Depending on what kind of mustang. A 6 cylinder convertible is not a fast car at all, it is quite heavy, and an auto, even slower. 99- on 6 cyls have a 190 hp 3.8 liter engine. I believe you can kick a v6 convertible´s ***.

A GT mustang on the other hand... 260 hp 4.6 liter, even a convertible is quite fast. There´s no way a civic could beat a GT mustang unless its driven by and old lady or you are driving with your girlfriend and she starts yelling at you to slow down.

it is obvious weight and gear ratio don't do a damn thing in the case of this guy going against the gt because our civic wouldn't stand a chance plain and simple. in a lot of other cases though, weight and gear ratio are very important in racing. "go back to school" hmmmmm...
edit: oh for the love of God, okay it's fine you call me delusional[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] i could care less. just stop being vague and tell me how i'm so wrong--> you (nytejade) and/or likeweeeeeeee

By the way, go back to school and learn how to spell.

Your remarks are so absurd it would almost be equally absurd to entertain your delusions.

If someone says, "Dude, the sky is green, trust me..." I'm not going to bother arguing with them.

you could shift as perfect as possible and the gt could shift as slow as possible and miss 3rd gear and it would still beat you

first off...its not all about the HP......the gearing of any Mustang is better than any Civic....especially the new Mustangs....they all have larger gears to perform better in 0-60 times...and as for a GT auto being slow...mid 14s with an auto...not to bad....my friend with a V6 Mustang took out 7thgen civics that were manuel by like 4+ car lengths....and no it wasnt cause of the bad driver....it was just reality peeps...and if any of u are in southern cali im sure my friend wouldnt mind racing his V6 Auto against some of u 7thgencivics

I believe you man... I posted about the same thing a few months back but people started putting up B/S Flags and disrespecting left and right. I had the same scenario as you. We launched and I took him from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd I got caught up in traffic but he was about to blow me away anyway. My point is that we did take the GT in 1st and 2nd, [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] for us!!! Good job man..

I really wish i lived in Cali. because I have taken out numerous V6 auto's. Never once has one beat me. and many people on the board have had similar experiences. My civic is more or less stock. I know you really can't trust magazine or web times. but the 1/4 time for a stock, auto v6 is high 16s or even low 17s. haha, now i'm gonna get the assclown award.

i hope your car is faster than a 99 or 00 Civic SI...cause he has beaten them...thats the best thing i could compare his car too since it was a close race and it was when he only had 2 mods...not bad for an auto vs. manuel...but i guess the guy in the SI didnt know how to drive...right
