Ah, BTDT, too... lots of Stangs around. Actually, I think a stock 302 w/AT
would be lunch for a 5ktq. Certainly my 87 5kt (Flowmaster and cold air
intake, determined pilot) eats those regularly around here.
The 5ktq was said to dash 0-60 in 7.7 by the factory brochure. I recall
5-speed Mustangs doing it in the low 7s. AT- 8 or so? The Audi also has
what, 3.89 or 4.11 gears? I believe that a lightly tweaked MC is more than
a match for a 302...
