2005 Mustang GT- Be READY fellas!

Plus Motor Trend always tests fast, the EVO they tested ran the 1/4 mile in 13.0 seconds, so I doubt the new Mustang will in reality hit 60mph in under 5 seconds with the manual tranny. I believe Road and Track and Car and/or Driver have tested the car, and it has ran with the manual transmission 13.8-14.0 Seconds. You see that is why magazine tests can be tricky, of course they should be noted, but magazine tests should just be looked as part of the equation, not the whole answer.
Nice, bag on us, because we "test fast". I guess we should test slower? That's a new one...

Of course I could say that comparing an SRT-4 to an Evo on the track is like coming a fork to a knife, but even though I spent my hard-earned money on the Evo I still appreciate what Dodge has done with the SRT-4.

If you like the mustang so much maybe you should go to www.chickcarofthecentury.com or www.fordlivesofthepastandcallsitretro.com
But on a serious note the car is quick, and no true car guy has ever doubted their performance capabilty.

i don't doubt the 13.0, but the mods to get there. maybe he's hidding he has 4.30 gears, and some serious weight reduction besides all the mods he listed already... no wonder it was so easy to beat that 05 GT
.
i'm still waiting for that low 13's slip out of any of the new 05 GT's. so far the magazines are winning the contest, unreal
