also, the 3v makes more tq, yes, but only from 2200-3200rpm.
to give you an example, both cars are 5 speed, both cars are stock
05 Mustang GT VS 03 Mustang Mach1 http://www.dynoperformance.com/compa...ompare+Results
one thing that i don't get yet, everybody says the 05 gt hooks better than any other mustang. still, i'm seen a lot of them running low 14's.
i would use fontana dragway in my example, and i would ask gp001 directly about his times, cause i saw his car running at fontana when he was stock and now that he's modded. gp001, you were always racing a silver z28 ha  |

OK 300BHP/Ton, you busted my bollocks on the Escort Coswoth RS, I'm calling you on the Metro, you knobhead, lol.
1999 Mitsubishi 3000 320HP, 1/4mi 13.44 sec @ 101.79mph According to Car and Driver who tested the GT @ 13.8 sec @ 102 MPH.
When we say faster than the GT, what standard are we using? |

The Escort Cossie was a modified road car, a later development of the Seirra (they use the same chassis) and where only made for holomogation purposes for Group A rallying.
The Metro 6R4 was a Group B rally car (the next level up) I think 500 where made for road use, again for holomogation purposes.
The 6R4 has a 3.5 liter V6 which in its self is a development of the Rover V8 undertaken by TWR and Rover. In n/a trim it will be producing well over 430bhp (even more some times) in a car weighing about 2200lbs. With 4wd I'd say its more than capable of beating a stock 05 GT.
The engine later appeared with a couple of turbochargers in the Jaguar XJ220.
A direct competitor in Group B is my choice for today
Ford RS200 
After a very spectacular crash into the specatators this car helped seal the fate of the Group B rally supercars.

The new Stang is a serious bit of machinary. There's few normal cars that can compete.
I say keep it going, lets see how many we can think of. |

If we are talking 1/4 mile then the 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt.
(it will probably beat most of the cars listed as well)
This is an intresting thread. It seems that if you want to beat an 05 other then a few exceptions (F-body, 03/04 Cobra) you'll have to go out and drop
some serious cash. |

ok I hate to chime in here because I dont want to ruin the game because this will probably spark a debate, but the Sti and EvoVIII and the Supra are at best drivers races, I have beaten several on several different occassions, the closest being the last EVOVIII, had him the whole way but he was on my door the entire time, I was impressed at his driving because most of those putzs cant drive worth a damn. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
