Yes, they are heavy. Yes, they are (or were) old tech. But have you ever seen one driven in anger? They may not have the technological advantages but they aren't to be taken lightly.

And the drag racing stuff is BS, too. Driver competence is half the battle. There are plenty of guys here that couldn't even muster a 14 second pass at sea level in a 6MT if their lives depended on it. And somewhere, some kid in a Scion tC that saw a 370 pass at 14.7 is talking about how his bro with an I/E tC can keep up with any 370 because they barely break into the 14s yo!
There are also way more variables than just driver variables, one reason I hate comparing person X v. person Y in different locations. Just because someone ran a 14 does not mean he is slow or does not know how to drive.

Also, mustangs are very capable track cars stock and have a nice upgrade from factory to push them even better.
