Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

damn that fast, and thats just a regular gt?

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

Dont the 99-03 Cobra's run low 13's

That is pretty quick, throw in some nitrous and some slicks and youve got an 11 second ----- puller

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

too bad somewhere between concept and production it lost every bit of styling credibility with me. sorry

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

Cobras run low 12's on street tires with about $1,000 in mods (intake, pulley, chip, and exhaust). They are pretty damn fast.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

thats not too fast, its respectable, but not crazy.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

like hell. the new mustang is a pretty bad as car for what it is, next to price, and out of the box performance. I believe you can pick one up for around $25K brand new, give it a year, and you can get one for $15-20g's. I would buy one.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

or i could take that 25k or 15k or whatever buy my z for 6k, drop 1k of mods in it and run a 12.7 on stock suspension ;)

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

or you could buy a cobra for 6k and do the same thing :P

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

quit being a ricer. this is a brand new car. not an used car.

[ricer]i could buy a 68 chevy truck for $100buy slicks and drop a blown 502 in it and run 9s for 3k![/ricer]

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

cobras run mid 12s completly stock. i think the average "car magazine" tests put it at 12.6

the new mustang has some punch.

lets compare stock to stock :-p

old POS TT z car. 15 flat.
new shiny mustang ~13.5-13.6

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

it costs 25k brand spankin new. gimme a break.

what import car costs that much and is that fast.

STis and EVO8s are 35k and can barely beat this car.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

Faster than your car. :P

you could buy an s2000 for 33k and run 14-15's al night ::)

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

all i know is if an import company ever decided to build engines with large displacement they would own the american muscle bigtime

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

what an idiotic statement.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

w3rd :-*

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

All I know is that if chevy wanted to make a two seater it woud run 14's oh wait damn never mind

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

Yeah cause Hondas main concern when building the S2000 was how fast it could go in the 1/4 mile ::) And if your running 15's in an S than you need to buy an automatic

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

lots of people run 15 flat+ in them, bad launches.

but i dont see how hard it could be to launch a torqueless car.

well i guess it could be hard, not BOGGGING it :-p

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

You can't blame the car for the face that people can't ------- drive.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

well not really.

but maybe the car is hard to launch?

maybe we can compare the ease of driven two cars :-p

auto camaro press the gas spin 3 times over and go
5 speed s2k bog off line run 15.3 :-p

i dunno. i like s2ks alright cept the underpoweredness

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

Stop with the stupid ricer comments. ::) If you don't know how to drive thats THE DRIVERS FAULT NOT THE CAR. Make all the excuses you want but if you can't drive a car to its full potential than its YOU not the car. Ease of drive my nuts ::) The S2000 has way more torque than any GSR, Type-R or SI so are you saying that all these cars are too hard to drag race with? ::) And as for the S2000 being way overpriced compared to the Mustang well just compare the two: A Mustang with all the options as the S2000 has a retail of $31,175 compared the the retail of the S which retails for $32,950. And we don't even need to compare the fit and finish of both.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

a 05?

im sure they are on par and id go with the 05 gauge/interior

any torqueless car is hard to drag because there is a fine line between bogging through 1st and spinning tires with a clutch drop

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

I would have to agree with johnny in this mod E-arguement. For some reason, I really like this modern "american muscle" that has been comming out. for some reason... I also agree with what ravage said about "if imports came out with a large displacement motor it would own all domestic" -look at the new toyota truck, it came out hard and fast, and it looks to be doing pretty well in the truck class. Now if the imports wanted to build a car that went straight and thats all (as american muscle thinks) it would kick some serious ass. ~IMO. 99% of imports out there are not intended on straight line driving. Look at the stats on all of the cars, in the slolom imports kick domestic ass. in the stright line, domestics kick import ass.

Bacially, it all boils down to what your preference is. If i were to buy a $25K car right now, it would be between a used evo, a new mustang, and a SRT-4. Most of you will say thats comparing apples to oranges to grapes. but when you put all 3 next to each other, they all stand up pretty nice to each other.

evo (i would buy used for price reasons)

srt-4

all vehicles priced within about $5000 of each other, and all compare about the same to each other in all performance areas.

well around here you can pick EVO's and STI's a bit cheaper.

Who will win in the snow though? ;)

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

In my opinion the SRT-4 for the money, 19k, was the best performace car out until the mustang came out. The gt for 25k has a lot of potential, and might be the best new car as far as performance go for the money, but, like mustangs in the past, there will be way too many of them on the road and will become boring. At least here in Florida, they are a big rent-a-car, well car ;), and there's way too many mustangs on the road.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

actually its not faster than my car, since i ran a 12.7, want me to post the slip and pwn you more? ;)

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

what are you tryin to say? "i ran a 12.7 for less than that"

good for you, you also arent in a brand new car, that is unmodded.

if you cant run 12.7 for less than the cost of any brand new car no matter what it is, you are a ------ idiot. ;)

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

my friend with a STI ran a 12.9 with just downpipe, and how am i the ------ idiot, ive made 3 turbo setups, built a sohc turbo engine, what do you have to show for all your thousands of posts? a slow ass sohc that cant beat a stock b16, you need the shut the ---- up until you do something worth while, and the reason i left hondas was because i wanted something rwd that was more of a challenge to work on.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

considering we were on the subject of brand new cars, then you post "i ran 12.7" kinda come across to me that you could go faster than any new car for less money. which is why i posted about you being able to go faster than 12.7 for the cost of a new car and you were a ------ idiot if you couldnt.

Re: 05 mustang at the track
 

everybody has made a good point here. I personally think Whitey right about you can't fault the car if the driver doesn't know how to drive it. And I already think that the import technology is a little better than american technology now so if they wanted to they could make their cares much more powerful than the domestic cars. Someone said in a striaght away domestic would owned most import cars that true. In a track Import would own Domestic. I quess it all comes down to peference. But the mustang seems pretty fast for what it is. Im curious to see how the new cobra would turn out.
