A car is like a pair of shoes....

If a plane leaves Ny at 600 mph and a train leaves Detroit at 200 mph.
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
permanent form of government.  A democracy will continue to exist up until
the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from
the public treasury.  From that moment on, the majority always votes for
the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury,
with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose
fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." -- Alexander Tyler

Can we assume you removed some weight and added a little extra
horsepower?  Note: Most 5-oh cars weigh about 3,100-3,200.  The '93s
were rated at 215.

My guess this a 2,700 pound 240 HP 5-oh car would be quicker.  In a
drag race the '06 car would have to ]try] to regain ground as the mph
in the race increased.

Since the body stiffness, and vastly improved suspension on the new mustangs
come into play, there will be no comparison.  The new (2005-200?) mustangs
don't feel sluggish compared to previous mustangs.

Go test drive one, you will be pleasantly surprised.

They definitely don't drive the same. I own a stone stock 93 GT, 5 speed,
3.08 gear with mechanical clutch. Back on Memorial Day my wife and I took
the 2006 GT / manual 5 speed for a 23 mile test drive.

Let's start with the handling. Compared to my 93 (which has had shocks,
struts, and bushings installed and is tight), the new Mustang handles GREAT!
At the time I said something like "This thing turns like a RACE car!". Maybe
exaggeration but I really love the way the new car handles.

As far as sluggish, my 93 feels like it has more low end torque, but when
you rev up that new 3V 4.6L V8, the superior horsepower is noticable. There
was a post in here earlier where a guy who had just purchase a new stang was
complaining about the trottle response, then answered his own post saying
that with a cold air induction system and flash tune, the power was just
fine.

I've just ordered my 2007 GT last Saturday and I'm eyeing the C&L CAI with
the Diablo Predator tuner for an early mod. If you get a 2007 manual you
have to get the 3.55 gear as an option, as 3.30 is standard for 2007.

I had a 1988 LX 5.0, 1993 LX 5.0, 2001 GT and now a 2004 Mach-1.
The 1993 was a DOG.  It was at least a second slower 0-60 than the
1988.
Even steeper rear end gears didn't put it in the same class as the
other
cars.  Whatever Ford did to it in that year was "not good."
