Mustang=Dawg???

[emjlr3]

Ive heard all of the stories, v6 maros eat up v6 stangs, and can hang with pre 98 gt stangs....yea yea yea....and that new zs can eat up new gts.....

so yesterday I went with my friend to test drive a 98 stang she was looking to get, I figured what a great chance to see if it could hang with my car.....we went out together for a lil while, then i went and got my 2k v6 maro and we went driving side by side on roads.

then i told her to show me what it had from about 0-75, from a stop light i expected it to hang right with my car, and that hopefully in the end I would come out on top


boy was I wrong.....that thing was a complete dawg...in the end at about 55-60 i had her by probably 5 car lengths EASY when i started letting off it, granted i got a cat back, hf cat and CAI, but no way did i think it would be that bad

so i went online to see what the heck was going on, come to find out those things only have 150 hp, and 215 tq....no wonder it was silly slow....the thing couldnt even squeal off the line

so i began to wonder, maybe maros are really faster then the stangs...i went searching around and did some calcs to find some power-weight ratios...and come to find out in the newer v6 stangs, they have a higher power-weight ratios then the new v6 maros, and the pre 98 gts have way higher ratios, and the new gts have higher power-weight ratios then new z28s

granted most sites report that z28s are indeed faster then gts, i still wonder why that is....but then most sites ive seen report v6 stangs as being faster then v6 maros.....what is the deal??????

anyone???

dawg = black guy w/ bad speaking skills

dog = slow car

and you might want to put what year and engine your car has in your sig so people know what your talking about

Power to weight ratio isn't the only determining factor in racing, especially on the street. You have to take into account the drivers, the condition each car is in, the amount of traction off of the line, the weather, the reaction times, auto vs. m5, stock vs. modded...There's a lot more to it than just the power to weight.

the auto stangs have ****ty transmissions. first problem.

manual ones aren't nearly as bad.

second problem is their hp/tq numbers. In almost every case, they are just slower.

(I had a mustang. Nice car, not an fbody)

Auto stangs are just horrible. Manuals are way better. Ive beaten plenty of 6cyl stangs in the bird but i did get killed by a hot blonde in a newer 6cyl stang....damn 3.4's

It all depends on the driver and how well he knows his car. Most auto people just mash the gas and go

hehe, other then powerbreaking at the beginning, is there really anything else you need to do?

[speedracer95v6]

After building a little rev(1500-2000) just let off the brake and keep the throttle down.

Check out the Mach1. Ford finally got it right there. And I think they have a better compression ratio for supercharging.

Coming from the guy that just posted about a local event in the Lounge..

the suspinsion on mustangs is horrible. in the book "How to install and use Nitrous Oxide" by Joe Pettitt, they race a Z28 and a fox-body 5.0 with juice of equel levels. the camaro won because of it's better suspinsion
