I love you but 13.7 in a Mustang for that money is aweful.
13.7 in any Mustang isn't a sleeper. Their are V6 Accords running low 14 for less money.
Some Kooks, a tune, and some pullies.. maybe high 12's or low 13's- enough to have fun.
It would still lose to Kennys Z28- but it will hang with it.

That being said, it's hard to shift and bang gears for average guys (and below average guys like me) but I'm sure there is a way around that.
The "Baby Shelby" we sold was probably a bit nicer all around by far, and sounded real nice:

It would be fun to find a beater fox body and turn it into a drag car, even though it's a bit of a cliche by now.
, its a 5-speed car. only has intake and headers. He is shooting for 11.9 before he adds nitrous. It's one fast bolt on 302. If they just found a way to chop 400 lbs off that Mustang and unleased another 20 hp it would be a very solid performer. These foreign sport coupes are getting faster and faster and as an American car fan I just don't know if Ford is doing enough. GM has it covered with the LSX, and the hemi makes great power but Ford is on thin ice.
As these cars get heavier and heavier I think GM/Chrysler are doing the right thing by staying with large cube pushrod motors that make torque. I think thats where Ford is going to be in trouble, but the Mustang still sells really well so what do I know?

I know, engineers find a way to cut weight on crotch rockets every year. Obviously weight is a little more important there, but if they can find 15 lbs every year to cut out, imagine the weight they could save on these cars. All it would take is some engineering time, and they would see vast improvements in fuel mileage over the weight they are now.
