I seriously doubt that 1/4 mile time.
I beat a new V6 stang all the way to 95mph, thats way more than a 1/4 mile lol

Either way, they're nice cars. Still not up to par, in my opinion, but its the only sports car out there right now. (not considering a GTO a "sports" car)

Oh yeah, My cuz has a 02 mustang v6 5 spd, and when I had the maro he would talk **** because I had an auto. So we would race and I would murder him and he never talked about it again. Well when I got the cavalier he said, You are driving a *****ng cavalier now, atleast it a 5 spd. I said wanna race? He says ok, I whip him again and now he won't say **** about cars to me. He also has a mind of a ricer, Big wing, Big mouth body kit, dual fart cans, euros ect!

[RallyRed 98]

good trap speed in the 1/4 for a paper filter auto... looks like ford finally cranked out an acceptable automatic transmission.
