Yup. 275 out the factory door.

Depending on the year or car, and sans the Impala, it was rated at 275, 285, and 300 H.P.

yep mustangs are always fun to pick on. i raced a 98 GT it sounded like an exhaust only car but after i passed him i heard a whine and when i stopped and talked to him he said it had a S/C with 7psi but. he still didn't believe me when i told him all i had was a CAI.

After going to the link provided in one of the above posts ( http://www.fastcoolcars.com/z28_vs_gt.htm ) I found this..

1994 Chevrolet Camaro : 0-100 = 16.8 sec - so if the car runs the 1/4 in 14.1 seconds at 101mph why is it listed that it takes 16.8 seconds to get to 100mph?
..................................0-130= 26.6 sec

1994 Ford Mustang GT : 0-100 = 17.6 sec
..................................0-130 = 44.7 sec

Anyways, to my point..

LOL...it takes a 94 Mustang GT over 27 seconds to get from 100-130mph
while it only takes a 94 Z28 less than 10 seconds!

Thats hilarious

The other day, I was going back to work from my lunch and I see a 07/08 GT500 Mustang coming out of the parking lot. He sees me and gives it some gas and tries to do a burnout ... of course he couldn't control it, can any mustang drivers drive? geez! He loses control in a matter of seconds and ends up front fender into the gutter ! LOL! He quickly backs up and tries to get out of there before anyone sees. I was laughing my *** of and the guy behind him an alero was pointing to his head and looking at me, LOL.
That was the highlight of my day.

Omg, Yes it would. I had my camera with me, but It happened to quick
Looked like a new mustang too, was all shiny! He sees me, and all I hear is BWAAAA *SCREEEEEEEEEEEEECH* *SMASH*. HAHAHAHAH I looked over and all I saw was a silver/white blur smash into the curb. His face was PRICELESS too! Obviously his first RWD. He looked around quickly, put it in reverse, and FLOORED IT. He was gone, hahaha. I think he might of cracked something, sounded that hard of a hit. oh and to top it off, the road was completely dry not salty or wet, hahaha.

YES, and he is not putting that much to the wheels>unless he's spraying on top of the mod listed. My friend's 02 has 298 to the wheels and on some GOOD DR's he got into the 12.6 range. With similar mod's.

+1 It's what you put in to the car's. And driver + set-up + +++++

i guy at work has a 04 gt with 3.73s he was beside me after work and gunned it i let him get ahead of me then pulled up beside him threw it in neutral revved up then let him see what the taillights look like. a 5.0 owner at the park wanted to race so i was like "come look at this" walking to the front of my car. he was like "what?" then i said "oh i just thought i'd give you one last chance to see the front of my car." i stripped his ***. i saw him driving around town in a formula the other day i guess he got tired of losing.

Yeah, it 'cheating' 'cause street racing is so coordinated and broken into very distinct and seperate catagories!

He just doesn't want to lose again to another F-car!

Bring EVERYTHING and smoke him hard!
