Yep...they sure do...and the Bullitt, stock, pulls well past .9 G on a skidpad...Better in tests than both of the other pony cars...Camaro & Challenger, despite their IRS set-ups.

The Mustang weighs less than the Camaro, which weighs less than the porky Challenger. It's the nimble one of the three.

That's it...oh, and Traction bars for preventing wheel hop. Otherwise, box stock!

My 2010 MazdaSpeed3 is rated at 14.4 and 100mph on the 1/4mile. Not bad for a 4cyl turbo!

_____________________ Everyone knows REAL auto racing is done one-quarter-mile at a time. All that pressing on the throttle ...then the brake...whipping the steering wheel left ...then back to the right ...more throttle ...brake again, all the while driving around in circles in a search of some elusive Finish Line? Just borderline schizophrenia I say! ![]()

Drag Racing: The premature ejaculation of motorsports.
That being said, quickies are good on occasion.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team, and not the bullschit.
