I know of a stock 98 GT that beat you. As for Mustangs the 98 GT's are alittle faster than the 96,97's GT's cause they have 10hp more. The problem with 96-98 is the heads. If you want some decent power out of these cars the heads should be swaped for some p.i. (99 and newer) or aftermarket heads. They respond very well to mods and are very smooth running engines. My vote would be for a 96-98 4v cobra. You should go test drive one of each and see which one you like best I personally dont like driving a F-body but others do.
