Rep Power: 306

One fine sunny afternoon I'm headed to work over at the local JC Penney (back like 7-8 months ago). Here I am just crusin along after going through a stoplight. Along comes this ****y *** mustang gt driver. He pulls right along side of me says (or screams), "Better eat your wheaties!..." SCREACH! Off he goes, leavin me and my lil 1.7 fo-banga in shame. I guess i intimidated him with my neato lil APC trashcan sized muffler LOL. I thought I'd share that with you. Any Vic drivers in Louisiana gimme a holla a XSRCivic@msn.com.

I don't see why every one talks junck about american cars and how their always in the shop getting fixed and stuff. Hondas break down to...At least mine did alot. Im not trying to start **** but just lay off american cars.

 
Rep Power: 339

actually if the car is well maintained, it wont need to be in the shop to be fixed
as for imports vs dometics... i think its unfair to enforce strict emission standards on imports, yet domestics are gas guzzling smog machines.... GIVE US THE SKYLINE!!!!!

So TRUE

**** the domestics.......get a little N2o and give the domestics what they deserve.......a nice butt whooping

Why? The truth is american cars suck ***. 4.6 L and all they could squeeze out of it was 260 hp. Honda got 240 out of a 2.0 (No turbo, no supercharger, no juice) and could smoke the 'stang like it was parked.
So, yeah...

Mustangs are ****. I've had 2 of them. After the last one I swore I'd never buy another Ford and I never did.

I never owned another "pony" car until 94 when I got the Firebird Formula. The Firebird has the LT1 with automatic, is pushing 100,000 miles and has never had to go back to the shop. It mostly sits in the garage now, except on some nice sunny days and an occasional Saturday night. That's when I let the newer model Mustangs look for me. To me there's no compaison of Ford to GM. I got my first GM car in 86 and have stayed with them, except for the CRV and the Civic.

Ok first off. The reason why the GT "only" has 260 or more, would be for insurance and a lack of caring for their customers on Ford's part. They are sitting pretty right no with Camaro and Firebird dead, there is no more competition for the Mustang. All they have to do is keep making red automatic convertible V6 mustangs and they'll make just enough of a dollar to keep making the somewhat shady cobra. And as for the S2k, yes its a great car. 240 out of a 4 banger, but how much torque again, regardless of what it can beat, it has low torque. But waht can you expect from a 4cyl. I personally love the car, would take one in a second, but the torque would be the first thing i would fix, with a turbo or anything i could get my hands on.

How about 300lbs of torque. A 4.6 has all the potential in the world. Not to mention the DOHC 4.6 Cobra. And the sk2 cant smoke a mustang, its a drivers race (Period)

 
Rep Power: 400

Regardless of what torque it has, look at what it can beat. And you'd be hard pressed to find an N/A 4 cylinder that makes 76.5lb/ft of torque per liter, as the S2k does.

No it's not. It's somewhat a driver's race, but the S2k has the advantage. The S2k pulls above 50mph and pulls HARD after 4th gear. You may not want to believe or admit that, but it's true.

 
Rep Power: 0

Extremely hard pressed, and basically impossible. Just saying i love the car, cept for its one flaw. 153 foot pounds of torque. However, when modded

Also, top end, the car would be a damn dream to play around in

 
Rep Power: 400

yes, for a true sports car it does lack torque. but it makes up for that in 70mph 90 degree turns.

Do you know what the slalom and skid pad numbers are. I havent read about the S2k in a while

 
Rep Power: 400

lol... i actually don't remember. but I know it's one of the better g's on the skidpad than most production cars. and modification can take it even further. in fact, for a suspension modified production car, I believe the S2000 holds the record... the Spoon S2k at 1.19g's.

the link doesn't work... i believe because it comes from a flash/java window. and no offense, but i'd trust numbers on a car review from C&D about as far as I'd trust osama bin laden with a nuclear warhead.

The link may be ok. The whole site is down right now. Try later.

But the guy did ask, so what are the numbers?

Who would you trust?

 
Rep Power: 400

road and track isn't bad. though i should say i dont trust C and D's 1/4 mile numbers. they are infamous for getting times my grandma could beat. but i would think they are fairly on with skidpad and such, so i'd like to see the numbers. but road and track, and motor trend are usually getting the best times out of the cars.

Link's ok. It works fine now.

ok ok ya american cars do suck but they are kinda quick my dad ownes a 01 cobra svt which will detroy my civic but my buddy has a 95 supra 6 speed and thsat will smoke the mustang so i guess you really have to run sports cars against sports cars not sports cars against sport compact eg/civic vs cobra

 
Rep Power: 0

im betting the svt hasnt been modded since it was rolled off the showroom floor, while that supra is modded out big time. a stock tt supra has no chance against a stock svt cobra.
