I felt I was starting to inch away, but with an upcoming turn and a light within distance, I slowed down.

I got to the light and had him roll down his window. I asked him what trans it was and he said 5spd. I said the obvious "We were neck and neck the whole way." He laughed and was surprised too. Smiled and Waved and both went on our ways.

There is a light and day difference between the auto 3vs and the 5spds. I wonder what the outcome would've been if I had a 6pd LT1. Anyway, it felt good to not get beat by 13 year newer technology.

Just thought I would share.
Thats a pretty good kill. The new Mustangs are beats to 60.Comparable to much faster cars. I dont know how Ford managed to pull so much perf out of 300HP. They did a pretty good job engineering the car to make due with what it has.

Her car is an easy 13.3@105-106 in good weather.
Looks like your 05 is a runner.
Was your dyno performed when your car ws stock?

You clearly have a comprehension problem. One its a 06 and his sig. clearly states that it was a stock dyno.

1999 Mustang Coupe 5 Speed - ET 15.36@90.90 - Dyno 166.6/196.0 - stock
2006 Mustang GT "Glassback" 5 Speed - ET 13.63@102.7 - Dyno 283.9/303.6 - stock2006 Ranger - work vehicle
