well those are magazine times anyways and they are always wrong. Car and Driver or Road and Track can't drive a car worth crap. Their times are almost always slow.

btw mid 12's are the norm on the stock tires, which suck for straight line traction.

89dx that car was probably dynoed on what is called a mustang dyno. they make what they call a real world dyno which they say is better than the dynojet. They have been known to be anywhere from 40-70hp off of a regular dynojet. An 03 Cobra dynos at 380+ rwhp on a dynojet from the factory(those cars are majorly underated) and on the mustang dyno they make 320 rwhp. same car just different style of dyno. even a dogged out 96+ Cobra isn't going to dyno at 240 rwhp on a dynojet.

you can bring that all you want but that is really a matter of preference. not that I don't think that hondas, eclipses, and others aren't nice looking cars but I prefer the look of the mustang. Sorry guys. Oh by the way I do own an import. I know you guys might be shocked. It is an 03 Mazda 6s. Granted, almost everything on it is a Ford part, even the oil filter from the factory is a ford piece. I would like to turbo it one day for a little more kick but it is my wifes daily driver so it really has to be done perfect if I am going to do it.

OMG, first of all its all opinion. And second, my opinion is that Saleen/Roush and Older GTs look way better than any body kit honda, with a huge bench for a wing.
