Muscle Car Numbers From The V6 Model



It still seems unbelievable. 13.9s @ 100 from the standard V6 Mustang
-- better numbers than most all the 60's-70's muscle cars, better than
our beloved old 5-oh cars (including the Cobra), and in lock-step with
the 4.6 DOHC Cobras. Hell, you have to go all the way to the '03-'04
Mach 1s to find a Mustang that'll beat it. Makes you wonder how well
the next generation entry-level Mustang will perform.

Motor Trend recently got their hands on a 2013 Ford Mustang V6 and
have posted a full review and test results on their web site. The
magazine praised the car’s performance capabilities, saying that “it’s
evident the Mustang overachieves in almost every major objective
test.” Their test car, equipped with the optional performance package,
hit 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds and passed through the 1/4 mile in 13.9
seconds at 100 mph. “It can accelerate, turn, and stop quicker than
most of the competition,” they went on to say.
