have you gone crazy?
NOOOO, those stangs are just as fast as they are today, they may have been quicker then!
im sorry but that goes under stupidest question ever, im sorry to say that and i never ever flame people for newbie questions or stupid questions
but that was just ridiculous IMO
Well it redlines 1500 rpm below ours, and the spedometer stops 30mph below ours, i know the sped. thing dosen't technically mean anything, but still. And after riding in the one I want to race, it really dosen't feel a whole hell of a lot faster than mine, if at all.

No BSing, but I have raced a late model in my Vic. It was funny cause we were on a route that has alot of big curvy turns. On take off I had em then he left me, on the turns I had him 2 car lengths straight way he had me 3-4 car lengths. Every time a turn came up I would eat the turn and leave him... lol stangs are fast but dont handle too good..... But there is no way you will beat a stang on a straight way, hope you have a couple bottles in your trunk...
I don't know bout the old one's but the new V6 mustangs aren't fast.............. raced one the other day going to Six Flags and he couldn't see me past 100 , we were pretty even at the take off though........
Yeah the one I want to race is a V6 convertible, and I really feel like I probablly can take it, but I thought I'd ask in case my ass was really going to get handed to me. Its like 2000 or newer I think.
tell him to drop his top down and you will go for it lol make him DRAG himself to death [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] but hey go for it just remember to be safe
This thread deserves to be locked. No matter how much people talk bad about Mustangs being crappy cars, that doesn't mean your 16 second Civic can beat it... because the Mustang is not a 16 second car, it's a 13 second car. Get over it... there is no Civic with just i/h/e that could take a Mustang.
But now that I think of it, there was someone who did race an auto Mustang in his Civic and got his ass handed to him.
I don't know about the newer models, but I used to have a 1988 four banger mustang, and that car was slow as sh%#. If I was going uphill my car would actually start to slow down, and there was nothing I could do. It went from 0-60 in two weeks.
Yeah, I know that our Civics aren't fast, but what the hell makes you think a Mustang is faster? Just calculate both of our weight/to power ratios, and THEN factor in the gear ratios on the Rustang.

Yeah the V6 Mustangs weigh close to 4000 lbs., which pretty much negates their hp advantage. If you have a pretty decent driver on a manual EX, you should be able to keep up with a V6.
No, they'll still beat a stock Civic. To reclairfy my post, that guy who raced a Mustang raced a V6 and lost by quite a distance. The 13-second ones are the V8s.
