The Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/10/2013-ford-mustang-v6-review/) available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8 (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/17/2014-ford-mustang-gt-quick-spin-review/), while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/07/26/2014-roush-stage-3-mustang-quick-spin-review/) with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/11/2013-ford-shelby-gt500-review-video/) even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOqRKEtw1JU&list=TLF38jr3UuiGg) is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races.
