STi vs 5.0 mustang GT

STi is stock and the 5.0 has a rebuilt motor with ford racing parts what would win in a drag thanks.

When they race you will find out.

Excellent answer.

Then why isn't this a closed thread? :p

personally i think the mustang would be in some deep shyt if the sti driver knew what he was doing

depends. the sti is a low 13's car, and the old school 5.0's aren't tough to get into the 12's. need more information about the 5.0 (wut exactly is done), or else...wut dumped said.

it averages low 13 sec slips....on super2nr tv they compared the sti and evo and they propelled the sti to a 12.7 stock....

The 5.0 has a rebuilt motor with ford racing parts and he has been drivin stick for about a year. Now the STi is stock and he has been drivin stick for about a month.

i think the sti would win by a close margin those things are beast and are wicked fast. I been begging my dad to get one and we went and test drived it that thing takes off like a bat out of hell. when i was at the dealership the guy told me that some car company testing it got the car to do 12.1 on the 1/4 now mind u thats a perfessional driver and he can shift fast as hell and all and knows what hes doing but it gots alot of portential. correct me if i am wrong but the sti has a awsome differnental that u can control power distrubation to the 4 tires and in the locked mode u like the diffental kinda like a posi and with 300 hp on tab and a strightaway the thing is gonna fly. the sti is not really light its like 3500 pounds but isnt a 5.0 alot too like in the 4000's my 96 gt ways about 4500. the big problem though with the sti the computer is too damn smart. if u put a cold air intake to up horsepower the engine senses it lowers boast pressure to maintain 300 hp and come up with the code overboost. the dealership ahd to go though 4 different cold air intakes before one worked. The japenese couldnt crack the computer and visnhu is trying to now and if u can crack the computer then the car has a huge protentail the engine is all forged internals and can handle 25 lbs. of boost crack the computer up the boost and its slightly modifed like the 5.0 and lets see what happends ;)

but isnt a 5.0 alot too like in the 4000's my 96 gt ways about 4500.
Whaaaaaaaaat.......no freakin way my mom's barge of an Explorer doesn't even way that much lol. :eek7:

the STi is a beast and i think it will win
well i think it will win if the guy that has only been driving stick for a month can make the shifts

the sti is not really light its like 3500 pounds but isnt a 5.0 alot too like in the 4000's my 96 gt ways about 4500.

Haha, I gotta ask... where did you come up with those weight numbers for the Mustang?

'92 Mustang 5.0 LX Coupe
Weight: 3010lbs

'96 Mustang GT
Weight: 3077lbs

'03 Impreza WRX(non STi)
Weight: 3085lbs

The STi might be a tad heavier, but not by much.

Since the guy says the Mustang has 'Ford Racing' products on the motor... but doesn't state what kind of products. I'm going to have to say the STi will straight own Mustang.

I like the STI but, drag racing is what the 5.0 does best. Plus it sounds like the 5.0 has been built up pretty good. And the most important thing in any race is the driver. So with the STI driver only having driven his car/stick for a month he is really at a disadvantage against the 5.0 driver who knows his car/stick.


So IMO 5.0 > STI

what do you think the sti was sent here to do? rally race? not exactly i think subaru released it to be just what it is a badass street machine drivin by early-mid 20 males who still have the itch to race

HA!! What you don't know is that Ford Racing Parts OWNZZZZZZZ








Whatevers Dogg! This thread is pathetic.

HA!! What you don't know is that Ford Racing Parts OWNZZZZZZZ


ive only seen the seatbelt pads, floor mats and windshield banner :uhoh: :iceslolan

Thats it? well then the STI will win cause the 5.0 dosnt have a type R badge! :grinno:

look in the new hot rod magazine... the sti beat the cobra in 1/4, 0-60, and road coarse... any questions?

STI will smoke 5.0 any day of the week, what the hell kind of poll is this!!!!!

Depends on what the 5.0's got in it. You know, what's the compression, is he usin a high lift cam, what kinda gear ratios out back, does he just have a ford hi-po intake, or the GT-40 engine package, what kinda rubber does he have out back, and how good is he on the stick. It all makes a difference. He could just have a little chrome and a bunch of shit. Or he could be packin a 450 horse street beast and ain't lettin on. Who knows.

I'll put it to you this way: give me an old five oh mustang for two grand and then the rest of the cost of the STi, and I'll build you a car that will murder an STi in road course, drag, and 0-60 with horses to spare. Without nitrous too. It isn't difficult. The aftermarket parts selection for a five oh is ungodly. AND it doesn't take a rocket scientist to build.

Well, yeah, for 30 grand you can take pretty much any car and make it beat a stock new car for 30 grand.

And I'm betting on the STi, unless the stang has some very serious mods to make up for the launch. That is, if both drivers are equal. If the STi misses a shift, the mustang will take him easily, but besides that...

Thats it? well then the STI will win cause the 5.0 dosnt have a type R badge! :grinno:

no silly goose if its a GT mustang he can get the GTR emblem!!!!! sti wouldent have a chance!

hey about those numbers the guy at the dearlership said the sti weighed 3500 pounds or so and i swear but my be wrong that the sticker by more door for curb weight said 4500 well hold on gonna run and check it says gvwr is 4490 lbs what ever that is but i gussed that was the weight.

GVWR isnt the weight of the vehicle. I think its how much weight you can have in the car :dunno:


If the STi owner doesnt launch right, the 5.0 will take it especially since the STi owner has only been driving manual for a month? If the STi launches right, then the Stang will have to play catch up.

From a roll, bye-bye STi.

Theres your answer, now close :p

So did they race yet or what? I'm getting sick of the opinions of everybody STi this and Ford that. No offence but tell these guys to race already so we can close this usless thread!

This thread is one of the worse threads ever. Close this thing soon. Wait.. actually.. let me get a few more posts in so my count goes up. :icon16:
