The 2013 Mustang has only started to arrive at dealerships, but already both customers and performance shops are already having fun with their new pony cars. The only thing we haven’t seen yet is someone take a 2013 Mustang to the drag strip. Until now.
American Muscle, who recently took delivery of their Gotta Have It Green 2013 Mustang project car, headed out to Cecil County Dragway in Maryland to see what the car could do, and the results are certainly impressive. With just 200 miles on the odometer and a tank full of 87 octane fuel, the 2013 Mustang’s 420 horsepower 5.0L V8 propelled it to a 12.74 second run at 111 mph. As a comparison American Muscle ran a 2013 Mustang V6 Convertible in the next lane that ran a respectable 14.92 @ 95 mph.
You can watch both 2013 Mustangs run at the drag strip in the video below.
