If you took a stock v6 mustang, lets say a new edge one. If you did nothing else except totally redo the suspension, how much of an improvement would it potentially make. make shave a couple tenths of the 1/4. i remember seeing something once on the kenny brown website that said you could keep up with a Gt(new edge) in a v6 if you made certain suspension and chassis mods. Is there any truth to this.

So long as the GT had a horrible driver then I could see that happening. With upper/lower control arms, full tubular front suspension, slicks and skinnys, subframes, removed front swaybar, drag rear swaybar, gears and t-loc, plus a TON of weight savings you might be able to cut mid to low 14's. I highly doubt anyone will ever attempt to do this, but you never know.

kinda irrelevant to the topic but i saw on some tv show where they took a carolla (i think) and chopped the sh*t out of it, like cut the roof off, cut the trunk off, took out the seats, etc. and it ran like 13's or sumthin' like that. so if ya took a buncha crap out of the mustang, maybe.
