I dont know, those cars run pretty fast, especially as a manual. I would say probably not.

I've taken 5.0's and 4.6's. So I'd run them if you don't win for you, that way they can see what this V6 is all about

Pritty much stock is not stock... it all depends what the stang driver is sporting in terms of mods for his 5.0.

If he hooks up, and holds traction, you'll have a hard time keeping up, but you won't get whooped... you should stay pretty even if you get a good launch. If you beat him, it'll be by a nose hair.

I get no joy out of eating mustangs anymore... unless they are cocky drivers with the new generation GTs. heh.
