silverbullit5.0, i agree with you and know your car can run what you're saying man. I had an 87 GT, from intake to oil pan was BONE STOCK (valvetrain also). My mods were...3.73's, MAF meter conversion with 75mm Pro-M, U/D pullies, bypassed the A/C & smog pump, headers & exhaust w/o cats, and alum. drive shaft...not to mention it was FULL weight (no reduction except for fiberglass hood), and had 178,000 miles on the odometer! In this trim, i ran consistent 13.74's to 13.82's and that was launching like on the street...about 1500 RPM's as to save on wear & tear! With a hard launch & slicks, it would drop to 13.5's, although i only did that a few times! Some of the GM crowd wouldn't believe it was basically a stock motor untill i had to pop the hood and prove it to them! So yeah, i fully believe ya bro. Keep moddin that thing, and drive safe.
New GT's can run anywhere from a 13.8-14.3 depending on the driver, ive seen some sick ass drivers, and i can believe the 13.8. 95LT1 dont get me wrong i think the LT1 and LS1 are both ridiculous engines, my best friend has a 99 SS, and i love that car. He has an assload done to it though, so he takes me by about 4 cars in the quarter so i cant really compare anything to that.......

That's very true...They can hit 13.8's but i haven't seen anyone on these forums sites that can reach it......I'm gonna borrow my friends 99 GT and i'm gonna race a 13 second STI and show you how a good driver can make the difference.

if that 99 is stock you're gonna get raped...unless the subie driver sucks more than rwd.
True..it's just to prove my point...If a mustang is driven by a good driver they can run 13's....He's a fair driver....As soon as the weather gets better where gonna try them...that's if my friend will let me drive his car again..the last time i raced in it....He wet his pants....that was funny.
