MWAHAHAHAHA Hell yeah

lol...

on my way home last night i saw a car riding behind me, round headlights with 2 slightly raised fog lights (i always thought foglights were low cause then they would reach beneath the fog but whatever) So i get into the middle lane and slow down a bit and a brand spanking new 2007 Mustang GT California Special pulls along side of me still with temp tags. I give him thumbs up, he waves. Then a few seconds later he honks his horn 3 times. We were on a residential road at the time which has about a 1/2 strip with no lights and no side roads, just 3 lanes on either side seperated by a large grassy median and the back fences of houses beyond that.
I punch it, he punches it, i start pulling on him, we ran from 30-85 and by the time i hit 85 i was still pulling on him and his headlights were 1/2 car length behind me.
At 85 i had my fun and let off, there are no side roads on the whole strip and no traffic or lights but i dont trust the range of cops radars and my car is pretty loud. lol..
we hit the next intersection and he look a little bit ticket that a new egde took his brand new california special, and with his girlfriend in the car no less.

lol...

I agree, but what's your point?

2004
260 hp @ 5250 RPM
302 lb-ft @ 4,000 RPM

2007
300 hp @ 5750 RPM
320 lb-ft @ 4500 RPM

MattJ

Im just stating the fact.. not trying to be an asshat.

Jacks car isnt stock. Not only is he significantly lighter, but he has bolt-ons and gears which more than makes up for the horsepower difference. A high geared car will always take the win from a roll as well, in the same (or similar) vehicle. Gears are essentially, a torque multiplier. it can be put into its powerband a lot faster than someone whos not geared that way. And horsepower numbers dont mean jack shit. Its torque thats the winning number and they are pretty close.

New Fords suck!!! That is unless you buy a GT. Opps, forgot they quit making the hottest new thing to be bought off any US dealer showroom floorin the past 15 years. The new Corvette Z06 for example ,give me a break. They take a world-class N/A motor and put it in a front engine/rear drive chassis and say it can run with the world's best. No not quite, not when every sports car enthusiat in the modern world will tell you the engine needs to be further back, something like a, drum roll please... Ford GT, Enzo, Lambo, Veyron, etc...

The last SN197 I came upon was stock and like the T/A I was in, supposedly makes just over 300hp. My car isn't very far from that and weighs stock spec, but I just plummled this Mustang. I thought he let off I passed him so fast, but he said he was on it for all it had. I'm not hating on just Ford either, all the new performance cars from domestic automakers are soft and fat and ill designed to be sports cars. They are way more made for the masses/commuters.

Sorry to get so far off topic, but at least let me show you the pic I have of Factory Five's LS7 mid-engine sports car I saw earlier this year:



Now that's how you do it!!!

It's the girlfriend's car, and she wants to keep it all stock - I just gotta keep it clean and running

StreetRacer

uh....what???? s197 kicks ass...and the z06 CAN run with any car in the world...it can run with any exotic for a fraction of the exotics price...who cares where its engine is??

Snoflake

To get the new Z06 to run with the world's best at the 'ring in Germany took weeks of tuning and a ringer driver. Average driver, average setup, mid engine cars just handle beter. It is physics, and you can't beat physics. As for that new/old Mustang design, whatever it is designated, that weighs 4,000+ my 9 year old car can take it, stock vs, stock. That begs the question, which direction is Ford going? I see it as they are trying to sell to the masses and avoid bankruptcy, not making the hottest thing they could make. When GM was steady losing the stock battles against Ford in the 80's, they stepped up displacement in the 90's and got back in front. Why didn't/don't more 5.4s go into Mustangs to help make up the difference?

As for the bargain $ on the Z06, well it looks like a bagain price car when you get down to it. You get a much higher level of refinement when you pay the 6 digits that true exotics pull. Anyway, GM engineers have wanted to go mid-engine for a long time with the 'vette, but the old school feedback refuses to get behind such an idea. If the 'vette truly wants to step up to hallowed exotic car ground it needs to move the engine back and forget about a trunk.

StreetRacer

honestly...stock to stock your 88 5.0 can maybe run with a new edge v6...it wont smoke a s197 v6 and my gt can do rings around it

zigzaggthefag321

Thats not what the sticker on my door says.

wnracing

That is true, I forgot that Chris had gears. Good call!

wnracing

The older fox's can spank the 197's in the 1/8, but not in the 1/4.

There is a good 500+lb. weight difference between them, so that can help to bridge the gap on a shorter track.

StreetRacer

stock to stock???? i have yet to see that and i've run a few of em...like i said...maybe a v6 engine but a stock 1988 is not holding a candle to any modern gt...

wnracing

Yes sir. In-fact I just had a guy come in that runs the local 1/8 in his fox and he beats up on the 197's all the time. I believe all he has is exhaust.

Don't ever doubt the fox, they will surprise you.

StreetRacer

i worship the fox...it was and still remains the most legendary beast on the street and i salute it for what it is...but even if it wasnt a 20 year old car and i could take my gt back to 1988 and run them both off the dealer lot in a straight line it wouldnt pull on a s197...modded is another story...where i am i see them lift the front wheels all the time...modded up i have no doubt they would kick a ferraris ass but we are talkin stock to stock...and then we're talkin a stock 20 year old 225 hp car versus a spankin new 300 hp car...just havent seen it happen

Snoflake

Sorry to make this unclear, but maybe you can't see my signature or notice the part in the first sentence above where I said I was in a T/A. That is a '98 LS1 T/A, and I assure you that new body 'stang wants none stock-on-stock.

I know of the out of the hole fox body performance too. Believe it or not I know of one pretty stock that took a Lambo Contach(early 80's model) from the dig to 50!
