The thing here that bother me is the 1/4 time of 13.0 sec @ 109.6 mph. I mean, heck, the 2002 Camaro SS could do that with an intake and a very good driver. The mustang (2005-2008) GT with a very good driver is more than capable of running 13.4ish with a 1.6L difference and 115-122hp difference. I for one will be dissappointed if the Camaro SS (6M or A6) averages anything less than a 12.5-12.8ish (with a slightly better than average driver). Do I have a legit beef here or is it just me? I just "assumed" that the Camaro SS 6M will perform ever so slightly better than the GXP for <$11K difference. I don't want to have to do a single mod to spank a 2005-2012ish Mustang GT with mods such as: full exhaust, gears, intake, and tune. Perhaps that is unreasonable. Ok, feel free to flame me if you think my rant is unreasonable.

I do think that if you are expecting 12.5 1/4 mile stock, you will be disappointed. There may be a few select who may reach that after getting used to the car .. however, I do think the average driver may get to around a 12.8. I'm going to say that MPH will be around 111 maybe 112 with a good driver. It will also depend on conditions ..
It will be interesting to see what the magazines can get out of the car though
