I Hate Old Ricers!!!!

could you explain to me how something so heavy with only 170 hp run 15.5 1/4 so close to the rsx type s that with 200 hp and way less weight?

One, they aren't that hgeavy. Two, they have decent gear ratios, and three, it's been a while since a V6 Mustang had 170 hp. They have 200 and 225 lb ft of torque.

That last is the key. See, the larger displacement V6 has more torque over a wider rpm band, down low where it really works to accellerate a car. Accelleration in gear ALWAYS follows the torque curve.

Basic engine building. Once kids stop magazine racing and actually get some experience building engines in a wide variety of cars, they'll see that.

v6 mustang top speed isn't great but it has so much torque it is great for everyday road rage.

I dont know where to start with you guys, some of the things you say are so ridiculous, I bet most of you are 16 years old. But here we go...

So don't go around thinking it is the slightest bit good- it isn't- understood? The kid had good premise to to look at your car

And there is nothing wrong with these Japanese cars- they are strong reliable cars- perfect for someone with limited finances- so don't hate on them.

Performing worse than a econo car?? It will beat your beloved Civic Si and most of the other econo junk you love so much. ChrisV already
touched up on this.

This is doesnt even deserve a response because that statement alone shows your complete ignorance.

If I liked junk there'd be a guaranteed place on my front lawn for a V6 Mustang

HAHA! last i checked Ford OWNS Alpha Romeo, this is definatly the funniest post I read, and youre a moderator for Alpha Romeo forums? hillarious...

It isn't fast, it has very little power and a lot of weight to push around, and that equals a slow car. You are about as fast as that Gallant that you called a piece of shit.

Next time you want to bash on cars have a little more knowledge, because you just ended up making an ass out of yourself. Besides, not everyone likes American cars, just like you don’t care much for imported cars.

As stated above a V6 mustang will smoke most imports stock vs. stock, and im talking cars around its price range, I dont want to see any dumbass remarks like "well a turbo eclipse SiR Ex Si R will smoke it" heh.

Kobal, ChrisV already addressed your dumbass remark about nobody buys mustangs to race, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Yea people buy 1.8L economy cars to race instead. No thanx I have a Coca Cola bottle in the fridge with more liters.

The Mustang 4cyl was NOT a piece of shit. the 2.3L OHC was a much stronger engine than the 3.8 will ever be.

Blown your 3.8L headgasket yet? just wait.

Stupid comments like that one make me sick, I bet you know nothing about the ford 2.3L. That engine turbo'd like crazy, and took massive mods.

If any engines in the stang, it starts with the 6's... the old inline 200ci, the new 3.8L and the old 255ci v8.

Ive driven a very very sweet turbo 2.3L 1988 t/bird as well as an 1985 Ford Mustang SVO (both turbo intercooled) and they were FUN to drive and lasted a looong time. (tbird turbocoupe = 87,88 car of the year).

Yeah, very shitty 2.3L

mustang V6's are decent and contrary to popular beleif they are pretty reliable. Ford did have some reliablility problems but they came along way. The feul injected 5.0s werent that reliable but the 94 style and higher was more reliable. i think ford had problems with getting the feul injection right for awile. But imports are great, i loved my 240sx. Turbo that KA24DE and it could take almost anything on the street. That under 10,000 for a 12sec p.o.s import including the price of the car. That can beat a new cobra if im not mistaken and they cost what over 30,000$. Do some internal work and crank up the boost, even more faster. I would however like the have a 94 5.0 w/ a super charger and exhaust done, you just cant that kind of sound with a import. I like imports and domestics equaly as much but when you have a 12sec import it has alot more alure then a 12sec mustang because there quite common. I go 2 miles to mcdonalds and i see 5 mustangs on the way. I like stuff that not alot of people have, my 240sx is special that way, being a 12sec car makes it even more special. I dont think people should argue like this, its very foolish. "my car is faster then yours" go to a course and proove it.

Firstly you ignorant prick- It's Alfa Romeo and yes Ford owns as much of Alfa Romeo as Honda owns of General Motors NOTHING!!!!! Alfa Romeo is a part of the troubled FIAT SpA wihich is under the Umbrella of FIAT Auto Group. GM has a small stake in the FIAT Group and the FIAT Group an even smaller part of GM. So get your facts straight before humiliating yourself

[skrow03GT]

sorry, confused it with Aston Martin. Dont have to talk sh*t, Im sure youre a real "big man" online arent you

[fognog2]

Anyone who puts down a mustang has obviously never driven one. You just dont get the same feeling driving a japanese tin can. I want to drive a REAL car not a weedeater on crack. And I have had no problems out of my 3.8 V6, 20+ year old Mustang.

ive driven 3 of them

89 5.0 convertible (tight car)
94 v6 convertible (piece of shit)
99 v6 coupe (also a piece of shit)

if you buy a mustang buy the whole car ... dont skimp out and get the v6 ... moron.

[intrusiondetectd]

I've driven a 89 Mustang GT, 01 GT, and a early 90's Cobra (or at least that was what it was badged)

pieces of shit

goes to show that duh-mestic owners think truck engines makes a car fast and capable of dominating all...

here's duh-mestic logic
truck engine = performance
bigger = fast

so using duh-mestic logic wouldn't a dump-truck engine be a fast performance engine?

I love it when the mullet-wearing freaks think they can walk all over my beater dodge... then when I spank their ass I do add insult to injury when I tell them it's the Mitsubishi 6G72

"my car can beat any import"
"oh yeah, can it beat a ferarri?"
"that's not what I mean, it can beat any jap car"
"really, care to race a nissan skyline and say that again?"

chew on that losers

Oooops, looks like someone made an ass of themselves. I find it funny that you did the same thing to him in your post before that, but then he comes back and kicks it back down your misinformed throat and you start acting like a child with stupid petty insults.

Also, how did I make an ass of myself? The V6 Mustang has a meager 174 HP and has to push around 3,800 pounds. Sorry, but that equals a slow car that will never hit the 15s. Get real, you're a moron of you think otherwise.

Just the fact that you are comparing your "rice rockets" to a v6 mustang is funny. The v6 mustang is NOT a sports car, and is meant for people who like the mustang look, but dont need the power. I would never drive a v6 stang, sorry. And before you make a dumb comment like "Sorry, but that equals a slow car that will never hit the 15s" go to the track and open up your horizons a little bit. Out of the box the lowest performing mustang still beats the highest performing jap car for the amount of $$ spent. I am talking about new cars out of the box, stock.

Im just wondering now, whats the sticker price on a new skyline?

[Jimster]

Thats only because over there you don't get many decent Jap cars for cheap- I can buy an R33 GTR with maybe Exhaust and Air Filter mods for the same price as a new V6 Mustang, where I came from- if not even less- due to the Mustang not being sold there, and then mods would be cheaper for a Skyline than for a Mustang, so would parts- by a significant amount. So look outside of the deprived (car-wise) continent you live in and expand your horizons
