Hey, uhhh, GTR2.7L... your from Japan... do you think you can send me a R34... any model would be fine... always wanted to try one out. I'll send you money!

Gtr2.7L · #32 04-04-2002, 03:56 AM

I can pick you up a used R34 for about 30,000....less than 25k miles. But you'll have to pay
Motorex the 25k for U.S. conversion and shipping. Let me know....

ya, stock 94-95 cobras only make 240 hp, but that was decent for 1994. The 96-98 cobras make 305hp and the 99-2002 make 320 hp. But, for 2003 the cobra makes 390hp. By the way there are very few stock cobras out there. The 94-95 are easily modefied due to the large volume of parts.

strange, someone named riceboy driving a firebird...

5.0: you have 300 hp with just a chip, h-pipe, and a cold air intake???? it sounds unlikely that you gain 60 hp with those three mods... but then again, what do I know? I drive a MPV.hahahahaha

its a rough estimate.

it's quite easy to get large gains on those huge engines... so i'm not surprised if it's like that at all.

THERE IS NO WAY IN YOUR LIFETIME THAT A FORD, NO NO EVEN BETTER A MUSTANG WILL OUTHANDLE A SUBARU.

IF YOU WANNA TRY YOUR STANG AGIANST MY WRX ON THE HWY AND CORNERS BE MY GUEST. JUST FOR YOU YOULL GET ALL THE BOOST IN THE APEX AND THEN ON THE STRAIGHTAWAY.

A FOD RUSTANG CAN NEVER TOUCH AND ALL WHELL DRIVE CAR IN THE CORNERS..NEVER.

Now I'm no mustang addict, in fact (sorry guys, just my opinion

) I don't like them that much. But a Cobra will give a WRX a run for it's money in th 1/4 (I've ridden in a friends WRX racing many many many mustangs) if you want to mod the 'stang and do it right they will pull on the WRX. Now as for handeling, I was arguing with SkylineUSA about this and he provided evidence that an LX could handle the slolom in times that would keep up with an R34 GTR, so I beleave it could keep up with the scoob

If driven right that is

YOU CAN PUT THE BEST DRIVER THERE IS INA RUSTANG, AND A FRESH NEWBIE WHO JUST GOT HIS LICENSE IN A SCOOBY, AND THE GUY DRIVING THE RUSTANG WILL LOOSE.

IN THE CORNERS A RUSTANG HAS NO CHANCE IN HISTORY TO COM CLOSE TO A SCOOBY.

IF YOU UP THE POWER ON A SCOOBY TO THE SAME AS A RUSTANG, THE RUSTANG WILL LOOSE IN THE QUARTER.

I could sit here and argue with you about this all day, so I'll just say this.

Prove it I'd like to see some test results.

Just for the sake of ease of comparison, lets take the 600ft Slalom results. Now if you are prepaired to tell me that your rex with no suspension work will take a Hennessy Venom 650R or even a F355 then... Well I donno what to say, besides BS!!

Super Spec V · #42 05-07-2002, 01:32 PM

THERE IS NO NEED TO PROVE OR ARGUE ABOUT ANYTHING. ANYONE WHO HAS DRIVEN HIGH PERFORMANCE CARS AND KNOWS WHAT TAKING CORNERS IS ALL ABOUT KNOWS THAT NO RUSTANG CAN KEEP UP WITH A SCOOBY IN THE CORNERS.

YOU WANT PROOF COME TO SHANNONVILLE RACEWAY WHEN WE RACE MOSPORT AND YOU WILL SEE PLENTY FORD MUSCLE HEADS THERE WITH THIER RUSTANGS VERY VERY VERY FAR AWAY BEHIND THE REST OF THE PACK. MY PROOF IS KNOWING CAUSE I GO THERE TO RACE. I HAVE WITH MY 99 2.5RS, MY 92 GOLF 2.0L 16V, AND WITH MY 91 BMW 3.25, AND ALL OF THE CARS THAT I DROVE THERE HAD NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER BLOWING PAST RUSTANGS.

SO MY LAST WORDS TO YOU ARE:

BRING ON YOUR MUSTANG TO THE CIRCUIT WITH WHATEVER KIND OF SUSPENSION YOU WANT (BRING YOUR FREINDS RUSTANGS TOO), AND I WILL BRING THE SCOOBY CREW WITH OUR CARS AND WE'LL SEE WHO IS THE LAST ONES TO THE FINISH LINE.

OH THAT IS IF YOU DONT WIPE OUT AFTER THE 2ND OR 3RD TURN TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH US.

Ok, first of all, you keep saying "RUSTANG" what mustang are you talking about? GT, Standard V6, LX, Cobra, Saleen...???

Second of all, I do know what taking corners is all about, it's about road holding and turn in. These things can be boiled down into numbers in the 600ft slalom (check my edited post above).

Fancy a hill climb?
Virginia Hill Climb:
1. Amir Rosenbaum, 3.25.371 F40
2. Guy Cunningham, 3.26.082 Mustang
3. Dennis Chiodo, 3.32.063 Viper ACR
4. Ori Rosenbaum, 3.32.348 Viper
5. David Wilson, 3.33.441 F355

Now incase you failed to understand this, I am not "dissing" the scoob, I like them! But the facts stand that these blind and unsubstantiated claims don't stand. If you want to show me some lap times of professional drivers in a WRX vs those of a professional driver in a Mustang (GT, LX, Cobra, whatever) then you are having an intelligent debate about somthing and if you end up showing me that I'm wrong so be it.

Oh, and just a tip, if you don't use all caps and refrain from making broad generalzations, it tends to lend creed to your arguement.

Super Spec V · #44 05-07-2002, 02:21 PM

I WILL DO MY BEST TO PROVIDE YOU WITH LAP TIMES AND SLALOM TIMES, HOWEVER I STILL BELEIVE AND COULD BET MY BALLS THAT A MUSTANG WILL NEVER BEAT A SCOOBY IN SLALOM OR CIRCUIT. NASCAR YES BUT ALL OTHERS NO.

BTW SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I NEED THEM ON FOR WORK PURPOSES. IM ALWAYS SWITCHING BETWEEN THE FORUM AND MY JOB, SO I JUST LEAVE THEM ON.

CAptynCrunch · #45 05-07-2002, 02:39 PM

I'm sorry, but your wrong. You put a professional driver in ANYTHING! I don't care if it's a tercel with bald tires, they will still beat a shitty driver in a WRX, or any other car for that matter.

Simply because as soon as they get to the first corner the shitty driver is just gonna spin out and go off the track.
