I have driven probably every single type, style and kind of Mustang out there. The feel and the TRUTH are very different. Like said before a smooth 13.0 car will feel slower than a low end grunt 15 second car!
A 96 Cobra stock vs a 93 LX 5.0 stock is not a contest. Both with good drivers and good track, the LX low 14s, maybe eek a 13.9, the Cobra mid 13s, maybe eek a 13.4. Its an easy half a second faster car, not to mention after gears it makes that gap even larger!
Take the 0-40, woopy, 40-120 is a LOT more area to run away!
I really want to pick up a Mach 1 but might go with a 96-98 Cobra just to see how easy 12s are!
