In A 1/4 Mile Race Which Car Would Win?

These cars are all now on sale, meaning you can buy them new for 2003, I picked the best V8, V6, and 4 cylinder I could think of for less then $30,000. So who would win> Ford Mustang Mach 1, Nissan 350Z, or Subaru WRX, or if you have a car (now for sale, meaning no EVO or STI) for under $30,000 and stock add it to the mix.

I think this comparison has been done already...to some extent...the Mach 1 beats out the 350Z in the straight line but if the twisties show up...it shows the Mach 1 it's tail...not to mention the superior build and reliability of the Nissan

nice reply...

why not just answer the question?

the mustang will take it.

and they don't handle that bad really, considering it's got a better suspension than your regular gt and what not...

they don't handle that bad...

its been tested already. the mach1 had a better 0-60 time, but the 350Z was sooo much faster from 60-80 and 80-100. the highend on the Z smokes the Mach1 in some occasions as bad as by more then 1 second from each rolling sprint. so like what many said. 1/4 does not tell the entire story of the car's straight line speed.

tat II is right the mach 1 is faster in the 1/4. That what is was designed for. Big V8 will win against V6 or turbo 4.

And i totally agree with you but he did ask which is faster in the 1/4. It was painful but i had to agree that the mach 1 was faster in that respect cuz of the V8

The different car option threw me since that opens it up to lot of options.

I threw that last one in (different car) hoping someone would think of a car that would beat the mach 1, since they now cut the production numbers and it probly will be impossibe to find one if you actually want one.

i think the dodge neon srt-4 turbo should be on that list. well under $30,000. 1/4 in 14.2, 0-60 in 5.6 seconds (according to car and driver). it should fare pretty well against those. but i'm not sure if it can take the mach 1 in the 1/4 mile. it should be about even with, if not better than the 350z in the 1/4 mile.

but to answer the question, i'll have to go with the mach 1
