If you've never tried or seen autocross, check out this video. Sorry, no Stang content, but decent footage of one of the fastest (regional) autocross courses in the country:

If you want see how an old-school Fox-body autocross lap times can stack up against late-model IRS SVT Cobras:
<9/4/04 NE-SVTOA Club, Total Class Entries-11, Trophies-4>:
1T
#198 1999 SVT Cobra
141.208 best
-
2T
#17 1999 SVT Cobra
143.001 best (1.793 back)
-
3T
#23 David Grutter 1991 Mustang LX 5.0
142.363 (+2 penalty)
144.675 best 'clean' (1.674 back)
-
4T
#16 2003 SVT Cobra
146.255 best (1.580 back)
-
P5
#13 1991 Mustang LX 5.0
147.826 best (1.571 back)

Then 6 other SVT Cobras in the 150s.
All times on a very similar course to the one in the video.

If you like 1/4 mile, you should try your local autocross or open track. Autocross is cheap, open track is pricey but worth every penny.
