DBMSTNG said:why are people so jealous of progress? (if the 05 is actually faster) if the 06 3.5L V6 Mustang runs faster than my 99 GT, i'm not going to get all pissed off. i'd be glad. progress is a GOOD thing. people are comparing the 05 to the Mach 1 because the Mach 1 is probably the best N/A Mustang ever. they aren't trying to insult the Mach 1, if anything, it's a compliment.
wma8706 said:The race with the Mach sounds pretty believable, if both cars are stock. But, the race with the '01 Cobra (which has full exhaust and gears).... we don't have full detail concerning the race with the Cobra, but i would expect the new GT to lose that race.
Both cars weigh close to the same thing, with the new GT weighing more if anything. The '01 Cobra should have around or over 300 rwhp with that full exhaust. And, the Cobra has 4.10 gears compared to the GT's 3.55 gears. Plus, the Cobra's 4 valve motor should have at least as good, if not better, power on the top end.

351CJ said:To help fan the flames, I was told by a Ford engineer that the 4.6L - 3V horsepower was limited by the computer, NOT the mechanicals. That would imply that what you said is accurate. "Steeda has been able to pull the crank horsepower up on an 05 GT to 350" Especially since it appears that the stock engines really makes 320 HP or so.
I was also told that Ford had a goal of getting a version of the 4.6L 3V to make 400 HP, normally aspirated, but they could not make the 400 HP # out of 4.6L and make it emissions legal and meet all durability requirements. He would not tell me how much HP they were able to get out of it, but I got the impression that it was well over 350 HP.
better yet, BANISH him to War Stories!Omegalock said:Then you must be a freaking member of Mensa.
Say goodbye you'll soon be banned and for what when you think about it?
A guy comes on and posts something you don't believe him fine. Call him on it and leave it at that. Then he gets his story backed up by somebody else then you freakin flip your lid for no reason? Seriously man you need to either grow up or seek help you are the type of basketcase that would try to run somebody off the road because they didn't pass you on the left.
Bye bye

GNN60GT500 said:I can not give information on the car, except it was a stock 5 speed.....
rolling start....
it was close to about 60 MPH, and then the 05 GT pulled away....by 120MPH it had about 1 1/2 cars on the MACH
the 05 was also put up against a 01 Cobra with full exhaust and 4.11s...results were about the same.....
Rolling starts were done so driver would not be a factor....
I was not present for the race, but got information from a really good source, which I also can not give out.
I think we have a winner.......
95cobra#161 said:hi everybody i'm a newbe. just going thru the threads here and have to say "i'm pretty disaponted in the way some are acting" i own a 95 Cobra and i'm not mad that the newer 99 up gt's have more power than me hell i'm glad to see Ford finaly giving us people that don't have "3 new cars and make more money than every body on here" a chance to have what we all like and whant that is more and more power and a better handling Mustang as the years go on for a reasonable price. I THINK WE SHOULD BE GREATFULL!!
Jpjr said:An 05 mustang with 300hp would never beat a Mach with 330hp. Even adding a CB, you would never gain 30hp with that size motor. The Mach is a much more aerodynamic car, and head to head would always win if driving weren't a factor.
