That's a Negitive. They are faster stock(13.9 and we got the slip to prove it) then a lot of cars including 350z/G35, Mustang Gt,

You need to edit that to say "some Mustang GT."

Not all 5.0 era cars are GTs with high mileage, whaletails, and incompetent drivers. Clean stock 5.0 LX tunks can hit 13.5's easily.

The 96-98 4.6 cars are solid 17 second rides, y0!, but some of the 99+ GT will spank you.

I had a young man tell me Foxbody 5.0's run mid 13s. Were the LX Foxbody the ONLY 5.0 for that bodystyle? Well, I walked a Foxbody 5.0 and a newer GT 500 4.6 and I KNOW I'm not 13.5 on street tires even though we went from a roll. And I want to run an SRT-4, but the times I see them put up isn't what I'm getting down to or see happening without minor mods.

You're right JD. I was just trying to make a point. By the way I'm want to clear something up I don't own a SRt-4, I'm just saying the cars are pretty quick.

A FWD that can't run 13.5 can quite possibly - quite usually - hang with or smash RWD cars faster than that from a roll.

My take on the SRT-4 is that most run pretty well stock from the factory, and there's a 40/60 chance a lightly worked one with the boost turned up is going to be pathetic/strong from the seven or eight I've seen. Probably a problem with sorting the car, you know how it is.
