No kidding. My buddy's bone stock Mach 1 put down 269 rwhp. That's about 320 hp right there.

E55 AMG + Mustang GT

1st run we ran up to about 110. I pulled about 2 lenghts on him and quickly leaving him. But I think I got a jump on him.

Next run was 80 - 105. I pulled 1 lenght on him there. It was a very even and clean start.

I got a clear feeling that my C55 is going to walk this car pretty hard above 100.

I don't know what HP the stock 03-04 stangs have.
The 03-04 Cobras come with 390 hp and tq stock. They have a supercharged V8 engine. I always thought they'd be able to take a N/A 55 AMG, but I've yet to run one.

Yea, there is no way he had 390 in that thing. It was pretty clear that my stock C55 was pulling him.
