99+ mustang gt vs dodge neon srt 4

[FERNDID]

I here many people say there srt4 smoked a new mustang gt, but I've raced a srt4 and it did keep up with me but in the end I still won buy half a car lenth, I was not empressed with the way my mustang performed ahainst a 4 banger even tough I won!!!!!!!!!!

[FERNDID]

anybody have a different opinion

[FordJunky]

an srt isnt just a 4 banger, its a turbod 4 banger so dont feel bad... from what iver heard with good drivers the stang wins... personally i think the mustang is a much better cra and has WAY more potential (obviously)

[FERNDID]

I get tired of these turbo charged 4 bangers thinking they can smoke every car out there, they should comper themselves to other turbo or supercharged cars, such as a supercharged mustang!

Well, if you believe that, Why don't you compare yourself with something that has the same amount of cyl's as you? Such as the Trans Am or The CamaroZ28. Damn buddy you've got 8 cyl's and we've got 4, gotta have something to make up the difference right. And even still, a turbo isn't really equal to 4 extra cyl's but I manage to take GT's everytime.

You race who you race...if you got a turbo 4 and you smoke a V8 then good for you...no excuses or whining from either party about na...so if the srt-4 beat a mustang just smile and get him back some other time...give fast cars respect, no matter how many cylinders it has

Also, If you consider bang for your buck, The srt4 owns the stang. Already a drivers race stock for stock. Then take into account prices for both cars. 20,000 will get you a brand new Srt4 when GT's cost about 24,000. Then think about taking about 2,000 in mod money and putting it into both cars. The SRT will come out seconds ahead of the Stang. Also, the SRT4 has four doors, useable back seats, and better gas milage, which would make it the more resonable car. Now I know that the V8 has more potential if you wanna shell out like 20,000-30,000 in mod money but I don't think we all have that lying around to use on our cars. So if you got a normal job, friends/family that you do take around, like the fuel economy of a four banger, and love having the power to equal or beat V8's. Then the srt is the way to go.

I'v race camaro's all the time and I'm tired of the comparison, look for the price the srt-4 is a good deal I don't diss it one bit hell I was startled when I raced it a it was on my ass!! the srt 4 will and can beat any 98 and below cobra and gt hands down, I wish ford would open it's eyes and realize they need to put cars with more horse power, except the 03 cobra they finally got smart, I love mustang's and I got my 1/4 mile time down to a 13.89 and this is with bassini x-pipe, flowmaster two chamber exhaust, and 3.73 gears, i'm broke just like mason rsx.

[FERNDID]

I agree for the money i spent on mods if i had a srt-4 i would probably run a mid 13

...... Sorry man, I just needed to vent. I just hate when V6's and V8's race me, and I win and they give the whole "Well your turboed! Let me get turbo and we'll see" BS excuse. I mean because I guess they forget that they have more cylinders and more displacement than I do, so comparing my turbo I4 is not even comparable to a turbo/super V6/V8. And when you said turbo 4's should compare themselves to supercharged mustangs, I just flipped. But explain me your reasoning why you think that turbo 4's should compare to turbo/super V8's?

Who cares how or why a car is fast? If it's fast then it's fast, period. That's all that matters.

hahahahahahaha!! If i put the money university tuition money into my car, my car would be sooooo fast!

And kman said basically what I have been trying to say...it doesn't matter what you have...if its fast, its fast

[FordJunky]

ya, it doesnt matter how many cylinders or whether its na or not... all that matters is how fast it is... but there is a difference between a 4 cyl and a turbo 4 cyl... and thats not saying that a turbo 4 banger isnt equal to a v8 but there is a difference and its ignorant to ignore the fact that it is turbod... that being said the new mustang is CONSIDERABLY faster and has been dynod at 280 at the wheels (thats about 325 at the crank) the old mustang was 260 at the crank... so ya, so much for mustangs being underpowered...

Got a dyno sheet for that? Considering the quarter mile times that it's running, I don't doubt it, but I'd just like to see if it's true.
