SSR vs Mustang. I have both...love both. Both totally different. Can't compare them side by side. If I had to choose(could only own one) it would be the R. But for $27,000 and a little more for the Convert...a Mustang GT is a reasonably priced toy.
My 02 is capable of 13.9 out of the box in stock form ...under ideal conditions. (not me driving it). For a 2 valve 281cu motor it has the juice.
Mechanically it's been one of the best Rides I ever owned. Only goes to the shop for upgrades.
I'd like to see a S/C'd SSR paired with a Blown Ford Lightning

I have had blown Lightnings in the past a 99 and an o2. They are suprisuingly fast and with a few cheap mods, chip, ported and polished S/C, and pulley, they run in the low to mid 12's. About the same as a blown LS2 SSR 6 speed. Should be a close race. With the above mods and an upgraded valve body the Lightning can shift "Lightning" fast and it would take a good driver to keep up. I have numerous videos of lightnings embarrassing Dodge SRT Rams at the track. The lightning is more of a truck than the SSR as far as utility, but of course is a fixed roof and doesn't handle as well as the SSR . I eventually got bored with the L because I like the involvement of a stick shift and really enjoy running this sweet sounding S//C small block Chevy thru the gears.
I have also had nuvmerous stangs, incliding 4 valve cobras. They are still a lot of bang for the buck in the car world.
