Beatable if it's true...

Judging by the trap, it's very beatable. Although it is capable of (slightly) better 0-60 and quarter mile with a decent launch. Think identical to 350z...

S2K will lose all day in a drag race. They are mid-high 13 second cars. I dont care what that jackass edmunds.com says. Best ive seen from a stock one at the track was a 13.7@101. Thats about half a second faster than a stock S2K, and half a second is a lifetime.

drag racing is all about drag racing, but the 05 GT stang is the faster accelerating car.

Where are you pulling all of this "useful" info from? Your ass?

A properly driven s2k will hit 13.7 secs @101 and hit 13's all day.

I've walked on two of them already. Nothing special about them to me.

But since we are talking mustangs...I got my a$$ handed to me the other night by a F-body. I felt bad until he started racing bikes and was hanging right with them...
