Well, it was actualy built for both drag and track, but yes, the rear end in the Mustang is VERY tough. Those 1.6' 60s are probably with ET Streets.

So far the fastest stock Mustang is somewhere in the 12.4x @ 112+ mph zone. With an intake and canned tune they are playing in the 11s with a street tire and a solid launch. Emphasis on solid launch. As with all high-hp cars (Z included) it's all in the launch. If you can't get traction, or if you just suck, you're not going to be running those headline times.
