Not bad for a <$10K car. > From: donz@tekcbi.UUCP (Don Zocchi) I'll bet your enthusiasm does not take into account one or both of the following: 1) The Mustang needed a tune-up. 2) The Mustang was an automatic. 3) The driver of the Mustang didn't really know how to race. 4) The driver of the Mustang didn't really want to race. 5) The driver of the Mustang wimped out at some point. I know that in my Capri with the 5.0 V8 I can put it in second gear and go from 10 to 60 in 7 seconds, at which time the tach reads about 4600 RPM. The Daytona's and the Laser's are nice cars, but I still think that V8's are faster. Michael Bishop Fort Collins, Colo.
