I tried to blow the video up more but I think that is the V6 model. If you look at the grill I didn't see the fog lights that are on the GT.

Same here, but something tells me this may be a pre-production GT w/o the fogs. This new V6 only has a 10-20hp increase over the old 3.8l, which was capable of a 14.9 with an excellent driver behind the wheel. Not sure if that would be enough to make up the .7sec difference.

Yeah, I thought the car was supposed to have the same performance as the Mach 1. I would expect at least 100-101 trap speeds from an Auto and 104-106 from a 5 spd. I hope they haven't gone back to overrating the engines again.

If it is a V-6, it is impressive. If it is a GT, it is pathetic.
