Handles a lot better too from what I here.

One magazine test doesn't mean it's a 13 second car, it's better to average the times all the magazines get to have the best idea of what the car will do.

SVT "postponed" the Lightning so they could fully concentrate on the new 06 Cobra. I don't care if you're John Force you have to practice launching ANY new vehicle, especially one with Pirelli M/S 235's. I can guarantee you MM&FF will have one well into the 13's, and the aftermarket takes to a Mustang like a fish to water so while F-body guys are lamenting the loss of their F-body, Mustang guys are modding away.

You also havn't the slightest idea about the aftermarket and the LS1 is. For one, the 67 Camaro with its small block basically created the aftermarket scene. Secondly, I have always liked when Mustang dudes say things like "I hate the LS1..a lid+exhaust=50 RWHP!". I am going to bet this SOHC engine will not respond as well to mods as the LS1..no N/A Ford Engine has. This engine apears to be better than the 99-04 modular, but
1) That isn't saying much
2) It still won't be able to get into the 11's stock H/C, N/A like an LS1 can.
How does it feel to be getting a car that barely beats out the LT1 which is an engine that came out in 1991 ands bottom end came from the L98.
you stupid troll.

Come on dude. Motor Trend reports a 13.6 1/4 and everyone here is crying foul and Ford must be paying them off! The guy ran a 14.04 in the vid. Congratulations! I never once called BS on the run I'm just saying it can be improved on. Modded or not, did you automatically take your Camaro out and run the best times within the first day or two you had it? I would say NO. Whether you've raced for years or not, some practice time at the track with a new car will 9 times out of 10 produce a better ET, period.That does not mean every new Mustang will run that time, or be faster or slower, whether according to the MT review or the two in the video. Do you know what would happen to a publication like Motor Trend if they were busted for lying about stuff like that?? They would never be in print again. We can sit here and go back and forth all day about what it runs or if you believe MT's times or whatever. All I know is two different magazines got it from 0-60 in 5.0 and 5.1 seconds...MotorWeek and Motor Trend. It obviously has potential and even if it is a tenth or two slower than a 02 F-body I'm happy that I'm still able to go purchase one NEW, and know the Mustang has a future with great aftermarket support as usual.
