Ford should have stepped up to the 400 HP mark when the new style GT came out. I guess they would rather be embarrased by losing to a 10+ year old lightly modded LT1. 
Good Kill.

Run it at the track. That way you get to see what you are dealing with there.
Ford really does suck

No, just a friendly poke at the fact that Ford hasn't made a car that could beat a bowtie. I find it amusing that if one Mustang is beat they are all slow. If one Cobra runs with an LS1 it is equal in a race, ect....
I have been able to run with lt1s mod for mod since I have owned this car. I have the bastard child of Mustang V8 cars too.
Even if you have a "few" more mods on that are you calling out the guy who ran mid 13s?

There's more to my mods than that, but not much. I would hope with DRs I could hit LOW 13s.

whats with LT1 owners saying things like "well Ford cant keep up with my 10+ year old car" blah blah blah, ive run into lots of Chevies Fords and Dodges that cant keep up with my 40year old car.............The age of the car is irrelevent.

I do agree with the age being irrelevant, though.

I'd say off the showroom floor the rivals for the Galaxie were: Fury and Impala and maybe Bonnieville/Grand Prix.

Ford did compete with Galaxies in the past. ANd the direct competition was the Impala, thing is, the Galaxies were/are much heavier so racers pretty much turned their backs on them (understandable).
