some of you are saying that you walked "GTs" from a roll with basic bolt ons. i'm sorry, but unless you're squeezing, fully built motor, blown, or turbo, you ain't gonna even hang with me. i've been hit by plenty of ludes, and i have yet to meet one that can even hang with me.

 

well, i have seen many ludes beat GT's, but not your specific year. i have seen like the 97-99 (i think) get beaten, but not the newer ones. damn mustangs got mad torque. so your'e making this thread becuase you think your'e better than us or what?

 

no, not saying i'm better, just calling BS on many posts. btw, i bet those that lost were gt badged v6's there's a lot of those out there.

in other words, you are going to come on these boards and post about stuff that you have no idea about. im sure there are thousands of preludes out there that have beaten many mustangs, and im sure there are thousands of mustangs out there that have beaten many preludes. have you checked some of the mustang sites? you need to go call all your groupie boys and call BS on them before you even step in this forum. ignorance is not needed here.

also, the speed is only one factor of a car. we have a choice, a person can either be just like everyone else and go buy a mustang and be just like every other teenager out there and get mommy and daddy to buy it for them. or....some ppl can be unique and buy cars that arent so populated in every damn city and fix them up to compete with them. i would rather have a car such as the prelude that looks MUCH better than any mustang i have ever seen. of course, thats my opinion and ppl like you are the ones who bash others for having opinions of their own if they conflict with yours.

well, at least you helped my boredom out a little today.

 

BTW, i dont see many mustangs beating preludes in an autox. even though you think that those gt's were badged v6's, there are still thousands of the real gt's that our prelude have beaten. dont come around our boards saying that a prelude beating a mustagn is BS because we DO beat a lot of mustangs.

 

i'm not talking about looks or whatever. this post is for the foolios that say i beat a mustang gt/cobra, and all i did was put my k&N on, or **** like that. i'm not flaming preludes.

 

You are aware, I'm sure, that a LOT of the older GTs are slow as ***, right?

I know magazine racing is retarded, but it's the only way to do it. They're professional drivers, and they're unbiased. So, these are all from Car and Driver:

1995 Mustang GT (manual): 0-60 in 6.5 1/4 mile in 15.2

1997 Mustang GT (manual): 0-60 in 6.6 1/4 mile in 15.1

1999 Mustang GT (manual): 0-60 in 5.5 1/4 mile in 14.2

So...there ya go. 15s...wow! Tack a half second on for the [tons of] automatics. Another half second on top of that for all the convertibles. Point? From the factory, Mustangs were the same speed as a lude until 1999 which, I'm sorry to say, is kind of pathetic with a car that uses a 4.6 V8 vs a 2.2 I4.

Edit: I'm sorry but...what the ****, are you stupid? 'You'd need a fully built motor or FI'?? To run 15s? Maybe you fell asleep and dreamed you drive Camaro buddy.

I agree with you. There are a lot of people out there who think their Ludes are fast. They are fun cars but I don't think they are faster than Musatngs. I see a lot of guys with Lude Si even saying that they are faster than Mustangs. I don't buy it.

A lot of my BMW friends think their cars are so fast too. When I got mine I thought I was going to be able to BLOW AWAY cars like The Accord V6 and the TL. Guess what, I was humbled when I barely pulled away from them. I was expecting to pull away VERY noticeably. That did not...and will not happen.

At the same rate...I hear a lot of people thinking their Prelude VTECs can keep up with M3s (older E36s) and new E46 330s. That is not true. I have friends with both who legitimately raced. Stock M3s and 330s are faster.

I think the best way to find out is to lineup at the track and stop thinking that your car is so much faster than other cars just because you THINK you raced someone on the streets. Not eveyone is in the right gear...or even runs their car hard when they get revved on.

Let's not kid ourselves guys. Don't try to make it a weeenie measuring contest and to justify your purchase. Just be happy with what you have and live your life. PNLY post races that were legitimately setup. Street races don't count in my opinion.

 

Ok and who said that???? Look it dont matter who has more hp but if you cant drive than youre not gonna win...to a point....simple as that...the driver makes the car because without one its just a heap of metal or whatever theyre made out of now a days

Dont bring your BS on here about this...let our people say what they want...we can probally tell if theyre full of it....

 

A kid I know has an older 5-speed Cobra Convertible with headers and a borla exhaust that runs mid 14s. Learn your ****, genius. Read the factory times I posted up there. You don't know a damn thing about cars pal.

 

1995 Mustang GT (manual): 0-60 in 6.5 1/4 mile in 15.2

1997 Mustang GT (manual): 0-60 in 6.6 1/4 mile in 15.1

1999 Mustang GT (manual): 0-60 in 5.5 1/4 mile in 14.2



<U>This post is retarded. There is no argument.</U>

 

I have personally beat a gt mustang around your year one of the new ones....who cares about mustangs anyway. And a cobra couldnt pull past me...So relax kid. Mustang are **** on the highway once you get going fast enough, have fun going from stop light to stop light though(only thing mustangs are good for) Nice to see mustang owners on our site though, you all want to own imports dont lie.....AH HA HA HA HA H AH AHA we'll see your car in the junk yard in about 90k buh bye buh bye

EDIT: sorry for being an ***.....just fought with ex. For real though, there are some fast *** stangs(my friend had one with built engine and faster gears, he was sick off the line but wasnt good on the highway) and there are good drivers and bad....like everyone else said. which one are you? do you have time slips to prove anything? track experience? anything?!?!? you just race the local rice boys with their civics and fake intercoolers around town at night?

Actually, a well driven 94-97 5spd coupe with the factory 3.08 gears was more then capable of turning high 14's when stock. Something you can't say for the lude. I know because i managed a 14.84 with a stock 94 GT 5spd.

Vtec ludes were fairly close to the GT's of their years. But not every Lude was a Vtec (remeber the 135 and 160hp version of the 4th gen???) nor was every v8 Mustang a GT, there were cobra's as well which were closer the the vtec ludes price.

Overall, the ludes are nice cars. I considered one before settling with a 95 5.0 GT.

 

2002 GT:

Depends on the Mustang.

Being a mustang owner you have to admit that The GTs in the mid 90's sucked compared to what you have now, they weren't very fast, and most people can't launch them anyway..

But the 2002, that's a different story. For fun when my car was stock I raced a 2002 and it was over by about halfway through 2nd...and I'm a good driver (14.8). Needless to say I knew I was gonna get killed.

Don't come on this board and make blanket statements like that, it just makes you look like an ***.

. An E-Ricer i see.

 

The 4G VTECs click off 14.8s stock man. Granted I was running 15.2s at Rock Falls, but ****, it's Rock Falls.

 

Although i haven't seen one go that fast, I could believe a good driver pulling one off. Which leads to the conclusion that you can't always go by what you read in the mags.

 

hell yeah, my vynil graphic add like 60-70 hp yo!!!! i got these bling bling 50lb 22inch chrome wheels that lighten my car like 400lbs!!! and i got an aftermarket shift **** for mad quick shifts yo, you should see it......i should be in magazines.

look at my edit i said i was in a bad mood and that wasnt right for me to say......sorry to all you mustang ownders out there, come at me like that again and ill throw you a beatin. if you want to race ill race you with my v8 american muscle too dick..... dont think us import owners cant appreciate and own american cars too.....

 

Exactly. Besides there is no real reason to argue. 14s are slow no matter what car you are in. Are you going to the Import/Domestic Battle this year?

 

You make a dick comment, and somehow i'm the dick? yeahhh. If i'm the dick, that must make you the *****...Open wide...

 

haha,

 

dude, you got me.......that was so harsh......i think i might cry.
i am humbled by your wisecracks and obviously faster 94 mustang, thank you for showing me the light.....me and my POS(by the way)lude97 are gonna walk away. im not in a good mood, just fought with the ex(you do know aout that right, you have had gf's right? i hope so, you must pull mad *** in a 94 mustang) anyway, i said i was in a bad mood and if you cant understand that fine, but i was serious, you come at me like that again ill give you my address and you can come here and ill throw you a beating........
i have friends with mustangs and they are fast(some of them) good luck to you and your mustang, personally you should have gotten a chevy.....

 

Rock Falls? i may or may not go. Depending on whether i get my Bullitt mustang spec tokico shock/struts, and springs in. I'm currently driving around with a loose spring(s) outback which leads to excessive rubbing during hard launches. At 90k miles, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them.

 

bwahahahahahaha.... that;s some funny ****, i even know Mustang guys that say the GTs are slow as *****..... damn, i needed a good laugh

oh, by the way, i HAVE beat stock GTs with just a catback exhaust and a CAI with my 5th gen lude....... now, it's no contest, i have even schooled a few so called "built" mustangs as well..... Cobra is my new snack of choice

 

I'm not sure if it is at Rock Falls or not. Miacracing.com has the info I think. The Mustang club should have the info also, but I don't know the URL for it.
