The GTP obviously wasnt stock (even with the sc)



We were referring to a S/C GA :D

I did mention traction, read it again :p
My money would be on the cobra from a roll or a stop

...i still stand by what i said a supercharged + lightly modded grand am could `hang` with a cobra ... when you define hang as beat it and i define it at staying within 2-3 car lengths...

2-3 car lengths is hanging? thats getting your a$$ kicked!
Hanging is at least at the rear bumper

**** my ga stay 3 car lengths behind a camaro for peets sake, i dont think of that as hangin with it lol

My point is that it would be humiliatingly close. Kinda like seeing some old beat up Ford Maverick hanging with Z06 or something.

^ exactly

Neither was the Cobra or the LT1 Camaro. None of the cars were using nitrous oxide.

those mavericks were fast lol

sure, there was no wind resistance from that nasty perforated sheet metal...but the 302 Mavericks could get out of their own way

I am not trying to take sides, but why so much hatred towards Mustangs? I like them. That will be the only Ford car I would buy. ****ing off about people buying a V6 Mustang is not much different than bashing people for buying a Grand Am SE, when SE is not much cheaper than GT(especially if you want SE with V6). People like sporty cars, but not many people can afford insurance on V8 models that are gas guzzlers.

Oh and do you all know why GM decided to kill Firebirds and Camaros?

dude this thread was stopped, dont start it back up again

bottom line.... i paid about the same as a new mustang GT driver would, yet my car will own that same GT over and over again. end of story

Bottom line i paid 1/4 of what you paid for my bike and i would smoke you worse than you would beat a mustang
do i care? NO

this thread was comparing a ga to a mustang, not a mustang to a camaro

again this thread was ended, end of story

first off, how is there any comparison between a mustang and a GA? there isn't really, two totally different cars with totally different markets. Oh and go ahead and beat me with your bike... see what happens when you wreck on a bike vs a car

first of all this thread was about a v6 mustang vs a GA, then somehow it got twisted, You are comparing a 350V8 to a 281V8, i would hope you would win

and second of all ive already been down on a bike so i know how it feels, plus that has nothing to do with getting smoked

Just end it already lol

k, over

Couples things:
From what I heard, a nice built supercharged Grand Am GT that I met at this meeting in Sterling Heights dynod 227 or so. Mustang V6s can get that with bolt ons alone, every single bolt on to do it, but just saying. Second, from what I have heard- GAGT > GPGT and a Mustang v6 is = GAGT so that would make a Mustang v6 > GPGT. I am thinking in terms of 1/4 stock times.
Second- to make this fair, MSZ (Mike) had a 97 v6 and then WON a Mustang GT automatic for FREE at an auto show. Only payed a thousand or so for tax, so he can't BLING like he has that kind of cash to buy and maintain a V8. Once again he won it. Sorry Mike.
Now if any of this makes a difference or not, I'll see you guys on the street because I'm tired of this thread, happens a lot.

v6 Mustang = 15.3 1/4 mile for reference, that's on a manual like I have. Automatics are high 15s or low 16s, Ford Automatics suck huge balls. Mike's automatic v8 runs high 14's so if anyone wants to try him out, go for it.

Your avitar says it all. :thumbs:

Dyno 's are nice... previous gen GTP's are 240 crank HP and Mustang GT's are 260... yet GTP's with automatics and FWD can hang with Mustang GT's. So you see you will never win a race with numbers.

V6 Mustang on a GOOD PERFECT DAY with a PERFECT DRIVER MIGHT run a 15.3... what I have seen on average from owners is 15.5-15.9 with the 5-speed. Automatics are in the 16's unless modded. Quit trying to milk up the times.

There was/is a guy on here that ran a 15.2 stock with a Grand Am GT... so now all Grand Am GT's run 15.2 stock? NO... don't try and BS....

i like mustangs too!...not the mustang 2 but mustangs also rather. :cheers:
