Read the post carefully.......I said the Mustang had a blown 308 with 4:55 gears and a T56 (6 speed) and Lakewood drag shocks and springs with a cushion. That car not only was putting out some serious power (like 500+ probably) but it squatted like crazy, hooked up and took off. He would have raped an AMG man, that was a fast car. From the specs, I'm guessing that car was capable of a 10 sec 1/4 mile. If you have ever seen or are familiar with a Mustang with those specs then you would realize that they are almost impossible to beat unless your car has a drag style suspension available for it. Not even an AWD car could hook up like that.......at least not right out of the box. Then on top of the hook up is balls to the wall horsepower. However I'm guessing on a road course that the 308 powered Mustang I saw would not handle too well.......but then it's not set up for road courses, just runs on the strip or from a light. FYI, that Mustang would also laugh at Vipers.......it was QUICK and I saw it with my own eyes. It made my car look like a tinker toy!
