So, is it safe to say that Ford has given us a mid 13 sec GT Mustang?

13.69 true stock best time so far run at Reynolds, GA in somewhat humid conditions but by a capable driver. The white GT posted in dragtimes.com. Performance should only improve as the weather gets cooler/dryer. At least down South it will.-No snow in Florida during Dec/Jan/Feb. Give it some time.

Correction: 13:60 as of 11/13/04. Same vehicle/driver/track.

Acceleration hp calc Its a formula several are available uses weight e.t. or mph to determine hp. Mph is supposed to give you a more reliable hp reading. Using the 3 formulas with 3750 lbs and 100mph you get 305hp,293hp and 308hp
