not sure baout the 2000s but on the 94s and 95s if you look at the bottom ground effect on either side the 94s stop at the fender like a trucks nerf bar while the 95s curve up onto the fender just like the 96+... fyi..

OK Im gonna call BS on most of the guys on this board. Im sorry alot of the stuff yall have been ranting about just doesnt happen in the real world.
First of the supposed kill story. Sounds like the guy backed off in 3rd gear. In my 99GT Ive eaten most rice for dinner by then that guy probably had you eaten by then too. Especially if you lost traction in 2nd it would only allow him to extend his lead. Personally the kill sounds like the typical ricer flyby. You knew he beat you but you blew by him to save face.
Secondly the whole thing about a Mustang (or any car for that matter) not being able to produce but 150hp just because it has 160k miles on it. Where did you come up with that? Ive seen myself cars with that much milage on the origional motor dyno 190hp at the rear wheels on a stock vehicle! Thats about 215-220hp at the flywheel. Also Mustangs come in from anywhere from about 3000lbs to about 3800 tops for some convertables. My GT tips the scales at around 3400. The imports youre driving are high 2000s low 3000s. No where near 2000 even. Heck even the mostly fiberglass Shelby Cobra weighed in at about 2200.
Lastly no one on here hardly lists what kind of car they have and what kind of mods they have. No dyno sheets no timeslips at the track excuses of not having the $15 bucks to go to the track. So where did the money to wax a 215hp Mustang GT (if you did indeed run a 94 GT and not a V-6 converted to dual exhaust)with a 135hp Honda?
Once I see some real evidence not bench racing Ill go along with it until then Im gonna throw up the BS flag.

BTW and not to sound like a d#$@-
3400 lb with 243 hp = 14 lb/hp
Theoretically a 2200 lb import only needs 157 hp to run right with ya. Take that same 2200 lb car and have it make 300 hp and see what happens. The 3400 lb car would need 463 hp to keep up!
Thats the magic behind the imports. Not huge power outputs just fantastic power to weight ratios.
Unfortunately my import weighs 3400 lb with me in it and only makes 203 hp at the wheels.
