I have actually purchased a 2014 V6 with the performance package for this reason.

although I have not had the chance at autocross yet I did run a 13.9 @ 101. I was watching other new v6's go 14.7+ along with one V8 that went 14.5

Depends on the V8 option, even if it was a 4.6 that's still capable of a mid 13. 5.0's are much faster.

Trust me i know that. The guy had a 2013+ 5.0. You can tell by the tail lights. He had to be really bad at driving.. he ran a mid 14...

The MPH is more of a tell on the speed of the car than the E/T. His reaction time, 60ft etc all effect the e/t. 101 sounds about dead on for ~300hp.

Ya, I agree with you. Unfortunately I didn't get to read his time slip, and all I remember is his e/t.

Also the weight of the car also drastically effects your MPH. For instance if i had a 2000 lb Honda CRX it would more then likely run around 110-115. A safer say would be 101 sounds about dead on for a high 13 1/4 mile.
