I have a 05 V3 5speed Mustang, feels like it has less torque than stock
my 90 SC Bird. It a lot easier to have the tire go up in smoke on the
stock SC Bird with every type bolt-on, than the stang. The Stang feels
to me to need a higher gears in the rear. Havent looked yet to see
what the rearend gear ratio is.

Heres some info for you, and it looks like the V6 is faster than a STOCK SC.
