Nice ninja editing. Yea, Stockholm Syndrome, I'm sure that's it. Do the f body guys like it? I am not a "Mustang guy". I have owned a 93 T/A with a Vortech, fully built 98 Formy, 99 T/A, and an 02 Z/28. I love the ls platform as much as anyone here.

Let's go to the Video Tape:
Well that's odd... Most mustang guys don't care for that 'wing', when they first see it. But over time, because they see it so much… it grows on on 'em and they eventually come to love it. I think the experts call it the Stockholm Syndrome.
Now except for the occassional bracket racers down at the track, that car still hasn't been beat by a Mustang.
But I've only raced a couple of hundred examples in that time...
But in my defense, I have kept up with the times with proper maintenance, and installed a modest modification here and there where it was believed to be necessary to keep up with the fast cars. Not that that's relevant here... But it wouldn't be fair to not mention it.

Love to have ya… anytime. And while every word is true, I'm just bustin' your ***** brother. No need to get all defensive.
If it helps my first speedy-car was a 67 GT500. Best looking production car ever built IMHO. So it's all good.
FYI, I'll be at the track Friday Night… Immokalee Regional. It'll be the second time we've had her on the measured course since the rebuild. Slicks are roached from the long stretch in between, so we'll be on the radials…
Last time out the best I could do out of the hole was mid-2s in the 60', which is more than a second off over the average 1.5x., with 1.46 being the best she's done out of the hole. And that was on a PI Vig3200. Ran mid 8s, with a passenger and the slicks, jack, tools and cooler in the back, on a slushy tranny.
So, if ya like, that would be the night to get it done. After that she's off to the tuner (working off the Mail Order PCM-for-Less tune since the last build) and we will be slappin' the squeezin's back on her.
So, well… You see how it is.

Literally can't think of one year where the mustang was actually faster. I mean 90s on it was all GM. Show me otherwise. Even in the early 00s GM had the NA cobra beat by several MPH and got better gas mileage. Finally then ford decided to slap a charger on the mustang after the 4th gens were discontinued.

Not really. 5.0 sn95 cars were mid 15 sec cars. My moms 95 Impala SS was faster than them.......same day same track I ran a 15.0 @ 91 in it (august heat) the 2 new 5.0's ran a 15.6 (auto) and a 15.3 (5spd). I think non pi 4.6's could muster bottom 15's.
