Theoretically they could have an advantage with the 6-cyl, because there is no minimum weight for a 4 or 6 cyl car in AI. V8 cars have a 2800lb min (with driver). They would have to work real hard to make that a practical advantage though.

The other notable good point is the suspension; front SLA & IRS vs. McStrut & stick axle of the Mustang. The aero Cd is probably slicker than a Fox, but it's a bigger car so it probably has more frontal area... they might even out.
