Up and close with new GT, I don't know - Page 2

well as stated earlier the 05 GT beats the 04 GTO. but we are talking about the 05 GTO, it has the 400 hp LS2. It beats the new mustang by a narrow margin. i dont know how a mach1 would hold up but it would probably fall slightly short to, GTO costs more than the new GT tho.

I haven't read any stats on what the new GTO. The guy at the show said is would do low 13's but I'll believe it when I see it on paper. However making 400hp he might be right on.

The new GT is a great buy for the price but I think I'll be holding on to my pushrod for a while.

I got the Jan. 05 C&D issue.
mustang GT vs GTO:
1/4 = 13.8@103 vs 13.3@107
0-60 = 5.1 vs 4.8
lbs = 3575 vs 3787
gears = 3.55 vs 3.46
base $ = $25 vs $33.5
HP = 300 vs 400

C&D give the mustang the win by a very slim margin. Ford finally did something to these cars to make those bastards happy.

You know what I saw it but I didn't even walk over to go look. Way to many kids climbing all over it.

I dont know why people love these cars so much (Evo + STI). I mean sure id take one, but id probally trade it in for a v8. Seems everyone is in a franzy over them. I use to be one of the people who was like omg that car is awesome...then I grew tired of it. They look like toys too. Im not dissing them, because for a 4banger they perform, but just no longer my taste....

Who cares about gas when it comes to performance.

Yeah kids love those things, they can have them. For me there is nothing like the sound of a throaty V8. Ahhhh the smell of smokin tires I love it!!! Untammed, unrefined, and down right pissed off sounding.

All this talk about good gas mileage and smooth efficient operation makes me wanna puke.

In Autoweek they have the Mustangs weight at 3483lbs.

When a little 4 banger blows the doors off a huge V8 engine whilst wasting even less gas...that's a huge deal.

Plus those things are more than just straight line racing

here we go again...

I'm sorry but any one who talks about a 4-banger beating a v-8 is stupid. All these kids always brag about how they beat a v-8, Blah...Blah. You'll notice that the only way a 4-cyl can beat a v-8 is if you turbo/sc a 4-cyl and spend thousands of dollars to beat a stock v-8. And like 'eillob' said, an import can NEVER compare to the rumble of a v-8! And this talk about imports aren't just straight line racers, well neither are v-8's. I know plenty of v-8's who could school any 4-cyl any day of the week!

It absolutely amazes me all the 4cyl bench racers that come here and preach about blowing away V8's.

If your into modding 4cyl's mod away. I don't hold a grudge against anybody who wants to modify there car. But don't come here and bench race.

There's more than strait line racing? Well isn't that wonderful. I could give a rats a$$, but thank you just the same.

The only racing I recognize is strait line racing. If you guys wanna put up a bunch of cones to dance around in a parking lot somewhere thats your business, but don't try to sell that crap over here because we're not interested.

LOL bench racer

I just answered a question of why the STi's, EVO's and SRT-4's etc are so huge with public demand.
If you didn't like the truth, not my fault.

It's about fine tuning, and yes they have to be turboe'd/supercharged to beat a stock V8. I'll give you that, but also know that these cars come STOCK with turbo's.

I could care less if it's a inline-4, v6 etc... You Mustang owners really need to be less defensive...

Im not going to go on the offensive/defensive, but like I said they are just not my taste. However when you take the v8 and turbo it then put it against the turbo4, you will see the 8 shine.
