So an 8.80 daily fox body Mustang isn't "ragged edge?" Please.

I'm a Mustang fan, too, especially the Cobras, but I can't picture a stock, 03 Cobra "disappearing" to anywhere other than the rear view of a light modified 400+HP WRX STI or EVO. A lightly worked B13 or B20 (especially B20) RX7 would leave that Cobra, and then some, imo. Likely even a modded Cobra.

4 cyls off the list? You must not have seen all the 400 and 500 HP 951s. I'm reasonably sure those are "fast" by anyones standards. Except maybe Schummi and the F1 boys.

I dunno, all seems like a pointless pissing match to me. Seems everyone knows of a faster car just around the corner. I met a guy at my local McDs on cruise in night that has a Lingenfelter (sp?) TT Vette. My brother's really good friend, Raz, has a 700 something HP Cobra monster. His other buddy had (sold it) a 650HP TT 350Z. Any weekend you can go to Chicago and find street races, 600-900HP imports. But then there's Henessey 1000HP Vipers. Someones always got a faster car, and it usually falls to money, skills and planning as to why it's faster, not country of origin.

By the way, it looked like that kid in the WRX was having troubles with the gearbox, no?
