94-98's
5speed = 16.2-16.5 @ 84mph
Auto = 17.0-16.7 @ 81mph

99-04
5speed = 15.5-14.9 @ 90mph(yes, I've personally seen TWO crack 14's stock in good air and a good driver)
Auto = 16.2-15.7 @ 87mph




Those are pretty much spot on with my experience too.
I used to race a friend with a 00 V6 stang many times an it was dead even with my contour svt when it was stock until we broke 75mph or so. Then the contour pulls away due in part to better aerodynamics I think.
