i just got the sour end of the deal this time
To be sure, stock Mustangs are pretty damn slow for the most part. And the older you get, the slower they are. My '69 Mach I ran a whopping 11.xx at Sunshine and then with $6K in mods, I dropped all the way to a 13.88 in the 1/4. That's still slow as hell. The good part about Mustangs from the Fox's to present is that they respond very well to mods. Also, keep in mind that most Mustangs are NOT V8's and are basically designed with female drivers in mind as the target buyer. Just take an informal poll as you're out there driving around. Most will be 4 or 6 cyls being driven by girls.
That being said, for the bulk of their history, the Mustangs have been faster than the Chevy's you like so well.
I think the reason you've been taking so much flak is because your kill stories seem to imply that you have been beating slightly modded Mustangs with a stock 13 year old 4 door family car. If I were to do the same thing, I would challenge your 13 year old family car with my 12 year old girlie car and totally annihilate your car in the process. (But I won't do that 'cause it just wouldn't be right)
