a 210 HP V6 against a 255HP V6 is a big jump from the stang

Yeah I was just gonna say, the only high perfomance CTS there is, is the "V" and that has a NA V8.

The regular CTS's have a 2.8L V6 with VVT for 210 hp and 194 lb-ft torque, or a 3.6L V6 with VVT for 255 hp and 252 lb-ft torque.

The V has a 5.7L V8 (LS6) with 400 hp and 395 lb-ft torque.

I would assume that the only one your Stang can take is the CTS with the 2.8L or the 3.6L (if you are the better driver, although even if this is so, it's still doubtful).

Hope that helps.

A CTS 3.6L should beat the 4.0L Mustang. Most mags have them running 0-60 low to mid 6s. It better for almost twice the money.
