Just wait until the new cobra comes out.. that thing is going to be fun as shit to drive. I gotta get myself over to the dealership to test drive one... and yes the mustang does high 13s.. even if the magazine claims it, you can figure it will do at least that, even if the conditions have to be perfect.

And you act surprised that a 8cyl car with 300 horsepower of american muscle is as fast as a dodge neon 4 cyl...

This is true. I've noticed over the years that the bigger mags like Motor Trend and Car & Driver always get slower times than enthusiast mags. Then people actually get ahold of the cars and improve on enthusiast mag times. Hell...even Motor Trend got a 5.1 0-60 time out of the new GT. Not insanely quick, but damn good for an almost 2 ton car.
