Is it normal for us to keep up with 4.6L Mustang's??

Thanks Montez, someone else already enlightened me. I thought there was a big diff in performance between the auto and stick, it was my uneducated guess.
What Mustang owners are you thinking of? They are the slowest of the 5.0s from 87 up, but they are quite a bit quicker than the 96-98 GTs. I Heck the other night, I almost beat a 96 Cobra at the track, lost by 2 tenths and I had my worst 60' ever(2.4). Oh well, I'll get him next time(oh, his wasn't great at 2.3X either LOL, but I know I can do better).
i think most mustang owners know that the 94-95 are the slowest mustangs made(87-present).

Incidently, that was the day my MAF sensor went bad and I had to "limp" the car to the dealership (Acme Nissan).Anyway, the guy I spoke with has a 99+ GT and I'm guessing his baseline 1/4 mile was already very low 14s. But I don't know the HP gains of a good intake and "gears" on a 99+ GT. (I havent been into domestics since college in the late 1980s and it's very rare when I actually pickup a performance mag that features Stangs.)
Though I'm an import enthusiast, I never doubt the ease with which Mustangs (and GM F-body cars) gain HP with simple mods. Like JTKZ stated, "It's hard to know what a Mustang will run, because it could be a bone stock mid 15 sec car, or a modded 12 sec ride. You won't know till you race usually." And with import cars, 12seconds = forced induction.
Peace.

TQ > MPG
A 99+ GT 5 speed say with 4.10's, exhaust, all the bolt ons and slicks could maybe touch 12's, but not on average. I would say most full bolt-on + gear 99+ 5 speeds run about 102-103mph, which is probably good for low 13's on slicks.

........w/ those gears and mods its very hard to launch on stock tires.... Yeah it is. Last night I came out of a toll booth and brought the car up to about 4500rpms in 2nd and matted it. I got very sideways, to the point where I had to get off the gas.
I agree with darrinb and PullT. but you'd need to be one hell of a driver to to get the 12's. I haven't seen the ET yet on a full bolt on 99+ w/o some major suspension mods but I have seen 104 mph, so the power is there.

3.73s
Nitto 275/40 DRs
TriAx Shifter
o/r H
Flowmaster CatBack
Pulleys
another caveat....these were done at Houston Raceway Park, one of the fastest tracks in the country and in exceptionally outstanding weather on a well prepped track. Both days were in the -2000 DA range...early Feb, 40 degrees, 31 pressure, low humidity

Assuming both cars are stock, a race between a 94-98 GT and a CLS is dead even in my book. For the 1/4 all are high 14 second cars.

'03 Mach1 - 302HP/320ft-lb (not exactly sure on this number)
'03 Cobra -- 390HP/390ft-lb torque
(highly underrated by Ford)

No way he ran a 12.8 on street tires with just gears and intake unless you consider a blower or a nitrous solenoid "intake" mods...
