agh

yes they are still much faster than the v6's cus of the torque they have.

I would get a 89 5.0 convertible... but that's just me....

I wouldn't mind a '94-'95 5.0 Mustang..but it'd be really hard to find one without that many miles on it.

I don't know about an abomination... I think the very first Mustangs were 6 cylinders, then the V8s came later.

They only had 215hp? Maximas of the same era had 222hp didn't they?

This is why fvcking bench racing is bad. Just because something has more or similar HP doesn't mean they are on a similar performance plain. No, the 222HP Maxima was not a competitor. It was a slug compared to even the 98GTs.

Why would you want a SN-95 5.0?

Maximas of that era had 190..2000+ had 222.

And a '98 GT has 225..

Well it depends on what you mean by "much". They're both slow. One is in the 16's and one is in the 15's. When talking about slow cars, that isn't much of a spread to me.

Both ran 0-60 in ~6.5 seconds..

If you get the 6 cylinder, I'll have to take you to the track so I can clean your clock in my nearly stock truck. They're like decaffinated coffee and dating stupid women: it may seem like a good idea at first, but it really isn't.

Negative. The very first Mustangs had a 289 ci (~4.6L IIRC) V8. A smaller straight-6 was always an option though, I believe.

You could take a V6 automatic convertible car, yes. The new V6's are pretty nice though. I have a buddy with a 2002 V6 5spd coupe and he ran a best of 15.6 bone stock and runs consistently sub-16. Your dakota won't do that.

0-60 times should be scrapped too. Some manufacturers are refusing to implement a decent 6-speed manual (or 5-speed auto) because those trannies can't reach 60 in 2nd...

Repeat to yourself: "in pure straight line speed, all that matters is 1/4 mile."

Perhaps not, but a bone-stock Honda Civic could.

 

[Syringer]

Okay, in the 1/4 both cars run ~15 seconds flat as well..

So? Have you actually seen either car run at a track, or are you just bench racing? You know what? You don't deserve a Mustang. Please don't buy one and give us a bad name. Thanks.

Yes it can.

My FIRST TRIP EVER to the drag strip pulled 15.7@88MPH bone stock. And I was launching way too lightly.

Have you? Prove to me that the Maxima is a "slug" compared to the GT's. Both run similar times. And no, seeing two amateurs running them at a track doesn't count.

Stop pretending you know anything about cars other than your Mustang.

Hah - Suuuuure you did. If you're going to lie at least come up with something believable.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Funny, you discount it without even asking what I have, or how it's equipped.

 

[Syringer]

Well, you did say bone stock..though that is a believable time..

 

[jlee]

94-95 vert, if you want convertible -- same body style, but 5.0..

Edit:
I ran a 16.469 (Corolla), and a 94-98 V6 hardtop ran a 17.448..so if you're going to get a V6, get a new one. link for those who call BS...

 

[Binar]

whoever said stang sucks please stand up :|

 

[LAUST]

lol, people are comparing the 10:1 compression Maxima to the 9.4:1 4.6 liter...

The 2003 Mach 1 has a 10.1:1 compression 4.6 and it produces 305HP and 320lbs of torque.


There is no replacement for displacement.. sorry... don't give me that Boost $hit either. we can add boost too

when you little bench b!tches get a single bolt on that takes you ove 500lbs of torque give me a call. Until them empty your wallets kiddies

Of fvcking course I have. I am not some bench racer like you are. Do you have any experience with cars, other than what you read in a magazine? Obivously not if you are asking whether to get a 98GT or a 99 V6. The choice is obvious there, but you are telling me that I don't know anything. Ok buddy if it makes you feel better believe whatever you want. Two amatuers? Who exactly drives a Mustang or a Maxima? It sure as hell isn't a race car driver dipsh!t. It is typically a moron like you that doesn't have the foggiest idea about a cars real performance. As I said, please don't buy a Mustang. A nice riced out Civic would be much more fitting for you. BTW, please see my signature.
