Apparently, Ford's doing something right.

13 second V6 Mustangs. Guess the world really might end in 2012.

Wow i'll have to give it up to them for REALLY REALLY stepping it up this year. Now lets see if GM answers back with a TT-V6 and less weight for the LT and SS.

That's wild. I would never have thought a few years ago that Ford would be doing what they are with the Mustang.
13.7 @ 102 isn't all that fast these days, but out of a V6 Mustang, that's pretty damn quick. There are going to be a lot of 16 year old girls getting these, and not knowing what to do with all that power.
I sure hope Ford started a war with this. Competition is what makes cars quicker.

Wow that's fast. 
I expected a mid to low 14 from the car but a magazine time of 13s?! That's potentially a 13.5 in private hands in good air. 
It's a good time to be a car guy in America.
Well I might not go that far...depending on the air/track conditions a bone stock LS1 F-body will see the high 12s with plenty of them having gone 13.0s-13.3s at over 108+mph (Corvette LS1s have gone 12.6s bone stock). Of course under even more ideal conditions this V6 Mustang might beat that 13.7 as well, but on the same track on the same day with the same driver an LS1 F-body will still have a few tenths over it almost every time.

They should not need a TT V6 to be faster then the Mustang V6, The Camaro is just to damn heavy and Ford just proves that a lighter car with the same HP performs THAT much better.
Camaro V6 has 1more hp then the Mustang V6 and yet the stang goes 13.7 while camaro is a 14.5.
Major props to Ford, Now lets wait and see what GM pulls out for the 2011 Camaro...to be fair the 2010 Camaro spanks 2010 Mustang..lol

Oh definitely. But we will see a lot less of that on this site. That, and the fact that LT1 F-bodies have either been right around even with, or just behind Mustang GTs since '99. They've kinda gotten on their own little high-horse. This should humble quite a few people.
