You'd be surprised. My x-girlfriend had an '04 stang gt with the 4.6L. Out of the hole she would get a car length on me and I would have to work to catch up (wasn't launching hard). From a roll at about 40 I walked away with ease, those 4.6s run out of breath at higher RPM. Once rolling, torque doesn't matter, its all horsepower (and our 600 pound weight advantage).
