i just watched the Motortrend "test" of the V6 stang. i did not see any real test equipment to get accurate 1/4 times since they did it just on an open course with road cones set up. So i wouldnt swear by a 13.7, but thats just me. If you take curb weight plus claimed flywheel hp and use a rough 1/4mile calculator you get 14.0seconds. and thats not including the weight of driver and other extra stuff. Also on a side note, in the video at 0:54, i saw something that would scare me about buying that car.
The v6 may have the power to back up the claims but until theres more testing and guys that run their new v6s at the track to get an "average"... ill be skeptical of a loaned out test car that may/or may not even be "tweaked"... just my thoughts
