based on your times and that the 97s had less HP than v6 stangs that I've driven/raced, then you should beat him. new ones do have 200hp (maybe ~197hp, somewhere right around 200hp). I know they're nothing great, but I like to drive my friends', since I can spin the tires real easy, unlike my 'tour, though the handling sucks (even scares me if I drive it even close to how I drive my car).
