There are a couple late model Mustang GT's that drive in my subdivision. They sound awesome!

Against the older ones the 'S' should go faster but not by alot. Assuming you had a manual transmission and he had an auto (which is what most people get) thats why it turned out almost neck to neck.

Him pulling a away from the 3rd gear and after is the reason of V8.

I have a 2006 Mustang GT as a work vehicle and I don't find it that much faster than my 2001 base model Box. Sure it has more horsepower and torque, but the thing feels like a tank compared to the Porsche. I have snow tires on the rear and with those on it does feel like you're driving a boat.

A few years back, when I was younger and more aggressive, a GT blew my doors off at highway speed, I was in my 944. I knew we were coming up on curves in a mile or two, so I shadowed closely behind, speed about 90. Once we arrived at said curves, I saw his taillights ignite, at that same moment, my accelerator was to the floor. I blew past him at 110 plus and swept the turn with ease. He tried the next mile or so to catch me but that wasn't happening. As another member mentioned, the sound of the Stang is sweet, but it is only a balanced sports car in the misguided minds of it's owners.
