[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 1839285, member: 9628"] That is the thing most don't remember, the fastest advertised production Mustang from the muscle car era. is listed as the 71 BOSS351. This car ran consistant 13.8's. The top end was the low 100's because the car had its non overdrive 4 speed and a factory 3.91 gear. As for handling and braking, well, it did well for its day, but, not anywhere near a 4 wheel disc brake mid 90's Cobra. Since 13.8 is the accepted fastest 1/4 mile time for a vintage Mustang and the 71 BOSS 351 pulled those times repeatedly, that puts many, or a should say most, of the other vintage high powered Mustangs into the 14's or slower. I don't want to sound like "mods are wrong". No way do I feel that way. I was looking at a Pro-charger for a 95 2-Top that I was considering. I might still do it on the one I bought. Yes, 240 (or what ever) h.p. is low, but is was what was needed in its day for the competition. Robert [/QUOTE]
