1) Not Likely, but anyting is possible
2) Not sure but I would imagine 19-21 MPG.
3) Premuim
4) No, but I did go from 2 stangs to Gs. 00 GT to 04 G and 06 to 07 G. Biggest difference is there is much low end torque in the stangs, but the VQs rev much higher and smother.
5) IDK
6) 07 will be a drivers race. All others not likely. Also keep in mind S197 are easy/cheap to mod. CAI and Tune picks up 20+ RWHP and RWTQ.
7) Probably, but that is all part of the charm.
8) Can't say, but I hear it is noticeable.

The VQ is already tuned to its peak, you won't get a ton of extra power out of it but there is a posibility you will get at least 20 hp from just all bolt ons. Anything more you will need to go FI.

An 05+ GT Mustang against a [revup] Z would be, a driver's race. IIRC, the Stang GT's are 300HP and 240TQ.
I've run my 06 base Z against a friend's 06 GT Stang, (stock for stock) at the track, and we go back and forth all the time. He wins. I win. He wins. I win.

On the other hand since people don't know the difference between a Shelby GT and a Shelby GT500 I would be surprised if you were racing a V6.
Sorry but a 04 Sedan is slower than a 05 REV up 6mt with MREV, Stillen Intake, Stillen Exhaust there is a big difference. No BS. You can't call BS since you were not there on every race I had at the time.

I find it hard to believe that the 07 S especially with no 1/4 times performed really yet is faster than a 05 REV with these mods. On a dyno my 05 REV made more power in the powerband than the 07 S does stock. Plus the 05 Sedan is about 200lb lighter than the 07S is.
Again, it was several different model mustangs, and years. I have ran GT stangs at MSR and passed them in the straights. They are NOT all that fast. They have NO top end power.
I have a frined that had a 00 GT 5MT stang. He ran 14.3 at 99 mph at the track bone stock.
Gears and Intake he got it down to 13.8 at 101 mph. Even then its not that much faster than a stock G or Z.
