whether we like it or not mustangs are VERY fast cars with little effort. My old roommate has a mustang with the only mods being a K&N filter and 3.55 gears and a 125 shot of nos. His car pulled a 12.20 on drag radials. That is .5 better than my Z was at stage III++ on slicks and I was running way too much boost. When a car has 150-200 more ft/lbs of torque than you do, you are going to get left like a whore who can`t give head.If the other car has the power to keep moving you will probably not catch it. I have chased cars down to win from 2 or 3 car lengths but when you are down by two at the 60 foot mark you are usually screwed.Usually.
