V6 Maro Vs Mustang

ViperJ · #1 05-06-2005, 12:39 AM

Well this is going to be a little diffrent than the Mustang Drivers Are Wussies thread. And let me say I did race BUT it wasn't in a city or town, it was on a rural road that might get 5 cars on it a day, no nearby houses.

Today I was driving and ran across a red early 1990's mustang. I dont know the trim but it did have the 4.6L badge, (I thought they only came in 2.3L or 5.0's). Anyway I got stopped next to a red light next to him and on green we both went. I did an absolutly horrible launch spinning through 1st, he got probably 2 cars by 35mph and as we approched 60mph I SLOWLY started to gain. A car was in his lane so we both slowed down down to the speedlimit. Well I wanted to go again so he agreed, so we got stoped at another redlight. Well this was a launch for the record boooks. I dropped the clutch a 2800rpms, proxes 4 chirped slightly (proxes 4's are so sticky, incredible grip) and by the time I shifted into second I pulled a car on him. By 80mph I had 5-6 cars and shut it down. Well after that I pulled into the nearby gas station to talk to the other driver. He gets out of his car and say's "well I guess I didn't get killed to bad by a Z28". I chuckled and said "no I guess you didn't get killed to bad by a V6 Camaro". The look I got made my day, his good old mustang wen't down to a V6 Camaro. We exchanged numbers because his friends wanted a shot at the 6, well see how that goes.

Cliffnotes- 1st race lost to a Stang, 2nd race won by 5-6 car lenghts

Was it a Fox body (1990-1993) or was it the newer style (1994-1998)? If it was a Fox body then you were right in it either coming with a 2.3 I4 or a 5.0 V8.

If it was a newer style though it came with either a 3.8 V6, a 5.0 V8 in '94 and '95, or a 4.6 V8 from '96 and up.

I highly doubt that somebody put a 4.6 in an older Mustang but you never know. Anyway, my money is that it was a V6 or I4 with 4.6 and GT badges all over it. If it was a 4.6 though, power to ya.

I did a little bit of searching and it was the fox body style, that is just judging by random internet pictures.

Actually it's what mod do I have, the only performance mod I have right now is high flow cat. The end of May I should have my SLP intake and lightened pullies.

Update- I found out more specs on the car, it does have 4.6 bages but it is a 5.0, the owner said he bought it like that and has never changed them. Its a 92 Mustang LX, auto and convertable, oh well my 6 beat a V8

You know, it really is amazing, its like a kick in the face to Ford and all Mustang lovers because somehow Chevy still owns EM!

Wow, it's been known that many stock 3.8s beat stock 5.0's and I've even heard of 3.8's beating pre-98 GTs, but you gone dunnit with the 3.4... nice kill

Well Im not a fan of the 4.6 however if you truly walked one in a V6, one of two things happend. One it really was not a 4.6 more than likely a v6 with a 4.6 badging in which case I could beat with my wifes malibu.
Or two if it really was a 4.6 you were up against a driver had no clue what he was doing and had no business behind the wheel of anything short of a bigwheel.

V6's suck period. Doesn't matter if its a Camaro or mustang. There not even worth my time racing, so don't flatter yourself to much because you beat one. There plenty of mini van moms that do it all day long.
