Mustangs are overrated tho. Back in the day it was much worse. Remember the 98 cobras w/ 320 hp that couldn't break into the 13's lol. And did you just say that 300 hp mustangs dyno at 220 hp to the wheels?
Yea i used to F*ck w/ ricers so bad back in the day, i feel bad now that i own one. The Si is a bad ass little car, finally w/ some balls, thats why i bought one. That and i can get over 15 MPG too =D. We may have bragging rights over other imports (excluding the turboed ones) but no we dont have bragging rights over V8's, so please dont try lol.

I read that the 98 cobras came with the wrong intake manafold from the factory and that manafold cut 50 hp out of the car. Once Ford found out, the cobras were back in the 13's.
My $0.02 having nothing to do with the above quote: The cliche "there is no replacement for displacement" is a cliche for a reason. If you put the same amount of equipment on two cars, the one with the more displacement will put out a lot more power and assuming they have the same "track" set up, the one with more power will win. Through my years of loving all cars, and small cars in paticular, i have met many import fans that way over rate their cars straight line perfromance. Its a shame that so many people are under read in a subject they claim to love soo much. Not just under read in the numbers department, but the amount of money it takes to get 100hp per L without FI. Only Honda, Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini produce N/A engines that put out 100 hp per L. How much does a Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini cost? At leats 3 times more than a Mustang GT. I love imports for the twisties not the straights, the reliability and the gas mileage. If i wanted to go fast in a straight line, i'd own a mustang. A wise man once said, it is better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are a fool than it is to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
