Unless you ran both cars on the same day, the comparison isn't all that valid. My car's trap speeds varies from
110 mph to 115 mph depending on the Density Altitude.

Also, your Mustang's an Automatic. With your 6 speed manual, it was up to your driving skills to run a fast time.

Most LS3s will trap faster than 107 mph in decent conditions. Heck, I watched a stock L99 A6 trap 106 mph in +2000 ft. DA (hot and humid Florida weather).

My guess is if both cars were run in similar conditions with skilled drivers, their trap times would be very close. In every head to head comparison (same day, same track) I've seen both cars trapped within 1 mph of each other.
