Okay I will use time for both the auto and the stick so there is no confusion. All these times are from motortrend.
Car 0-60 1/4mi 60-0 Skidpad Slalom
Chrysler Crossfire (5A) 7.1 15.18 @ 93.34 114 0.87 66.0
Chrysler Crossfire (6M) 6.7 14.74 @ 93.99 113 0.87 66.0

Ford Mustang GT (5A) 5.1 13.60@100.00 120 0.87 66.1
Ford Mustang GT (5M) 5.1 13.51@103.64 125 0.87 65.4

For fun:
Dodge SRT-4 (5M) 5.5 13.96@102.7 112 0.87 68.3

Well the mustang, is no doubt faster than the crossfire. But the crossfire doesnt have as a big as edge in brakes to make up for the power. And handling seems to be a wash. Pretty damn impressive for a solid rear axle.

Lookie that! The SRT-4 out slalomed and out braked the braking monster crossfire. Thats strange, must be a misprint.

And the dyno numbers for an automatic mustang GT can be read in the 10/04 issue of motortrend.

Looks like you need to read some more X'ed. Or stop choosing articles that best suit your needs.

Cheers!
