GSR Vs Mustang V6??

ok, this kid from my school wants to race me. He has a V6 pony :hehehe: Anyways, i just want to know some of the specs of the pony (if any of you know them) and i want to know how bad i will beat him and if i will. I feel dumb asking but i dont want to lose to a pony.:o Thanks.

What year?

i dont know if he has any mods, but if not, you will have no problem. trust me. when my friend got a 98 v6 mustang (auto) we raced back when my car was bone stock. we were dead even the whole way to 80 and mines not a gsr. so you will kick his @$$ if its stock auto.

Well, my sister has a '96 stock, automatic mustang. I have driven it and it doesnt even come close to feeling as fast as my 96 GS-R(stock). I say go for it and then laugh at him and call him scooter at school.

stock EXs eat V6 mustangs no problem

go go go, you can do it, trust me. Heavy car+heavy v6, is no match for a gsr.:devil:

lol i have the same problem kinda....... This kid's mom has a red 66 rust-stang and he swears he can smoke any car in the highschool parking lot his has a 289V8 and its bone stock...U guys thing i can take him in a 94 GSR

stock ex's eat mustang v6's?........ ok i'm an import guy, but i don't think that stock ex's can eat mustang v6's.....thats pushing it... what r u runnign on, hopes and dreams....hahah

Well, the 1999+ LX weighs in at aprox. 3100lbs and puts out 190hp @ 5250 and 220lb-ft @ 2750. The 94-98 LX weighs in at aprox. 3100lbs and puts out 150hp @ 4000 and 215lb-ft @ 2750. You make that call on your own car :smoker2:

A GS-R will kill that V6 Mustang. Even more if it's an auto!

Ok, good i was just making sure. BTW it's a 5 speed....do you think that will make much of a difference? i dont even know if the kid knows how to drive or not so i'll just laugh at him when he looses. "It's a pony, It's a pony" :D

There is a little difference between auto vs manuel but in this case its not significant enought. Just make you you dont spin your tires too much when you take off. Practice your lunch, if you havent already:)

Well im sure he'll spin the tires either way you look at it because he thinks his little V6 pony is "soooo bad"...lol, haha, :hehehe: So i know i should be able to take him tho but just wanted to make sure. Thanks for all the help.:D

Why are you making fun of a V-6 when you drive a 4 banger?:confused: I'm not tring to flame or anything.

the GSR will beat the v6 stang, if you have any driving skills. the v6 stangs with the new body style has about 200 hp and probaly more torque. i doubt any stock ex civics can beat a stock v6 stang though.

00gsr: what car are you talking about? does the LX mean base? i dont think the v6 mustang is called ''LX"

LX is the base Mustang

actually i think it is an LX

'95 gs-r 0-60 mph 7.1sec

'96 mustang v6 convertable 8.6

'95 civic ex 8.9

'66 mustang (289ci) auto 10.9
'64 mustang 289 v8 7.5

new V6s run high 15s i walk on them all the time, so you should have no problem

(4 cyl + vtec) > (6 cyl+ pony)

... except for the supercharged Grand Prix will be OBLITERATED by an Integra GS-R. OBLITERATED.

(these are personal results, in MPH, racing my practically-stock (just intake) 2000 GS-R against american cars)

Thunderbird LX: over 10 carlengths back on a 0-100 run. NO power.
Camaro (96+) 3800: 3-4 carlengths back on a 0-100 (very good driver, too)
Mustang LX (up to 98): SO far back (12-15?) on 0-100. A 5-spd Civic DX can keep up with one of these.
Mustang LX (99+): 5-6 carlengths back on a 0-100
1997 Camaro SS LT4 30th Anniv. Limited edition: about 10 carlengths ahead of me! though I saw him get beaten by a NOS'd MR2 one night :)

The only decently-powered V6's I can think of off the top of my head are the Nissan Maxima, Mercedes SLK320, and the BMW M3... OH MY GOD what crimes I would commit to get my hands on an M3!!!

The super'd Grand Prix will get beaten by a slightly worked-up 'teg (intake and new tires, actually). They do a 0-60 in about 7.2 stock, so it's a very even race. What it comes down to is the driver who best knows their car.

1. M3 is an inline 6, not a V6
2. i dunno but i thought the SLK had a fourcylinder

anyone?

the slk used to be 4 but when the s2000 came out, mercedes got scared and put a 6 i think, well what ever they have right now, its still cant beat the s2000.

True - the M3 is one seriously mean inline 6...
The SLK comes in a 230 and a 320 - 230 being their inline four 2.3L and the 320 being their V6 3.2L. Though not as fast as the S2000 stock, the SLK320's are very modifiable.

Yeah the new generation M3s are 13 second cars...the second to newest is still a low 14 second car.... my buddy right now has a 98 or 99(the year before the changeover) m3... but this coming fall he is getting on the waiting list for the 2003/2004 m3... its bonestock except for his license plate..

i say go for it ... mustangs around here in the valley always trying that shyt around here too and thats cuz mine is just an ls ... if i can take a v6 auto you should be able to smoke him like a fat man does a turkey:bandit:

good luck


ahhhhhhhhh im over run by all the neons i see lol

:D i should laught at you only running 16.1. what do you got an automatic.
my pony is running stock 15.5 on the 1/4 v6 2002 ya its a pony but this pony will whoop yo lil 16.1 you best return it and buy a real car.maybe a real mans car something with a stick shift. what am i talkin about you probaly don't know what a clutch is:p

gotta agree with that mustang owner on this one..my friend brett has a 2001 with pulleys, cold air intake, exhaust, and new rear end gears, and he pulls between a 14.6 and 14.9 consistently. and he's not all that great of a driver. but the mustang sucks on the interior.

haha he said get a real car and he drives a V6 mustang
that made my day

lol that is pretty funny...i never has any respect for v6 stangs until brett got one and beat my slightly modded 2.2 cavy down. either way, a real mustang has 8 cylinders. thats a real car. a real import has 4 cylinders. thats a real car too.

Dude You'll rape that stang........that's wjat i did with my 99 Accord V6 I

raped him too.....so pretty sure that he never gonna see your

face....:D :D

I have respect for Cobra and Cobra-R but no respects for GT and LX b/c

they sucks :flipa: :flipa: :finger: :finger:

why don't you have any respect for gt's? they are essentially the same v8 as the cobra, albeit not forced induction like the new ones, they have a v8 and can hit 12's easily with some bolt-ons. some nitrous or forced induction, they hit 10s and 11's. there's a guy with a gay purple colored GT in my town, and damn is his car ugly but he loves to make DSM his bitches. even the gsx guys take off out of the whole but he catches them within the next 200 feet. its a torque monster compared to any honda engine that isn't using forced induction. not to mention he's smoke your AUTO accord. (snicker....auto...snicker)

I know he's gonna smoke me........but 4.6 only pumping 260????

3.2 V6 Acura TL and CL Type-S pumping same hps.....

and also RSX Type-S can get him......how embarrassing with V8 smoked

by 4cyl....

I had a friend who wanted a mustang so bad but couldn't drive stick, and one day he goes to me yeah I'm getting a mustang and then he tells me a V6 Auto...and I told him not to get it, he will be laughed at and especially a guy driving a v6 auto stang is like driving geo metro! lol other than the girls will look at you a little moer in the stang. Finally I convinced him to get a V8 manual and I told I'd help him learn standard. In the end he got a Chevy Extreme, but after that I will be getting a mustang but I won't be there to teach him manal so I'm hoping someone else does

umm... thats just over the top assumption. weight wont make a difference when Stang has more power overall and connects better with rear-drive. if the civic was modded that be a different story.

where do you get off thinking that an RSX can beat a new mustang GT? a GT will smoke a new RSX. a new RSX gets, at the best, like 6.5 seconds 0-60. a new GT can slam it down in about 5.3-5.8 seconds. and it beats it in the quarter mile. and also, the Type-S might have as much horsepower, but it used technology like DOHC and variable valve timing. and, it makes nowhere near as much torque as a 4.6 v8, and it's power peak is much higher in the RPM range. The RSX would never beat a GT, unless the driver of the GT sucked ass.

No Respect for GT? Its still a decent V-8 that'll outperform most stock imports. I dont get why people have the assumption that stock imports are better off the lot than american muscle. I like both, but that rice attitude of my civic\accord\integra will automatically kick domestic ass... IT CAN, just it takes a lotta work and mods... you have to make your import better than a stang, its just a grocery getter off the lot. Anyways saying you have respect for Cobra and not GT like sayin Type-R's are good but GSR's can lick a nut.

thats true as well. The GT mustang deserves a lot of credit. It is a damn potent car. And an RSX is at least half a second slower in the 1/4

What do type S RSX's run in the 1/4? the new GT's run anywhere from rare high 13's to the more common low 14's. I doubt the RSX is faster than a high 14, because thats what the ITR runs.

ninja... I had to drive a '91 MPV for the longest time... I HATED THAT THING GRRRRRR. That thing fat, ugly and heavy... I raced my buddies Toyota Previa and the thing spanked me... I even had that little power button clicked down (o/d?!?!) Anyways... how does it run with intake an exhaust.

stock RSX Ss have run 14.6 but 14.8-15 is more common

:grey:
ok, first off, I own a GSR and a V6 Mustang. I must admit that my GSR only has Intake and Exhaust....but so does my stang. I have ran my Stang and GSR on the same track, with the same shifting techniques. The Stang has more power, and more tourque. In a straight line the V6 Stang beats the GSR by a couple seconds....which if you race, is a lot to you. However, on a road course, the Stang cannot corner as well..however is about even because of the straight aways. Then american V6 is just too powerfull for the import 4 cyl.....but I love them both........just to give you insight on your challenge: the stang v6 is sluggish durring first gear, so if you have a chance, it's at the start line. After that, it's all horse power and shifting.

a couple seconds? i think you must mean a couple tenths of seconds

damn! rsx type s' are that quick?! man.. i never thought.. oh well

i like my mpv! hahaha.. its cool for my first car i guess... its a lot better than some cars other folks drive.. so i'm somewhat content. i didnt feel much gains with the exhaust mod, but i do like the sound. its quite funny to hear the flowmaster in my chinese people mover(The van). the k&n drop in filter made throttle response better and gave me a little better performance(very marginal though). i have the middle seats removed, so its quite comfortable in the back.. i also have two air conidtioning units.. so thats cool too. its cool just to cruise around in the van and listen to the exhaust note.

hahah! the power button is dope!!!! haha.. iduno what it does.. i guess it puts the car in a little more aggressive mode? i dont know.. its cool though.

another good thing about the mpv.. it is capable of some pretty sick one-wheel burn outs... plenty of smoke availible.:)

Ha those middle seats take up a lotta space... the room is enormous in back. Oh the good ol days of hot-boxing I miss, man my buddiez and I get that van so thick wit smoke muahaha. Im suprized it lasted as long as it did, 140 someodd thousand miles before we sold it. No major problems even tho the chinese mover van was notorious for having tranny problems. My first car too! They made those things in 4wd too! :eek:

the chinese people mover currently has a little over 147k miles on her... the trans was replaced at around 135. butt man, the trans is weeeak!

Your Van that brown\tan color by chance?

All i know is when my gsr was pretty much stock it would beat 94-98 5-0's 2 to 3 cars by 70 mph. It would kick the shit out V-6's. All it had done was intake, header, exhaust, camgears, and a home made test pipe. That is pretty much stock no internals, no new manifold. It ran 14.3@97 on the steel 14's with 40$ firestone 185/60/14's. So i know a gsr has much more potential than most people speculate.:flamer:

don't worry man, you will beat the v6 mustang...if you are stock or not, you will beat him...you will murder him on high speeds, they are especially slow up top

the last V6 i raced, i rolled on him going up a hill in my torqueless car. youll do fine. but this is an old ass thread, so youve had ample time to race. id like to see some results

I own a 2000 Mustang V6 it is an automatic. I run at the track every week and I get beat by ricers quite often (no offense). My fastest time stock was a 16.01. I am running a 100 shot now and run in the high 13's to low 14's. I ran tonight and lost to an Acura Integra Type R he ran 14.1 and I ran 14.4 I also lost to an Eclipse I ran 14.5 and he ran a 13.1!! obviously not stock, anyway, I just read that the you thought the Maxima was a strong V6? Why is that when I was running bone stock I beat a 2002 Maxima 16.1 to a 16.5? We have different tastes in cars but I wouldn't be so cocky about beating on the pony's you NEVER know what they are hiding in their saddles :-)

that maxima driver must have been a horrible driver. the 2oo2 maximas are faster than that.

Being a huge mustang fan, I have to agree about people always thinking they can beat Mustangs. The V6 mustang has alot more torque and power than people give it credit. They can easilly be modified to run just as fast as other modified cars. I get tired of people in modified honda's talking sh_t about Mustangs. I don't get a bonner if I out run a stock civic. Not all mustangs are fast, not all are modified, not all run the 1\4 in the same time, but for some reason people race one idiot with a mustang and they think they can beat all mustangs. I guess as a mustang fan, I should be pleased that people feel the need to brag so heavily about beating a mustang. After all it is something to be proud of.:flipa:

People brag about beating a V6 Stang? :confused:

Civics are a lot more reliable than a stang...

I dont mind a V8 manual Stangs but come on...v6 auto is just buying it for the look and if someone brags about one when its not modified to be fast...they have issues..

And I have friends with Mustangs and I think the newer ones look nice but their just not me.

I agree they have issues, I don't think they are fast, but I also don't think civics, preludes, accords are fast either. I just get tired of hearing people argue over whats faster. If you want to be fast, then buy a car that was made to go fast. Don't argue over slightly modified slow cars beating slow stock V6 mustang. You can modify anything and beat any stock car. I'm just saying don't brag about it. Brag about how much time you cut off your 1\4.:frog:

Clate,
Why would you say the only reason someone would buy a V6 auto mustang is for the look? I am sure people like the look and that is one reason to buy and maybe for some the only reason. Why would you buy a Honda Civic? For the look? They look like grocery getter to me. Granted you can buy body kits wings etc, to make them look sporty, but a Mustang looks sporty from the factory right? Ok, so here we stand, you have a grocery getter and I have a sports car. Now, you are going to spend alot of money to make your car look fast, while I am spending money making my car go fast (it already looks fast :silly2: ). You act like a V6 Mustang is a slow, family car, only the V8 is worthy...A stock V6 Mustang can beat a stock Civic anywhere anytime. A GT is in a totally different class it will kill a stock Civic. My point is if you want to talk about a V6 Mustang being a fluff, you should be driving a Viper or Porsche etc... you are not thinking straight. You drive a 4 cyl. economy car, you have no right to bash a 2+2 seat 6 cyl sports car. It may not be blistering fast stock but I know your car is not either and your car is a family car stock the Mustang is not. Through this post I said your car is....I am talking about the make not your personal car, just trying to make a point about how your logic tyou are bassackward. I have a V6 auto mustang and I bought it to make it fast, no one expects a V6 auto to beat a GT, unless that V6 auto is mine, I like that feeling.:smoker2: I guess I did buy it for the look, it looks like a "slow" Mustang but runs like a raped ape.

The reason why I would buy a civic is because there very reliable and have a great resale value :D I dont think you need to buy full body kits and wings to make a car look like a sports car. A simple lip kit, wheels, and drop and your set. I don't consider a *stock* V6 auto mustang a "sports" car. I cant remember what there 1/4 is but its high 15s or low 16s right? A stock integra gsr could beat it. I could spend no more than 1k and have an engine with low mileage and be able to beat your "sports" car. Did I ever say what cars I owned? How do you know I don't own another car and that my civic is my beater car? Currently it is my only car but there is no point of buying a car now when winter is coming shortly so I won't be able to drive my next car in the winter. When I think of a sports car I think of a Cobra, Supra TT, RX-7 TT, Corvette, Viper, Ferrari, Porsche, etc. I don't think of a V6 automatic stang. But the thing is my car ISN'T considered a sports car and its very reliable and for 1,000 I could beat your "sports car" and still be very reliable. And sorry if this sounds like I'm coming at you but I'm not I'm just sick of stock V6 auto stangs thinging they are the greatest in the world, but since yours is modified I have respect for you and that it is fast. Have you been to the track with it? I had a friend who had a 89 auto(99% sure it was) v8 stang that ran 11s. What do you have done to yours?

I have Nitrous on my car now, I am running a 100 shot and run in the low 14's with lots of wheel spin, I also have a shift kit in it so I spin too much in second also. I agree that a V6 stang in not in anyway a true sports car it just looks like other true sports cars (Cobra). What I was saying was that a Civic doesn't look like a sports car (to me) people have different tastes though. In the end though I have to tell you I am very disappointed in my engine it is slow without the help of Nitrous, it ran 16.01 with the shift kit, which is faster than any stock V6 auto or manual I've seen run. So I am getting a new engine soon, ordered it said it would be ready in under 4wks, that was in June so it has been 4 mos that sucks. What do you run at the track?

I've actually never brought my car to the track since I only have intake and exhaust done and I know that doesn't do anything other than make it "sound" like it has power. I also don't wanna take the chance of messing up my car at the track. I've had different plans for it but since its an ex coupe its one of the heaviest civics, so I think I might sell it for a hatch and do a swap and boost. But I'm still deciding though. Yeah I'll admit the civics don't "look" like a sports car and the hatchbacks look more like a road race car. Which engine are you getting? Good luck on your car!

00-Stang: what motor did you order??? and what kind of tires do you have? the stock pieces of trash?? damn.. you run 100 shot? thats a good amount of n2o. What type of nitrous set up do you use? wet or dry? and when do you squeeze?

hot rod magazine featured this s/c v6 stang that ran faster than a n/a cobra and was also cheaper to build than the cobra. the v6 was out of a f150 though.
