I believe he ran a 13.3x@104 with a 3v,I know he ran a 13.34@106 with a '01 Cobra.I think there is something wrong with the GT500 C&D had,alot of magazines get awful times but the 113 trap speed is really bad for what it is.

Yeah, the SS/TC is a great car. Obviously, Mustang potential is hard to beat with the huge aftermarket, but the TC is a bargain. If it was just me, I would have considered getting one when I bought the MINI.

[QUOTE=drewbroo;3844571]Just remember, for every track 4 Cyl mustang, there are about 20 miata's/CRX's that are faster.

Probably more than that since there are probably 5 tracked 4-cyl Mustangs out there.

I'm not expecting it to be the fastest car, although I think it will hold it's own with it's low weight (for a Mustang), decent power, and decent suspension, but it will definitely surprise some people.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. There are a significant number of V6 Mustangs out there that will wipe the floor with the majority of the Cobalts on this site. The 3.8/4.0 is a pretty stout engine, it just doesn't get a lot of attention because it's the base engine.
