"V6 Stangs" is pretty vague... When stock, they run anywhere from high 14's (Manual '05+) to well into the 17's (Auto Convertible 94-98's).

 

Like Blainestang said, there are many many different kinds of v6 Mustangs....the 05-06 s197's will beat any Cobalt stock for stock but the ss/sc, stock are high 14's for 5-sp to low 15's for auto. I wouldn't even waste gas on a Cavi, or a Cobalt LS esp from a dig...that said a ss/sc will hand me my ass, and have lol .

 

I don't know dude, I hear those West Virginia Jettas are a breed of their own......

 

You're telling me '03-'04 cobra's can barely beat you strock S2000?

 

Come on PhxSS, haven't you ever heard of VTEC???



So, what does your S2K run @ the track? And what kind of 60's are you pulling to ALWAYS pull hard off the line?

 

torque > vtec imo lol

 

an S2000 pulling hard off the line? OMFG thats the funniest **** Ive ever heard
but what happens when you combine them?

fyi, the 05+ GT's have Vtec, a lot of people dont know that.

 

no I said before 99 cobras with mods also, now the newer cobras no but the newer GT's yes.

 

please go shoot yourself for being an idiot.. your not gonna stand a chance with either cobra let alone a modden stang with your s2k

 

Put it this way, No I don't hav any torque but mustangs have plenty. Thats why I dont spin off the line, I rev to 6k and drop the clutch. Immediatly when I do stop spinning which is after about 10-15feet that puts me right in VTEC and keep in mind I rev to 10k. So while the mustang is back there spinning I'm up ahead in my VTEC.

 

Also I havent ran at the track yet so I dont know my time. But I might dyno my S2K and the SRT.

 

Is that a trick question? No honda has ever done that... (just kidding of course)

srt-s2k... what happens if the mustang invests in a good set of tires and knows how to properly launch instead of just dropping the hammer which you do with your s2k?

 

Im sure if he knew what he was doing he would beat me. Yes, he has way more power than me but if he puts it out all off the line he's stayin behind unless his car has alot of power to catch back up. I also said around the year 99. I bet if you cobalts go find a COBRA you will probably beat him also. They are some of th slowest year mustangs the make and you guys knew that I bet you wouldn't be talkin like that.

 

Stock S2K's rev to 10K?

 

i had a guy in a brand new mustang gt convertible race me. it was after getting off the highway onto a main road. we both stopped at the light and i went first and waited to see what he would do and he punches about 1-1.5 cars beind me and im doin about 35 in 2nd and floor it and he could not pass me and i pulled away midway through 3rd gear. it might have been because it was an auto but i felt pretty good after that.

 

Yea, I have an 02 and the only cars that did that was I think 02 and 03 not sure though. I shift at about 9k though and dont forget the way my car is set up I have a custom trunk so alot of weight is over my back wheels to help me out.

 

was that mustang spinning off the line or no?

 

Who lives near Houston to let me prove it

 

I'm not saying it's impossible, because anything can happen on the street, but a stock S2000 with a bunch of extra weight in the trunk is significantly slower of the line and from a roll than a 99/01 Cobra, given equal drivers.

If you're beating New Edge Cobra's at anything in a straight line, they aren't very good drivers.

Which is no offense to you... In fact, it means you're probably a good driver.

 

I've got a 2.4 and i'm not really worried about any stock V6 stang or 5.0. moddied, well, we can't discuss modded because who knows what some whackjob has sunder his hood.

V8s... different issue. If it's an automatic, i'm basically toast, but if it's a 5 speed i figure i may have a shot if he blows the lauch.

either way, i don't really wanna mess with a stang.

 

04 mustang GT-----04 mustang cobra-----02 honda s2000
260 @ 5250 RPM----390 @ 6000 RPM------240 @ 8300 RPM
302 @ 4000 RPM----390 @ 3500 RPM------153 @ 7500 RPM

Now im not saying your car CANT beat a cobra... just spec wise i would say a GT over powers your car. Yes, it is heavier, yes that generation of mustang is notorious for having problems with traction, but if the driver of the stang has control and doesnt just spin his tires (which a good racer doesnt) then you wouldnt stand a chance, yea sure you dont hafta shift as much with the higher redline... but lets face it by the time hes in 3rd and you're just getting out of first hes probably plenty of car lengths ahead of you.

Just my thoughts

 

Think it's 9k.

 

Just FYI,

-Manual '05+ V6 Mustangs are capable of high 14's, stock. Not to mention, a well driven 99-04 Manual would definately give a 2.4 a good run for it's money.

-Manual well-cared-for 5.0's are certainly capable of high 14's as well, with some running as low as low 14's stock. The fastest of which are the notchbacks which weigh about what a SS/SC weighs, has a similar amount of power, much more tq, and can get out of the hole like a relatively light RWD V8 should. (I've heard of high 13's also, but I'll stick with low 14's)... of course stock 5.0's are fairly rare. Most are either modded or ragged out by now.

 

Truth is, a 99-04 GT is a driver's with an S2k. Both usually run low 14's with decent driving. You've got to be willing to slip the clutch from ridiculous rpms in the S2k, but they're pretty quick if you make use of its little tq with a good helping of rpms.

Oh, and he's talking about 99/01 Cobra's, because the '03-04 Cobras would walk an S2k like he's standing on the brakes. There's a ~10mph+ difference in trap speeds.

 

right, it'd be a pretty decent race. what i mean is, i don't live in fear of them. a 2000+ GT i wouldn't even mess with.
