You are right! The old Rustang 5.0 needs some serious work to keep up with
the Camaro beast.

Uhhh...the Camaro SS/SLP does the 1/4 in 13.2. That's from the factory with
1200miles on the car. (Buddy in San Jose has one and he tested it out just
to see if the test reports are accurate. Yup, and the 325HP is dead on as
well.) Since he used to drive a Supercharged 5.0L, his statement on the
performance of the SS/SLP edition Camaro is worth it: "The Paxton
Supercharged Mustang 5.0L doesn't stand a chance against this beast. Maybe
with extensive modifications but not with a simple bolt on blower."
