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.

They probably made the pass dragging the ebrake the whole way to keep the naysayers yapping. Then they'll do the press launch yanking the front left off the ground

Or that's how it SHOULD be

Even if I saw the video (or even taped the video) I'd be HIGHLY scepticle about a stock fox body running 13.2. A stock fox body with hidden nitrous running 13.2? Yeah, I'd buy that.
