Assuming stock for stock: A few cars at the 1/4 mile? If its a 6MT, definitely not. It should pull just a little bit at first with no gain after the first 1/8 mile.
I completely agree on the solid rear axle being easier to launch. I couldn't believe how easy launching my brother's 2008 Mustang GT is, even with inferior tires. I could launch it with consistency 9 out of 10 times. And its definitely cheaper to make power...way cheaper and easier.
A 93 octane tune could probably gain as much as 20 rwhp. It's believable considering that its a V8 waiting to be unleashed from it's cage.
Anyhow, the Mustang GT lives at the 1/4 mile. That's where it really belongs. But people underestimate what a properly driven G35 6MT can do at the 1/4 mile. And those 5AT's with a few drivetrain upgrades can get the job done just as well. (The new 7AT is a whole difference beast).
What year Mustang did you own? AT or MT?

Believe it or not, my RSX had CAI, header and reflash and it would beat G35s and new a/t mustangs. 14.2 @ 100 with ****ty tires.
My mustang is a 92 Lx(the only mustang worth owning), cam, cut '71 boss heads, cobra intake mani, CAI, MSD and full exhaust. Its not too fast, but its bulletproof, sounds great and dirt cheap to modify and maintain. G35 is def. faster from a roll. I'm gonna be pawning it off soon so I can finish the suspension on my SS(much better platform than ANY mustang, IMO.)
I'm looking for somthing to wake up this G35 a little. So far I have 5/16" spacer, test pipes and Ztube. Should tuning be my next step?

Not only is the solid axle easier to launch, but its much more durable. If you've ever launched an IRS car on drag radials, you know what i'm talking about. I could see my 6mt pulling a GT from 60+, but 1/4 mile is a stretch.

My coupe back when it only had HFC and exhaust was faster than a similar DE coupe with a 5/16 Spacer and Test pipes. (Different cars, Different drivers, but was faster.)

My brother has a 06 mustang gt and we raced a couple months ago we raced about three times to see consistency and every time first and second gear were close but as soon as I would hit third gear I would start pulling on him to about a car or car and a half all three times it was the same outcome. I also raced an automatic Gt a couple days ago and it was the same outcome except when I shifted to third I started pulling on him a little faster than the manual I ended up about two car lengths ahead so GOOD LUCK and keep us posted.
