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

[Rod&Custom]

"Shine" is an understatement.

and u know what... a STI costs twice as much as a mustang v6 and $11000 more than a GT. the new cobra is in its price area tho, and i guarentee that will smoke any of those cars straight line or not.

....paitiently wait for the new cobra.... im pretty sure that the kiddies will be all over that (even w/o a giant spoiler).

thats what i plan on buying when i get outa college 460hp and IRC or solid axle choice... only difference between the 550hp motor in the ford GT and the cobra is the positioning of the underdrive pulley... i bet it wouldnt be to difficult to move the back down. oh yeah, that IRC pulls more than 1g on the skidpad. lol i like the spoiler joke... so true.

ok man your fighting a losing battle... this happens all the time, some 4 banger guy comes on here and argues and we prove him wrong and he eventually gets iritated and starts flaming and gets banned. why the hell are you posting on a mustang forum?

I second the losing battle comment. Sure they are faster in stock form, but if you think the fastest of Evos and STIs can hold a bumper to the fastests of Mustangs you dont belong on these forums. Perticularly, I dont think you belong on the Mustang forums at all.

So what about the little ricer punks running around here with park benches super glued to their trunks? Dont see them driving evos and sti's. They are driving accords and neons ect. But those are your kinda people right?

Go away...

LOL, me banned?
Think that if you may but I've been here longer than you have and has yet to be banned.
What is it that you have said so far to prove me wrong? And wrong about what might I add?
I'm sorry, I don't remember ever needing permission to post in any section

Why do you people always make things into a domestic vs imprt war? I just listed the reasons why people like the so-called 4 banger POS's over V8's and such.
How does one "belong" to a forum? Because I don't drive one? What makes you think that I've neve even driven a Mustang?

And what about the riced out Mustangs?

[TheStang00]

you listed why people like the 4bangers... ok great. i dont see how saying the fastest mustangs are faster than the EVO's and STI's is turning anything into a import vs domestic war, thats the truth basically. i never said u were wrong about anything... we havent tryed to prove u wrong on anything yet, and it doesnt matter how long youve been on here, if u get banned u get banned. hell i dont even know what we're arguing about, u admited a 4 takes a turbo or s/c to beat a v8 and ur right that those cars come stock with a turbo so u havent said anything wrong. but like i pointed out earlier those cars cost a lot more than a mustang GT. the mustang in a similar price area will smoke those cars, the cobra, and i dont think u had a problem with that cause u didnt say anything back to it. you said mustangs cant handle but thats a comon misconception, they actually handle pretty well, and u can buy upgrades for the rear to make up for the axle, and the cobra comes with a IRS if u want it, and it pulls over 1g on the skid pad. but seriously though when you pointed out why kids are all over those cars, i disagree there, i seriously think its because of the fast and the furious. after that movie is when all these people started ricing out their neons and shit and its retarded, if u have a legit fast car though i think its cool, but u have to do a good job with it. problem is people try to do that shit and they do a bad job of doing it. but its unrealistic and wrong to say a 4 is flat out better than a v8. my whole point here was price, a STI costs 36k, a mustang GT costs 25k. i think its pretty easy to see how they can make that 4 cyl faster than a v8, and actually the new GT beats a STI 0-60, havent seen the quarter time for that car tho so idk about that. i dont really think theres any argument about the gas though, under normal conditions a 4 cyl will be better than a v8, but if that 4 cyl is beating a v8 then its still using a ton of gas and maybe just as much as the v8. i think the guys on here were just saying they prefer the v8. the reason we get so defensive is because retards with a riced out prelude or something always come in here and say how great there 4cyl is and they beat a mustang or something and their full of crap or they spent 10 grand on mods and the mustang was a 150 auto from the mid 90's. with those people we usually end up proving everything they say wrong and they get mad and start flaming and get banned like i said. happened not to long ago actually. and when the guy said the fastest mustang can beat the fastest STI's well thats the truth really, a new cobra has 465hp and 495tq and it costs in the mid 30's

damn i didnt realize how big that was lol

Yeah it was but good post.

Ok everyone take it easy in here and try to stay on topic. I will say one things about gas mileage and performance. When the HP numbers go up the gas mileage goes down I don't care if it's a 4 banger or a V-12.

Usually similiar HP numbers will produce similiar gas mileage numbers. Those turbo 4 pumping out 300+HP are just as thristy as a 300+HP V8. They need similiar amounts of air and corresponding stoich fuel amounts to match the air. The only reason gas mileage shows better in their favor is cause of the weight of the car and that is also why EVO's and STI's feel like tin can death machines on steriods to me.
