I'm going with the GT-R on this one. A 70 Boss 302 would be nice but I saw a special on the Discovery Channel on the making of the GT-R.
A whole lot of work went into the thing and the engine is awesome. For the finale test of this car they put it up against a 99 Cobra which was a world champion track car or something like that. After a few laps the GT-R had a good 10-15 seconds ahead of the 99.

Re: Old School vs. New School: Mustang Race Car Battle
the boss is damn nice and all but... the gt-r seems like too much of a beast to handle.. wonder which car has higher gas mileage?

Re: Old School vs. New School: Mustang Race Car Battle
You'd be surprised...it doesnt have to be brand new to be fast...
Look at the Shelby Cobra 427...not the biggest engine in the world...but that car can do low 11's in the quarter and can handle VERY WELL...so...dont give the Boss 302 the RIP just yet...

Re: Old School vs. New School: Mustang Race Car Battle
I'm not discounting it at all, but I just don't see how two balls-to-the-wall Mustangs with thirty-five years of engineering seperating them can really compete.
