The V6 Mustang, perhaps.

My GT coupe weighed in at 3496 lbs(1/4 tank of fuel included) before I added my supercharger and the entire kit including coolant for the intercooler added 89 lbs. So I find that weight claim of 4100-4200 lbs a bit high, the GT500 with a heavier cast iron 5.4 block and 6spd manual weighs in at just under 4000 lbs. Other options like the Shaker 1000 sound system adds more weight than the supercharger. 89 lbs for an added 200hp at the flywheel is a pretty good trade off in my books.
Still not even close to the weight of a challenger.
There was a Challenger SRT-8 out at our local track a couple of weeks ago running 14.14's at 103 mph. vs stock 07 GT's running 14.10's at 98 mph. Our track is at 2100 ft above sea level and the DA was around 3400. The stock GT's owned the SRT at the 1/8 mile then the extra hp and torque of the 6.1 came into play and they closed the gap on the top end.

car was def either not broken in or the driver needs to learn how to launch (yes even an auto). but I am saddened by the crappy driver pullin in 14s. Not even the new RT does 14s lol.

Like I said our track is at 2100 ft above sea level so if you corrected the times to sea level it would be in the high 13 range.
My last time out I ran a 12.45 at 115 mph with a DA of 4200. Sea level corrected that's a 11.82 at 121 mph. Altitude, temperature and humidity can all play a big roll in ET's.
