Mustang vs Cutlass
Hello, I was just wanting to get everyone's opinion on this one. Who would win in a drag race: a 2000 Mustang (v6 240hp 3.8L with dual exhaust) or a 1971 cutless supreme with a 350 engine (c8 5.7L with no ad-ons). The only reason why I have been told that the Mustang would win was because of the cutless's weight disadvantage. Thanks.

Cutlass Supreme in the end.........throw in a Mustang V8....and the outcome would be very different

I agree, much MUCH more torque in that 350, and more hp
heavy dosent matter if the power to weight is in the favor of the bigger car

I would have to go with the mustang. The cutlass is old, tired and heavy. I suppose top speed might go to the cutlass, but it would be my opinion the mustang would take it in the 1/4. By the way the 99-02 mustang v6 come with 190 hp. I doubt it got 50 hp from duel exhaust.

if it has a good dual exaust with good crossoverpipe (good torque, slightly less hp) Then maby...then again, the older 5.7's in those cars only makes what, 230hp? its got torque though, 320 or so which would kill you. But with the extra weight, its hard to say. Stage it up and find out.

I bet it does not even make 230 hp. I read some where that the 1981 corvette only make like 197 hp with the same engine.

thats true, that year the 5.7 was a dog, too much put into smog and saving gas by taking away power.
I'm thinking the mustang would win, but the 5.7 still has it beat alot on torque.

... you're comparing a 81 350 to a 71 350..
Cant compare the two. Why? In 71 they had no Smog restrictions. And a 350 in 71 made about 320 hp* (stock mind you). Back then they liked to waste gas. Cutlass Supreme... weighs only about 3600lbs give or take a few ounces new mustang is about 600lbs lighter. So with minus 600lbs but less power all over.... I say if the Cutlass has a Posi which lots of cars did come with back then... I'd put my money on the cutlass. And on the note of the Cutlass being old and tired. Who said the engine is tired? What if its a new engine? or at least fresh. It would still give the Mustang a run for its money. * = Depending on Engine performance packages.

whoa whoa whoa, wait a minute! don't knock the cutlass. this is a 1971 model were talking about here, before all of that emmissions crap, more than likely carbed too. if this guy has done anything at all to his cutlass, it should beat the stang. V6 stangs will only run a mid 15 at best. I'm not saying the cutlass is blindingly fast or anything, but it should run a mid 15 or better easily. oh.... and 240 hp in a V6 stang? I don't think so (unless its heavily modded)

just looked it up, there were two 350's offered for the cutlass in 1971. one put out 240 horse and one put out 260. by the way, its not the same 350 setup used by GM in the 80's for whoever said that.

your probably right, I gave it the benefit of the doubt considering it's V6 counterpart - the '98 & up V6 camaros can run mid 15's
