George,
Thanks for looking up the numbers.
So if a 425 horse mustang goes 1.4 under it will get 3.25% Monday morning that will put it up to 440 horsepower. With only a 3239 shipping weight the hard top would end up at 3239/440= 7.36 and would no longer fit in AA it would be a natural SS/C the car is only 7 horsepower away from not fitting in stock. The convertible has a little more leeway but not much. I could see an AAA class coming awful fast!
