Obviously there are exceptions to this, as conditions can affect these greatly. I've heard of all 3 trapping higher, and all 3 trapping lower.

FYI, for as heavy as everyone makes the mustang out to be...the listed curb weights are closer than you would think. The GT350 is listed as 31 lbs heavier than the SS while the GT is 57.
IMHO, trap speed just shows which car has more hp. Torque gets you going and will be used way more often the high mph.
