03 stang vs 89 rs

[y2icon]

ok i know how much everyone hates stupid ?'s like this but bare with me

How would a 89 rs do vs a 03 stang

both stock v8's

only thing mustang has as a ricer like coffee can on the back

I hate to run my mouth when i cant back it up. So i wanted everyones opinions b4 i go and run my mouth and dig myself into a grave.

I figured the stang might have a little more hp but might weigh a little more. Not saying that i am right just thats what i think.

At least its not as crazy as wanting to beat a Saleen. Its would also be one of those "I am better then you" races.

Its one of my really good female friends(jessica) bfs mustang.Since she started going out with him we hardly ever talk or see each other and I miss that.Its not that i want her as a gf its more that I miss her company and blonde-like ditziness. Shes more a ta/camaro girl then a pony girl. So i want to get the rs running and race his little stang and show him my car is better then your car. Shit if its gets her to start hanging out with me again thats a plus too. Until the rs is running though i can just bang my head against the century as i go an asphalt burning 35 mphs everywhere

The 03 GT will beat you if both cars are driven to their max potential.

By the way just admit you love the bitch and stop hding ya real feelings!

stang will eat the rs for lunch

[camaroguy92rs]

stang will kill you coffee can or not. technology now vs technology then, no competition.

I'll loan you my car man......another mustang under its belt won't hurt it....

lol gtstang i dont love her that way. i love my gf. her and jessica are friends too.(b4 i met either of them).

ok now that everyone thinks ill lose what will i need to compete.

[89IROC&RS]

well, geno appears to be asleep......

put a blower on it

just for reference, your RS if stock has a TBI 305 with 170hp. your car weighs in the neighborhood of 3500lbs. i know they feel alot faster than they are, and they eat imports, but your talking about another V8 ponycar, with conciderably more power, and better control over it. Id say to compete with it, youll need a set of lower gears, fullly preped tranny, perhaps the way mine is setup, and a blower or nitrous kit if you dont want to build the engine. as far as what to do to hop up the 305, send 92RS a pm, he is the 305 guru, and knows far better than just about anyone else on here what to do to make them competitive.

one thing i dont want for sure is nos.

maybe ill just say this is still over my head

[89IROC&RS]

A real Camaro owner would have had the thressome in action by now!

As for competeing wit the Stang your gonna have to start getting serious either in super-cost effective mods such as major stripping and huge gearing or serious HP increase as far as an engine rebuild, or power adder.

[y2icon]

lol believe me i've tried.

well theres still hope maybe by late spring early summer i will be able to compete with the stang

[SMOKEY818]

dude all the money your going to drop in that lo3 is better off spent on a new engine, it's not worth keeping the 305 if you want some serious hp, you could mod the lo3 to compete but them your going to run out of mods to do

[y2icon]

its gonna get a new engine shit almost new everything. i wasjust wondering my chances currently which are none. I just needed to swallow my pride this time

[drvngstorm05]

get an lt1 dude, u can find an engine tranny combo for somewhere between 1000-2000 w/ decently low miles on it... then u will eat him for lunch, wait no, you'll turn his ass into a buffet line. plus u will have the pride of actually working on ur car, and not just putting a can on it...

My 305 couldn't eat anything when I got it. But then again it had like 145 K on it. I put a crate 350 in it with about an extra 4K into it and now I don't really have a problem with any car. not even the wrx =D . The 305 is just like some say a boat anchor . Get a 350 or even a 327 . then you'll be able to pull some serious ponies. The 305 is just a oversized version of the 2.8 XD , 350 with some heads , headers , cam , valve job , polish and blueprint it , msd ignition setup , msd distributor , weiand wide open intake , demon card ..tons of stuff you could do to eat a stang by spring if you do an engine swap.
