I found this in the 5th gen forums, its a link to a story about a guy trying to figure out how a Maxima was able to beat him!

i once raced with that generation of mustang 2 on highway. i easily took him off my way. that generation is the worst one. the new one is faster now for sure. and i dun think my 99 max can beat it up now

 

I can vouch for the sluggishness of the 95 - 98 'Stang GT's. The new versions are a different story be careful with them. Lots of stealth mods possible.

 

the new GTs...ive beat an auto (really close)

as for the 5spds, ive read they they can hit 13.9.

 

yeah, the 5 spds are a good bit quicker. To get the most out of them, the driver has to know what he's doing. I just got rid of my '96, so I'm speaking from experience. I don't know about other areas, but it's hit or miss in MD, where I'm from, about what you're racing. A lot of the people with 6's are putting fake duals on and a lot of the Cobra owners are going stealth to appear llike a stock GT.

 

What about the SVT Mustang? How does it stand with the stock Max? Would an SC'ed Max do the job?

 

You'd need a supercharger and a slew of other mods to beat a Cobra(SVT). That is if the Cobra is stock.
