Adam (94GT)… trust me when I say…whatever car frank drove didn’t do 0-60 mph IN UNDER 2 SECONDS… that would be one amazing task and the world would have seen video. I might be wrong… but keep in mind… Some of the worlds fastest production cars dont break the 3 sec mark.

Frank drove the 427 TT ligeneflter, it was on street tires, so yes technically in the state that he drove it it was 3.2 sec capable. With SLICKS it can pull that time, i just dont see how its that hard to believe, on a drag strip with stupid traction a car with 850 or so hp, its very feasable. Take this into consideration, it reaches 155 in 8[color=black][size=10pt] seconds![/size][/color] Also keep in mind some of the fastest cars have traction issues, limiting them to achieve their best 0-60, put a set of slicks on some of these supercars and you will see that # drop considerably…

history of the mustang,
On April 13, 1964, the first Ford Mustang was seen racing in the American Grand Prix races. The people instantly fell in love with this sporty and aggressive new car, and they all wanted one. Officially debuting in the World Exhibition of New York, the Ford Mustang was received by open arms and welcoming checks of future owners.
This all-new car was designed by Ford to compete with the sport cars of Chevrolet and Dodge/ Chrysler/ Plymouth in the market for affordable sports cars ranging in power. The first Ford Mustang had three engine choices ranging from a 105hp I6, to a 164hp V8, to a 271hp monster V8. Ford had the options of coupe and convertible body styles for the first Mustang, and the classic retro wheel covers and three vertical taillights were standard styling. In 1964, $2,400 could buy you a standard Mustang, and for twice the money, you could have the top of the line in interior and exterior options on the big V8! The new Mustang was so popular 22,000 sold on the first day, over 100,000 were sold by the first four months, nearly 420,000 were sold by the end of the first year, and the 1,000,000th Mustang rolled out of Dearborn, MI in 1966!
1965 was a huge step for the Ford Mustang. In 1965, Ford introduced the first Fastback Mustang model, which included a more aggressively slanted rear window line. In April, 1965, Ford introduced the GT Mustang, which stands for grand touring. An upgraded I6 and a new carbureted V8 replaced the three engine choices from 1964, but the GT350 came out with an underrated 306hp! With over 500,000 units selling in 1965, the Ford Mustang has written its name on Ford’s popularity list.
1966 was a year of cosmetic detailing for the Mustang. New choices of interior colors and materials were options, and the drive trains stayed the same. The Mustang was now a permanent seat on the Ford team.
In 1967, Ford changed the exterior styling to that of the popular “Eleanor Mustang.“ With elongated body lines, a more aggressively larger grill and air scoops, and the sleek fastback styling, the 1967 Ford Mustang’s looks finally lived up to its potential in power. With the help of Carroll Shelby, Ford was able to make a powerfully performing and styling Mustang at an affordable price to the everyday average person.
In 1968, Ford introduced the California Special Mustang, whit a more race friendly interior including a larger and more symmetrical gauge cluster. 1968 was the last year of the smaller mustangs in the classic era, because in 1969, the Mustang gained weight and power!
The 1969 Ford Mustang, coming in at 4 inches longer than the previous model, also had some cosmetic changes in the grill area and lighting. Aside from cosmetics, the 1969 Ford Mustang received a much appreciated boost in performance. The Mustang Grande, Mach 1, Boss 302, and Boss 429 all debuted this year. The Grande was a luxury oriented Mustang to attract the more upscale drivers, however, the Mach 1 was track and race inspired with a monster Windsor engine, flat black hood, and classic stripes. The Boss 302 was Ford’s ticket into Trans-Am racing with the Mustang. Needing to sell 1,000 units in production before competing, Ford had no problem giving these beasts to the public. The Boss 429 was the beast Ford was racing in NASCAR.
Growing another three inches for 1971-1973, Ford was planning on dropping big block v8s into the Mustang. With the fuel crisis unloading on the nation, however, these plans changed. Power dropped in this year with smog and emissions testing, and Ford used luxury to keep attracting young buyers. With more heavy emissions testing and smog control, the big V8 was dropped in 1972, and power again went down. Ford also began using net hp ratings in 1972 to make insurance lower for the buyer. 1973 called for better government crash results, and a heavier bumper was installed onto the Ford Mustang, making this baby weigh in at 3800 lbs.

Mustang II History
1974 was a sad year for Ford Mustang enthusiasts. With no v8 option and no convertible option, Ford Mustang sales went down, and the nation was being choked in the ever-strong grips of the oil crisis. The less powerful four-cylinder and V6 models were the engine options, and the mustang powerhouse took a backseat for a few years.
A little more power is offered in 1975 with the reinstatement of the V8. The same Mustang would be produced for three years in a row with virtually no changes whatsoever to cut down on production costs to make the consumer more able to buy the once sporty Mustang. Though underpowered, this V8 allowed Ford to maintain a healthy relationship with its customers, and hope was just around the corner.
Engine Options for Mustang II’s by Model Year
1974
-2.3L i4
-2.8L v6- 105hp
(No v8 option!)
1975-1978
-2.3L i4
-2.8L v6- 105hp
-302ci v8- (4.9L)- 140hp; 122hp in CA 2-barrell carburetor
Fox Body Mustang History
In 1979, the Fox body Ford Mustang is born! The prayers of the enthusiast were answered with MacPherson Struts, a lighter weight Mustang than the Mustang II, and it had more power! Ford introduced the turbocharged I4 to make up for the lack of power in the past five years, and the 302 was also a welcomed addition to the Mustang powerhouse. With high fuel prices though, in 1981, Ford again lowered the power of the v8 to meet emissions standards.
For the first time since 1969, Ford brings back the Mustang GT in the form of a 5.0L V8 4-speed in 1982. 1983 called for a more powerful turbocharged I4, making 145hp. The Borg-Warner T-5 (five speed) transmission is now brought into the Mustang, and tire size increased from 185/75/14 on the ‘82 to 205/70/14 in 1983. 1984 called for a quad-shock rear suspension to replace the traction bars, and variable rate springs and gas shocks are introduced to the Ford Mustang. This will be the last year for the turbocharged four cylinder GT. The SVO turbocharged four cylinder Mustang is introduced, and it made 175hp, had four-wheel disc brakes, a better suspension, and rode on 16″ wheels. 1985 would be the last year for the carbureted Mustangs. The SVO gets 205hp, and the 5-speeds get a 2.73:1 rear gear. In 1986, the 7.5″ rear end was replaced with the sturdier 8.8″ one, fuel injection was introduced, and compression went up from 8.4:1 to 9.2:1. Horsepower went down, but torque increased.
In 1987, the GT Mustang’s horsepower is increased by 25hp, compression was set at 9.0:1, and larger front brakes matched 15×7 inch wheels. This year, the car is 180 inches longer, shorter than even the First Ford Mustang! Mass Air metering is introduced in 1988, allowing the computer to adapt to modifications more easily. 1991 called for larger wheels measuring 16×7 inches. Generally, Mustang Fans favor the 1989-1992 Ford Mustangs for performance use because the 5.0L V8 came with forged pistons, MAF (mass air flow meters), EFI (electronic fuel injection), and a stronger main block. The last of the Fox body Mustangs is in 1993. The GT was rated at 205hp, and the Cobra was underrated at 235hp. A Cobra R model was introduced without A/C, a stereo, and backseat along with stiffer suspension.

SN-95 Mustang History
1994 called for a stiffer, yet heavier Fox 4 platform and increased HP numbers. the V8 received 215hp, and the Cobra received 240hp. in 1995, Ford introduced arguably the best Mustang yet: the 1995 Cobra R. With a deleted A/C, stereo, and rear seat this lightweight powerhouse was based on the 351 Windsor platform shared by the likes of Steve Saleen in his s351 model until the year 2000.
In 1996, Ford introduced the SOHC 4.6L modular V8 engine, and engine that would stand the test of time for the next few years. With the GT rated at 215hp, and the DOHC Cobra at 305, this new modular block proved versatile, strong, and cost-effective for Ford.
In 1998, a less restrictive exhaust opens up 10hp for the GT. The upper strut tower brace is removed for cost reasons, and the interior clock in the dash is removed as well. The V6 gained 5hp, and this would be the last year of the sn95 body style.

In 1999, the GT received a PI intake, better cams, and larger valves. The V6 also receives intake work, utilizing a split-port design and boosting HP to 190hp. The most noticeable styling changes of this “new edge” Mustang are the larger rear end, more aggressive styling, and scooped hoods. The interiors maintained virtually untouched by Ford during the year change. The 2000 Cobra R was given a 6-speed manual transmission, all the weight reductions, Eibach and Bilstein suspension, Borla exhaust, and many other race-inspired modifications, yet it maintained its street legality!
A different intake design in 2001 increased the V6 Mustang’s hp by 3hp, and the V8 remained untouched. A Bullitt edition Ford Mustang, debuting wingless and with billet accessories, a better intake, and a different style boosted the hp of the 4.6L. A supercharged Cobra rates in at 390hp, IRS, and other modifications in 2003 and 2004. The limited edition Bullit and Mach 1 offer hints and foreshadowing into the 2005 GT Mustang’s powerline.

In 2005, Ford came out with the all-new S-197 Ford Mustang. This Mustang had an all new platform, chassis, body, interior, exterior, and improved drivetrain. The V6 model was given a 4.0L V6 making 17 more hp, and the GT was given the powertrain based off of the 03-04 Mach 1, coming in at 300hp, 320lb./ft. tq.
For late 2006 / early 2007, Carroll Shelby again teams up with Ford to bring the Mustang enthusiast a new model Mustang. Shelby offers a new CS 6 Mustang, a 250bhp v6 model courtesy of a Paxton supercharger.
The speculated and long awaited for 2007 Shelby Cobra is set to debut in late 2006 under the work of Carroll Shelby and Ford Special Vehicles Team (SVT). With the most powerful Ford Mustang ever to be produced in the works of creation, this will surely be a beast of beasts in the car world, could it even compete with the new C6 Corvette?
