mustang shmustang
just curious if anybody on this site has ran against a v6 mustang with no mods. Im curious who would win? I'll run one if i ever run into one but for time being im sure some of you peeps have so do tell the results. hopefully its not too embarassing.

I have raced my friend's 2000 V6 Stang. His car is an automatic. It's a close race, but when I get a good launch I can beat him.

Rep Power: 338 V6 Stangs are alright compared to our cars. Although to me, torque is slow to react, and transmission (5 speed) isnt that great to shift, it should still be able to win, 5 speed vs 5 speed.

Rep Power: 413 CuRiOuSfIsH, you must be joking. A 5 speed stang will blow our cars out of the water. THe only reason that I can sometimes beat my friend is because automatic stangs has slushy trannies and I'm a 5 speed.
Auto Stang vs. Auto Civic = Stang winner
Auto Stang vs. Manual Civic = Either way, depends on conditions but it will be close
Manual Stang vs. Auto Civic = Civic doesn't stand a chance
Manual Stang vs. Manual Civic = Unless the stang mishifts, the civic will lose.

Rep Power: 0 v6 mustags are not fast and even a 5 speed would get beat by a civic ex i have bolth quarter ile times a v6 stang with intake and exaust runs a 16.7 and a stock civic ex runs a 16.5 so its reall close but i guess its all about driver at that close of times . my civic lx with pulleys intake and exaust will beat a v6 stang auto or 5 speed they have crappy gears or something with either tranny they dont have that great of horepowr to the wheels

Rep Power: 0 my girl gotta 2001 v6 stang convertible auto... that thing is not slow, when i floor it the whole car jumps forward and accelerates pretty quickly. When i downshift in my 5spd civic, all i hear is my engine, and nearly dont feel as much acceleration as the mustang.

I've raced a girl in a 2002 v6 stick, and I smoked her. Maybe she missed a gear but I really don't think so. It was a close race. I only won by a car. By the way, I got a stock EX (only 17 inch exels)

Rep Power: 401 my dad once rented a auto V6 stang and he let me drive around for a day when he wasnt using it, i was HIGHLY dissapointed with it. i thought "even with a mustang it should still be fast for an auto", BAHAHAHAHA!! was i wrong, IMO it was crappy. i believe auto stang (stock) vs. auto civic with just a simple 35 shot would kick its ***. i'd take a 5-speed civic over auto stang anyday.

Rep Power: 563 Manual Civic Si (Canadian) vs. Manual V6 Stang is very close...So close in fact that it's all about the driver and that's why I whoop them. The V6 doesn't backbuild enough power before the redline hence they **** early. Then the civic shifts but by that point the VTECH is making up the difference....At least that's how I saw and felt it each time. I've run two on the streets and won, not by much, but I won just the same.

Rep Power: 0 i do not think the little jerk you feel is from the torque, instead, it's from having a rear wheel drive car
my friend's jetta can beat my other friend's 240, but the 240 jerks harder, and i think a volkswagon have more torque, available earlier than a 240...
that's just my not so educated guess. because it seems that none of the ff cars i've been in jerks really, compare to the fr

Rep Power: 0 fastest ive seen a modded gts run was 15.3-15.5...my friend is not stock...but then again...thats what manuel stangs run stock, low to mid 15s...very similar to GTS's..it all depends on the driver...with manuels or autos...ive seen peeps who have autos get beat down by other autos that are supposed to be slower...ive seen a Celica GT get beat by a civic DX both auto's....both with I/E

Rep Power: 0 go on www.newcelica.org... there are some celicas in the 14s STOCK.
v6 stang manuals are not low to mid 15 second cars stock.. more like low 16s.

....but i do know what you mean. i raced a stick v6 stang and beat him because he shifted wayy too soon, while my car (auto) just kept goin in the same gear and he didnt catch up until we got to the next light (where i had to turn)
